OMS harness.

I'm thinking of getting the IQ-OMS IQ HARNESS.

Anyone used/got one? They are abt £175 which seems a lot for a harness?

i had one, thought about selling it when i got a s/s BP, but have kept it for using for holidays, single cylinder bimbles and training.

can use it with/out backplate (aluminium) which is attached inside a pouch

the fit of the IQ is not as adjustable as a BP, but what is? if you are roughly average shape, then it should be fine

what are you planning to use IQ for?

I have two and love the IQ.

I bought the first one some years ago and then sold it last year because I didn't like the built-in pockets, so I bought an OMS comfort harness. I have now bought a new IQ pack and on the same day bought a second hand one. I think they are very comfy which the comfort harness wasn't, I think my bits got in the way

Oh, I had almost made up mind to get the harness and comfort thingy but ...... There is a possibility of purchasing a second hand IQ harness so maybe that eould be the thing to do.

Sorry, having trouble with your bits ......... I'm not quite "seeing it" ..... if you could post some pictures I'd be very grateful and I'm sure your popularity amongst the the male portion of YD would increase?

Thanks for the info.

Bryan

Sorry Bryan we don't want YD to crash now do we

I have a comfort harness and a IQ pack you could try if you wanted to. But there wouldn't be a BP in the IQ pack because I only have one.
