BIG shout out to Teddy at Onebadhawk harnesses. I presented Teddy with a damaged harness at AIRFest a couple of weeks ago. It was damaged due to my lack of care because I used a bent eye bolt instead of a welded loop. Big NO NO. The harness got caught on the open end of the metal loop and shredded the webbing in the center of the material. The 1" flat Kevlar had plenty of good cross section left to it, and held up to the flight just fine. I flew it for a few subsequent flights as well with no issue. But since it had a weakened spot I paid a visit to the Harness Doctor. Teddy took the harness back to his shop and and stitched in a new section of Kevlar to bridge over the damaged section. I received it last week and it is good as new. Better, actually, since it now has a 4th loop. All of this at NO CHARGE to me. I love the 1" Kevlar and use it (pretty much) exclusively - with a 100% track record. I will continue to use Onebadhawk as long as I fly.
