I've been riding with the LF Luxury and have been really happy it. I hear that the Mystics are great too...

1. Go to the local shop

2. Try a bunch of harnesses on

3. Buy the one YOU like Idea

If you're always unhooked then you won't need a harness.

guess you wouldn't even call it 'unhooked'

maybe you would just call it 'riding'

What do you hook your leash to then?

P.S. - First time I hit quote, it added "and your arms will get burly."... refreshed, and it was gone! You're too fast! Laughing

Ive tried a couple different ones, the mystic warrior was the only one that was really comfortable for me. Problem is they are stupid expensive. I don't know of anyone in the gorge that carries them. I got my from Jetty Island.

i second the North Styler - no need for the "Air" version. Super comfortable and
supportive...
