I borrowed a MM skiff light a few weekends back and found it very nice, probaly a bit comfier than my old MM one and the straps are covered better so less stuff to catch on.

When i have borrowed the Magic Marine skiff light harness i found it very comfy, very adjustable too. 

I eventually bought a P&B made to measure which is fantastic, you can't feel it on you! but its not ajustable so probably not the best idea!

From all the adjustable ones i have tried i would vote the skiff light. From all harnesses i have ever tried i would choose the P&B made to measure.

From the top of my head, it's the Equipe (?) harness. One of the most comfy harnesses I've used, all the nappy ones have been uncomfortable so don't really mind sacrificing a few grams of added weight, just as long as I'm comfortable on the wire. What's better, being almost un-noticably lighter and aching round the course or having the miniscule weight difference, unaware you are wearing a harness and being able to concentrate on other things other than things hurting.

I got the crewsaver Adjustable Nappy Harness. By far the best I have used and very adjustable while also having nothing to snag.

if you go to ldc they have a test rig in their shop got loads of them as well.

i have a standard spreaderbar one cant remember who made it think it is a gul.

and have bought a banks nappy for my 14 which is amazingly comfortable.

i looked at loads and some are truly crap.

think the nappy ones are the best but depends on what u sail i used to sail cats loads so got a harness for lieing flat and not much standing now sail skiffs so have a simple one no straps just the hook

At the moment I'm using a magic marine one, it's a male fit but it fits me very comfortably.....it's good cos you can adjust it loads so it fits the more feminie shape better. I'm afraid I can't remember which specific magic marine one it is....might be something beginning with E.
