Default Restraint Harness

I need to replace my seat belt and shoulder harness. I have some
flexibility since my glider is an experimental (LS4). Based in the USA.

It currently has a four point harness made by Gadringer. Choices are to
get it re-webbed or replaced. I am leaning toward trying to get it
re-webbed, but thought I would see what folks like today in the way of
harnesses as I might just as easily replace it.

What is the favored harness manufacturer today? Or is there a favorite?

Thanks for the input.

If you haven't already, check out Hooker Harness. My ship (came into my hands
1981) left the US factory (Experimental Exhibition and Racing registration)
with a Hooker 5-point harness. Never've had any reason to not like the setup.
I'd reckon any 5 or 6 point harness would be better than any 4-point in the
event of a rapid horizontal stoppage.

YMMV.
