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.

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.

 

...yesterday I couldnt spell enginner...now I are one!......

Another vote for the MM skiff light!

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

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

MM skiff light is the one I've got. Also have a Batt made to measure. But it
was made a little tight to start with and now my age has caught up with
my waist. But i do like my MM skiff light apart form the adjusting straps
had a habit of undoing so I folded over the ends and sewed them so I
didn't fall out of it mid race which did happen once! they may have
changed the design since.

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.

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.
