My Banks Radial is the most comfortable harness I've ever owned.

They havent changed that bit and i bought mine this year but i have never fell out

I am using a Magic Marine Regatta Ladies Harness which I use with my sister.

We ended up spending over an hour in Whitstable trying different ones on to find one we both find comfortable.

I was lucky that me and my sister are a similar size

You both need to go and try some one.

Curly Ben - the best spray top I've ever had was made by Yak. it was a
semi dry breathable - seals at wrists and neck with a zip up fleece neck
and neopreme velco wasit band. Still going strong, must be 10 years old
now.

One of my friends has a made to measure harness which his girlfriend has worn occasionally and she fits into it ok, though obviously a personal custom made one is going to be better! I certainly prefer made to measure to anything with straps. I also can't recommend Magic Marine quality after my £60 spray top lost all the lining from the sleeves within about 10 months of light use - water now pours through it and I've had no reply from contacting the shop I bought it from

Another vote for the MM skiff light!

Very comfy and adjustabe but with the straps covered up leaving very little on show to snag
