Chris, have you seen the new Ozone access harness?
I thought of you as it's designed around a climbing and a waist harness all in one system. It does not have a spreader, it uses a D ring which you open your chicken loop ,thread it through the ring and then close it. I'm pretty sure the SS bar C loop opens up the same way as the Ozone and would work. It's no good if you like unhooked stuff though.
Apparently the guy who did the mystic snow harness designed it for Ozone.
Its on http://www.windzup.com and http://www.flyozone.com I think under both sites it's linked in with the access kites.

It's best to go to http://www.flyozone.com go to snowkites. then access and there's a link to see the harness stuff.
It's almost as though they're hiding the info.

Ozone access XC Harness

I have one in stock and it is very similar to the Instinct Blazer except it has a D ring instead of a spreader bar. It is definately designed to fit a lot of waist sizes and is moderately priced in comparison to the Blazer. If one is into the climbing style harness it is very well built and would be a good choice.

I was talking to Heather from Windzup, she's ridden it and has changed to making it her full time winter harness. When I asked what she thought she said she put it on and rode and forgot all about it. Which we decided was as good a compliment as you can give.
She also mentioned it's great as it does not move and disperses the weight throughout the harness. Her quote was it's great for a womens figure as it does not ride up, like a waist harness.
They put Joel in it who probably weighs 300 lbs, it fitted. So the sizing probably is one size fits all.
I've got one coming for myself so I'll be able to show it off.
