just got a set of these the other day and tried them last saturday. these gadgets are awesome if you are looking for harness length adjustability on the fly.
they dont use crap buckles that fizz after 2 weeks or plastic buckles that you cant move...the lines incorporate a stainless roller and a 'V' line jam all in the 1 compact fitting that does the job perfectly.you can check them on the sailworks web site. and they are available in Perth.

they are called quick tune harness lines her is the link

which outlet has them
Mineral

We have a few sets of the sailworks harness lines left, we will be getting more stock for the summer, you can purchase them from our store on the east coast or Windforce in W.A now stock them.
These lines are awesome for guys wanting to run variable length lines, they have been very popular with the formula guys over here on the east coast, these lines can be adjusted while you are still hooked in, you just un weight your harness and pull the line to make them shorter or longer, the rope and the tubing can be replaced once they wear, so you can get many seasons out of one set of lines. i have been using them on my freeride gear this season and love them.
Good Winds Jas......................

I've been using the Dakine adjustable lines for a few seasons now and definitely agree that being able to lenghten/shorten lines during a session is great. I find that longer lines help in marginal winds and shorter lines offer more control in overpowered conditions.

I have had trouble with the Dakine lines as the rope is sewed into the webbing with a few meager threads (you can see them on the left in the picture). Invariably these threads break and I'm on my 3rd set (warranty). It's a really dodgy design that I hope Dakine will change because other than that, the lines are the biz.

I am the same leech. They are great but dont last. On my second set and now the loop with the white plastic has come unstitched. It's really pisses my off that things can not be made to last or at least be built properly.

I just ordered a set of the sailworks ones. After seeing Snide's ones they look the goods big time.

gday leech my other boom still has a set of these on them,the metal buckle froze a long time ago but the lines them selves are still usable,i think the metal used is ali,and they have corroded up...... just waiting for a good catapult miles from land to break them and force me to buy some more sailworks lines.
obviously if you have the facility to wash your gear after a sail the buckles would have a longer life......but the sailworks jam system is all s/s.

ps i used the sailworks lines last sat for a long sess with a 7.6 and due to the gusty conditions,found them to be great for adjustment even when they are loaded up under body weight.
