Does the quick release system work well?
In the $150 range is there a better harness for the money?
Also having a hard time finding a clean link to the Aquata site.

Posts: 267 Ocean Springs, MS | I bought the equipe xt before the quick release came available. The harness is well made and comfortable when well adjusted. My problem was after going in and out after a couple of hours it needed serious adjustment. I decided to go a different route and got the Dakine Nitrous windsurfing shorts and I'm amazed how comfortable and easy to use they are. the only reason i use the equipe now is for very long distance races when i know i'll want the extra shoulder support.

Posts: 1,152 tampa, fl | Along the same lines of this post....I had my girlfriend out on the boat last week for the first time, and she took to it like a champ....Out on the wire, hoisting, flying, and dousing the spin. Everthing. But she was extremely uncomfortable in the harness (and aquata half harness). I was thinking she may be more comfortable in one of the old stlye harnesses without the spreader bars. Any female sailors out there care to chime in on what they feel is most comfortable for them?

Posts: 5,590 Naples, FL | I would venture a guess it wasn't the spreader bar that was uncomfortable, but rather the leg straps. The spreader bar is what keeps the seat harness from making your waistline/pelvis hurt.
Try hanging from your belt buckle a few times and you'll get what I mean.
Any other options for those crotch straps? That's what usually bothers me....
