Apeks WTX Webbed Harness

Has anyone used or seen one of these?
I was thinking of buying one but have never seen one up close.
They look like good value for money even having stainless retainers.
My main concern is if the webbing stiff or soft ?
Was going to match it up with an WTX6 wing
if anyone has an opinion on this setup ?

I've got one and it is a very good bit of kit. Robust webbing and plenty of D-rings. You can put a steel or aluminium backplate on it and I used this to attach twin 12s and an oversized (got it cheap though) OMS wing.

For my trips abroad though, I got a Diverite Transpac II (the older model) which is a bit smaller and more streamlined than the Apeks harness and I have a 30lb Venture wing on it. I actually put the Apeks integreated weight system on this harness too.

Backplates and stuff

Try there, scroll down to harness only.

37 quid and it's all you'll ever need, the webbing is stiff where you need and soft where you don't.
