Thanks very much for all helpful replies.

Kurt - I emailed you about the strap. I was also
rear-ended and that's when my back problems started. I
had tons of physiotherapy and it helped a lot but I
came to the conclusion it will never be completely
back to nromal again. Since what happened to you is
mostly similar, the solution might be similar too.
By the way, I forgot to ask in the email - when do you
think you'll have it back in stock?

Chane (and everybody) - Do you use the Oleg? If anyone
uses it and has some photos of it that would help
(either strap or harness). I couldn't find any photo
of the Oleg strap/harness on a person.

Thanks & best wishes,

Nitai
