Got That New Car Smell...

Handsome looking black harness and black firm cock. Dangerous looking but disappointing quality and dubious durability. Unisex. Rubber dildo would be perfect if it was silicone. Nice firm, somewhat flexible cock. Made with pegging in mind.

Spartacus Leathers, who have been crafting leather harnesses since 1987 (but haven't perfected this one) and durable masculine gear for sex and bondage bring us the Dual Strap Harness Set.

The Dual Strap comes in a requisite clamshell packaging with a picture of a woman in a black leather bra wearing a thin black leather neck choker and the Dual Strap Harness. Despite her cherry lips and dual set of false lashes and glue on red finger nails she is looking at the camera with a "don't fuck with me" expression. Isn't that exactly how you want to feel sporting a black leather harness and a black rubber dick?

The harness consists of a 5 and one half inch long by 3 and a half inch wide triangular oil tan leather pad. Oil tan leather is a slightly soft - but more stiff than garment leather and less stiff than latigo leather - slightly flexible leather. Whips are often made of this leather. It is not dyed all the way through like latigo leather. The leather pad has no O ring, and the opening for the dildo is an inch and a half. There are snaps on the rear of the harness's pad that are difficult to snap shut, but once they are snapped, the dildo - less than an inch and a half in diameter-is not going to shift. The dildo must have a rather thin base for the back panel to snap shut.

The harness pad covers the mons pubis and the hole for the dildo rides higher than many harnesses. It is fixed to 2 leg straps which are very soft and very thin, very soft leather. The leg straps are only a half inch thick (very thin by most standards) and has very tiny thin D-rings on each side to adjust for a comfortable, non-chafing fit.

The waist or hip straps fit a person up to 40 inches around. It's soft, thin garment leather with larger but still thin D-rings on either side of the hip or waist for adjustment. The leather on the back side of the straps sheds small pieces and is unfinished. It does not bleed dye into the skin, which is a great thing. This harness can be washed with antibacterial soap and patted dry, or leather cleaner.

The dildo is made of rubber, which tends to be very porous, although lubricants that are silicone or water based can be used. It is nicely detailed, it is absolutely straight as a poker, and it's firm but still flexible. It's six inches long, with a thin base and less than an inch and a half in diameter. Please use a condom with this dildo. Rubber can not be heat sterilized like silicone, but it can be washed in antibacterial soap. It is subject to degradation and drying over time, especially in dry heat.

Store this harness away from dry heat sources, in an unsealed bag (to prevent mold). Leather requires a little air to stay in good shape.
Experience
I found the pad of the harness very uncomfortable. It cut down on sensation - on my end. The leather did not bleed after washing , and the reverse of the waist band does shed. I prefer buckles at the waist to D-rings, and although I do like D-rings on my leg straps, these are the slimmest leg straps and the tiniest D-rings ever. I did have to re-adjust the rings, although it was easy to do. I kept wondering if the leg straps would snap. It also rubbed my crotch raw.

I did love the new tire smell of the dildo, and the kit of a leather harness and rubber dildo had that "new car smell", but it just did not ride well for long distances. A spin around the block (or the back) and it was ok.

The dildo is not a good G-spotter, but since it is not really wide, and is quite firm, it made a very good pegger. In fact, that is what I would recommend it for. It's a nice, comfortable insertion, and you can use silicone lubes. I still recommend a condom on this rubber dildo, condoms are always a good idea, as is plenty of lube. Lube does not stain the harness.
The shape of this harness makes it possible to be worn by men or women, albeit the stiff leather front makes it less than comfortable.
Follow-up commentary
It is an attractive harness set, but the leg straps stretched easily during vigorous activity and needed constant readjustment. Its a question of proportion. The D rings are very thin and flimsy, the leather straps are as narrow and thin as the line that connects a landline to a phone. Then you have a less flexible front piece and a more heavy dildo. An analogy would be those guys in the gym who are always working their arms, just their arms. Never squatting, not working their backs. Not only are they (not growing) out of proprotion, rediculous looking, they are also more prone to injury from lack of balance. A good design for a harness takes all materials and proportions into consideration for sucessful functionality. The Dual Strap Harness Set needs to go back to the drawing board and try again.

    What do you mean by "unisex"?
  • Contributor: Juliettia
    @Mr. Sauce It means it can be used/worn by men or women.

    Nice review, Thank you!

    Too bad it was such a disappointment. But if anyone knows good harnesses, you sure do.

    "new car smell" Love the comment! To this day I get turned on by the smell!

    A very well detailed, in depth description both technically and personally. I'd also like to comment on the extreme accuracy of your review. I experienced similar issues with my set, though it seems I may have had a slightly more difficult time. Unfortunately this was my first dildo & harness, and I was left severely unsatisfied. Here's hoping my next toy is of a better quality and construction. Heart
