I was thinking it might be a nice touch for a sail-maker to incorporate a tiny window in the luff sleeve at the location where their brand of mast would come together. I realize there are sizing chall ... |

Back when sliding spreader bars came with most harnesses, all my buds disabled the sliding feature. It's a preference, not a panacea.
I can only say, which is what I have been saying, that the old ... |

I have the same T8 harness and I find that I usually need to use my thumbs to help hook/unhook just to be safe. Don't remember having this level of difficulty with my previous harnesses.
Thanks fo ... |

Ooooh... maybe it's caused by the added slack from the sliding system. It takes a bit more effort to unhook as the bar wants to follow the hook dropping down with it.

My 30" lines are on the way now, along with a new conventional spreader bar and buckle. I think the 30" lines may help, especially if I need to go back to that "improved" padded ba ... |

Well, it looked good on paper (ether). Your idea would have worked if the non-slider spreader was the same. Unfortunately, it has a couple of extra squared off loops on the clip side that may eventual ... |

That hook shape looks different than my windsurfing hooks. More bent in at the bottom
Are you looking at the kiting hook that the image was posted of above? I'll attach an image below of the spread ... |

Will your old Spreader Bar work on your t-8?
Just wondering.

No, not without changing the attachment hooks at the sides. Old one is sliding bar. New one is stationary, with double webb ... |
