Harness with Skullcap

Any tips or tricks?

“Spray-tack”. 

This is used on bats, in lieu of pine tar. It’s also found in fabric/hobbyist stores (Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, Jo-Ann Fabrics, etc.) to tack fabric pieces together prior to sewing. It’s not a cement or glue, per se. 

Spray on the inside surface of the harness every few games, and you should see the harness cling to the skullcap better.

Another suggestion?  Use the All Star delta flex harness in all black.  Best harness for skull caps out there in my opinion!

If you insist on using another harness though, I have had success with putting a small square of black Velcro (pointy side) on the middle, back of my skull cap.  When I put the harness on, it grabs and holds it in place.  It will hold it steady through everything and will still allow you to pull it loose when you remove your mask.

Would a Honig's $7.99 harness work or would I still need the sticky tack/velcro?

I know this harness well (best conventional harness, as a value, on the market; waaaaaaay better than the atrocious Wilson harness). While it would work, it’ll slide even more readily than a neoprene or flex harness because it’s just coated nylon webbing. 
Not really ideal for skullcaps.

I think it likely depends on which skullcap you use. I use the All-Star Cobalt skull cap, which I love, but I do wish they didn't have the sandpaper finish - while the purpose is to make it grippier (I think), the neoprene-type harnesses seem to slip more on it than they would on a standard glossy finish, at least in my experience.  That said, I still think the AS Cobalt is the best skull cap there is. I've used both the AS Delta-Flex (all black) and as great as it is, I like the Ump-Life version 2 mask harness better, but both work great.
