172 TECH Harnesses 2.0 ness. The more harnesses you try, the more useful feedback you will get to understand what you really need. WITH OR WITHOUT WETSUIT? The harness should be tested with the wetsuit measure we use the most or the thickest one we have in mm (usually 5 mm) as well as WITHOUT a wetsuit. This way you can verify the correct size you need in both situations. But what really happens is that many people try it at the shop without a wetsuit and go for the just about right size so that when they wear it on top of the wetsuit it turns out to be small. SIZES? Sizes are unfortunately just an indication. For ex. a size M is not always identical to another size M as it differs according to the manufacturer and even when it comes from the same manufacturer it may fit differently if it is a different model... Lastly, it goes without saying that a size M fits completely differently a very thin body shape than a fatter one. Perhaps, could it be more useful if we were to check the size tables provided by some manufacturers? (see size table attachment) Unfortunately there are substantial discrepancies between a theoretical "standard" size and the reality of human morphology which is always very diverse ... For example, according to the size table at hand considering that I weigh 87 Kg I should wear an XL but, I am 1.88 cm tall so I should wear a XXL. However as my chest is 94 cm I should wear an S and being my waist 88 cm I should use an L. So, which one is my correct size? In the end it's an M! We very frequently hear things like "this harness does not fit properly, the other one is perfect etc etc" ... This is often due to the correct fitting of the harness, i.e. a harness which rides up to the rib-cage is considered to be a bad one but that’s usually because the person who chose it did not properly evaluate the correct size or maybe because he or she didn't have the chance to try it before buying it.. APPEARANCE & DESIGN The colours of a harness always have their charm, they can express peace or aggressiveness, joy or pessimism, for a lot of people that is just a detail and focus their choice on more practical parameters. For some others though, the colours are the only parameter of choice which of course it is not the best way to choose a harness! Same goes for the design, it can be very simple or minimalist, or highly sophisticated, some people go for smooth ones, other people for more aggressive thermoforms.
MEN'S SIZE CHART (Example courtesy Prolimit) SIZE WEIGHT (KG) ALTEZZA (CM) BREAST(CM) WAIST (CM) 46/XS 54-64 168-173 92-96 69-75 48/S 61-70 171-176 96-100 75-81 50/M 66-77 173-178 100-106 80-86 52/L 77-86 177-181 106-111 85-91 54/XL 86-95 178-186 111-116 90-96 56/XXL 95-104 183-188 116-121 95-101 END USE Then the next choice you need to focus on is simply the main use you need your harness for (Wave, Freestyle, Freeride, Race...). If you practice all disciplines and you only want to buy one harness you will have to go for an allround one, whereas if you only do Wave riding you will have to look for that specific model.
