Went and tried on a Mystic Dragonshield Harness today, and it seemed comfy to me with it on in the shop, but i was told that they arent comfy when riding, they are as minimal as possible...
does anyone ride one on here and if so, how comfy are they? do you have to break them in or get used to them much?
Thanks
Rhys

I've tried a dragonshield that was already worn in. I found it very comfortable when I first put it on. Riding it is different. I really stress this a harness for the aggressive rider that kites unhooked. It gives you alot of mobility and it does support the part of your back that you need most support with but there are more comfortable harnesses out there like the Mystic warrior. The Warrior is gonna suit alot more people. I've found that with all riders who have bought the mystics say they need a little bit of time breaking into them. So like a nice boot they're a bit of a pain breaking into them at first and before long they are the most comfy fit.

Rhys, I have a dragonsheild, it is awesome! I prefer a smaller harness that actually allows your body to move whilst still giving you enough support where needed. At first I was not comfortable as they are quite stiff, but after a few rides it softens and molds better to your mid section, offering even better support. Sideshow Bob also has one, and he loves it all the same.
