Depends on how much $$ you want to spend. The best, most comfortable harness I've ever had (and I've had a few over the last 45 years) is the Zhik T2. But it's going to set you back close to $300. Typically, the PFD is worn over the harness, so that's where you'll find the pockets. There are very few sailing PFDs made anymore - but the kayaking ones are just as good. The Hobie-branded gear is reasonably priced and generally quite good. |
