NEO Suspender 2.0 — A Bucket-Seat XC Harness With Seat-Board Composure

The Suspender 2.0's strengths are clear-cut. It hands you the comfort of a bucket seat while keeping its behaviour close to a seat-board, and it carries thermal entry and turbulence damping in the same body. It's a fitting pick for a pilot moving over from a seat-board harness who wants to shift their centre of gravity toward XC without giving up composure. Bassil adds one caveat, though: a harness is an intensely personal piece of kit, so even the same size can feel different from one body shape to the next. This harness's composure and balance are virtues you confirm by sitting in it yourself, not by reading a spec sheet. If it appeals to you, sit in a demo first.
