I gave up on waist harnesses in my first couple of years of kiting. So, others will have to give you input on those if that is what you use. I have used Dakine Fusion seat harnesses for years, I think I am on my fourth one with good performance. I have used some other more lightly constructed ones but keep coming back to the Fusion for support and durability. The extra support seems to really help manage impacts from hours long sessions and nasty wipeouts.
