Hi, any of you already tested both? Any advantage of the stiffer X? wonder if the closing mechanism of the non X is nicer.
Came from ION Arc, which is not padded enough in the front for me. after full powered session i had marks on my skin and also the straps moved which made it hard to unhook at high winds.
I bought a 2nd hand Mystic X harness 2 years ago at Windsurfing Perth for 200 dollars for windsurfing.
I did a custom job to make the hook slide so bar is connected by only the top straps now. Changed the bar to a shorter one to increase the slide. Added leg straps to stop it coming up.
Easily the best harness I've ever used.
Zero back discomfort, so incredibly comfortable.
Tried to go back to my Flying Objects Transit for a period but not even close.

The mystic majestic looks more like a proper harness which from Ion is the Rogue or Rave.
I personally use the Ion Arc with the spreader pad from the rogue. only wave riding so don't need a full harness like you do if racing
I rode a friend's Ion Rave today for a good 3-4 hours. It really liked it. That said, I think I'm going to give the Mystic Majestic a chance. I like the non-velcro buckle on the ION. It's a lot like the one on the Dakines, but smaller. But I see some online with plastic buckles, so I don't know if they've changed it. I'm not too sure about the bungee centering hook. I sorta works, but I think it may be better not having that features... more like Mystic Majestic.
