I know the icon/nike frames are very popular here so thought I would ask. I'm using the stock icon harness which works for me, but it sits very low on my head to the point it is uncomfortable on my ears. Same with my FM25, so I moved the harness to the ear guards which works fine. Any tips for bringing a harness up when there are no other attachment points?

Tape! In particular, athletic tape!

Someone had randomly put it on the Rawlings I bought some time back under where the straps would go. Ill try and remember to take a photo for you when I get the chance.

It doesn't take much if you look at it. Now, mind you, I dont know how old this tape is. But it is a GREAT idea for something like this. Wish I had known about it when I had my Nike because it drove me nuts as well coming from a Diamond.

Jim Reynolds still wears the FM25 and added tape to the bars to make sure the harness doesn’t slide too much.

I always liked attaching them to the outer bars.  I don’t care how it looks but understand some might be turned off by it.

I've tried it in the past. Never got used to it.
