Harness protector

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to embodiments of harnesses for supporting and improving comfort of a bicyclist while riding a bicycle. In at least one embodiment, the harness includes a support portion, which supports and contacts hips or a waist of the bicyclist, and a saddle contact portion, which supports and contacts a gluteus maximus (i.e., posterior, rear, butt, etc.) of the bicyclist. The saddle contact portion raises or suspends a perineum area (e.g., an area between the anus and the vulva or scrotum of an individual) of the bicyclist (i.e., rider, operator, user, etc.) above the saddle of the bicycle such that the perineum area does not contact the saddle of the bicycle while riding the bicycle. The harness is adjustable by a plurality of adjustable straps that are coupled between the support and the saddle contact portion. The harness is further adjustable by loosening a locking component interlocking with a toothed member of the support portion, which allows the support portion to be moved from various positions. The bicyclist wears the harness over their external clothing (e.g., pants, shorts, shirt, jacket, etc.).
