Super comfortable harness! I used it for a week-long liveaboard trip diving both single and twin tanks, and it was supportive without causing any pain on my back. The harness was easy to adjust even with thick wetsuits.

The quick-release shoulder buckles are really practical, especially when getting in and out of gear on a rocking boat. I wish the padding on the waist strap was just a bit thicker, but overall a solid harness.
