2007 Mystic, Firestarter Waist Harness Review

Mystic

Product: Firestarter Waist Harness

Size(s): XS to XL

From the Manufacturer:

Own the ultimate high performance waist harness. Building off the success of the Warrior harness, Mystic has taken all the key features; kinetic back support, battle belt waist closure, spreader-bar protector and down system, easily accessible safety knife, and offers the maximum range-of-motion through the unique Firestarter Badge. This feature is built to both offer back support and flexibility a kiter needs to do high performance kiteloops, handlepasses and rail grabs.

The Kiteboarder Report:

The Firestarter is a very nice looking harness and comes stock with several accessories including a handlepass system, knife, and safety release. We tested the Firestarter over a period of a few weeks and were very impressed with the back support and how the harness never seemed to ride up. Mystic added a molded piece on the back of the harness for extra back support. This along with their spreader bar and the spreader bar down system kept the harness in one place. The attention to detail on the Firestarter is really over the top. Mystic did an awesome job creating a well padded and durable piece of equipment. If you are looking for a harness that has mega back support with every bell and whistle that will not ride up, then check out the Firestarter.
