    I started with the comfort harness and have swapped to a single piece harness with deep outdoors d rings. I find this set up easier to don,use and is comfortable. Funnily enough I find shut downs easier.

    So 6 of the 11 posts are people going from complicated harnesses to one piece - is there a trend
    It is impossible to make everything foolproof because fools are so ingenious

    I've been diving in an IQ harness for the past 8 years.... I've just bought a one peice to try... I've also had the Delux, comfort and the single break harness from OMS but have always gone back to the IQ just plainly out of comfort and ease of adjustment. I would like something simpler but atm the IQ is the best I've used.
    Are we having fun yet....?

    I don't find the single break on the left shoulder a problem and it certainly makes it easier to get into compared a single piece harness but its up to personal choice on that one.........
    I went for the DR Deluxe harness cos I wanted a break and didn't want to make my own. I like mine and find it very comfortable and I'm glad I went for one with a break. After having it sorted and adjusted properly for me I found it easy to put on, couldn't feel it in the water and cos of the break found it really easy to take off. Don't regret my purchase at all and like the fact I didn't need to put the break in myself! OPH doesn't work for everyone, one of them being me. I respect it works for lots, so I wish they'd respect that a OPH doesn't work for everyone!!!!

    I have an Audaxpro wing which is very similar to the OMS units. I have the comfort harness but found it to be bulky, a faff to setup and also noticed some of the straps would loosen off during a dive.
    I bought an Apeks one piece and have loved it ever since.

    Ive got the comfort harness, it does need a bit of fannying around to get it adjusted properly but it great once you've done this. Makes taking kit off in the water a lot easier.
    Doing it anyway I can

    Same here I have the Comfort Harness II, took me a couple of dives to get it the way I wanted it but its great now and I wouldn't change to anything else!!
