I wear nitrous shorts and i notice that i am the one of the very few kiters wearing a seat-style harness. Is this a bad thing? will wearing this harness oposed to a waist harness effect my style or performance? What are the pros and cons?

just looking for opinions, Thanks.

I wear the Nitro's as well, I love them, but trying to ride toe-side is very hard. Rotation tricks take a bit to get used to, cause your rotation point is lower than a waist.

I switch to the Nitrous shorts because of my back getting strained after long sessions. They work great and I have no trouble with tricks or riding switch they just take a couple days to get used too.
