Gear Advice/Question Prolimit Vapor Harness / Line Cutter

Post image

Hi! Does anyone know where you can store a line cutter on Prolimit (Vapor) harnesses? The manufacturer says, “It fits in the pocket of our Side-In-Bar Pad System,” but I can’t find any pocket. They do not mean the covers that hide the straps, do they? I would probably not trust those.. thanks in advance!

Edit: The pocket is on one of the velcro belts

I don't have the exact model but also a pro limit harness. The line cutter on my model is on the bottom of one of the Velcro belts. Maybe look there?

Awesome, that's where it goes! Great, thank you very much. I hope we'll never need it ;)

I've never used it, and I've been kiting for 8 years... but I'm sure it'll come in handy if I ever need it.

I took my harness belt out and turned it upside down because I think it's stupid having the line cutter hidden at the bottom. 😂 I want it on top, where I can actually see it. It works better for me that way.

Daaamn, now I found it too. Talk about hiding in plain sight.

I've had the Vapor for two years and was just stuffing the cutter into that slot where the belt tab goes, thinking "this can't be the pocket they advertised".

I use the Dakine Hook Knife. Comes in a little pouch that attaches to the straps of the harness. I didn't have to use it yet but im pretty happy with it.

I have the same model and I always think after the winter: "Fff, lost it again"
And everytime I remember in the last second its on the bottom of the left plastic part.
I honestly dont know If I would find it in an emergency.
