Our high school uses these carriers and our line absolutely loves them. They are very light, Very durable and are extremely adjustable. The only problem we ever encountered was when we got a freshman snare that was like 4'9" and we had a little trouble getting it to adjust to him, but we did eventually. Overall, very nice carrier and I would recommend them to anyone. 10/10.

These harnesses are pretty rockin'. I think its impossible to find a person that it won't fit. They are really light and extremly comfortable. The only thing I would change if I had designed it is, I would have made the tubes closer to the players body so that they actually touch his chest. This would make the COOLEST rack tan ever.

Uniformity Issues due to price!

Great Product! For schools with financial trouble however, save your money. I would just throw out that to buy one or two of these harnesses would require that in the shows, the harnesses must be covered! Too expensive, my instructor ordered 2 one for me and one for my assistant and is using them as something for the freshman to work toward, but that has severly limited my ideas for uniforms for second semester indoor shows. Much lighter then the huge fiberglass harnesses we used before and surprisingly even cooler due the the air flow not being blocked by an inch of fiberglass!

Creates a bulge under uniforms on some body types
|
|
I love this carrier. I have one for personal use and wouldn't trade it for anything. The huge belly plate allows they weight of the drum to rest soley on your abs and thus doesn't create bruising on hip bones that occured with some people. With some people the carrier can cause a bulge under the uniform since the carrier doesn't always rest close to the body. For most people that isn't a problem. Fully adjustable in any direction, you have almost and endless amount of options.

I liked this harness since you can adjust it to your size unless you are a small player. It can create some uniform issues but those are according to the uniforms.
The bad thing is how expensive they are.
The good thing is how comfortable they are under or over your uniform. They are very light compared to other harnesses out there.

Complex design leads to durabilty issues, very expensive.

Our Bass and Tenor lines use the Mag Tube Carriers, and I have marched both positions. These are probably the most comfortable carriers on the market (Well, May's brand new ones would probably be better). The weight distribution is excellent, and the adjustability makes it that much more comfortable.
Since it is a more complex design than vests with more joints and tubes and such, the durability falls. Maybe the fact that our carriers were hand-me downs from the Bluecoats in 2002 is a factor, but screws are always coming loose, and we've had bass hooks just plain rip out of the shoulder brackets, pretty much destroying the brackets. Also, tenor J-bars have snapper at the bend. The backbar has been problematic as well, with bolts coming out and the magnesium just snapping. The replacement parts for these, as well as the harnesses themselves, are VERY expensive and tend to be out of stock, and with older models, we've often run into them saying "Sorry, we don't offer them any more."
These are very comfortable harnesses, and I'm sure that newer models and models that weren't on a DCI tour all summer and in the hands of negligent highschoolers for 3 years will stand up much better.
