hey...
those of you with harnesses, do you use harness pads? 
i've been using them for a while because i'm pretty skinny and the harnesses rub on my bones otherwise 
just wondering who uses them or hates them?

i did for a while, but they annoyed me, so i stopped
i also had some lumbar cushions, which were awesome if you managed to get them in the right place, but they were really uncomfortable if you didnt
if the harnesses are rubbing, they arent tight enough

i used to get bruises on my shoulders if i went for a 'spirited' drive, and did them up silly tight before hand
thats why i got the pads, but then they used to piss be off, so i threw them away

spose just dont feel i need them, they fit comfortably enough, and if i get a burn or something from them, then it will purely be my own fault, so war wounds all round

My 3" TRS Magnums were VERY comfy even when tight!
What parts are actually hurting? If its the adjusters have you tried moving them?

Im quite skinny and dont have a problem with the harnesses without pads, I got some pads but took them out because they were really uncomfortable, and went back to no pads and really comfortable!
only 2" also
