The adjustment on harnesses uses friction to hold them, I cannot imagine a situation where I would want to LUBRICATE a harness...

Hi, thanks, sorry, I'm aware friction is used to lock the belts, perhaps, lubricate is the wrong word to use, just wanted them to adjust a bit
easier, they certainly lock tight when pulled upon,

Wear less clothes on the way to work,
Its not as if your going to be cold, as its not been below s 12% at 0600 here, in sussex for a week
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

Clean the harnesses with a little soapy water

Depending on the adjusters, on most road type harnesses, the centre bar of the adjusters is usually floating. Lubricate the interface of the ends of
the centre bar where it meets the housing. I was struggling to adjust my harnesses a week or so ago and found this to be the issue as the adjuster was
binding in the locked position and pinching the belt. As you pull the buckle up to release, the centre bar should float into the centre position and
release the lock on the belt. When you tighten the belt, it pulls the belt wrap into the side of the housing, locking it.
Lubricating the bar to housing also improves its ability to grip the belt when tight.
Don't go mad with goopy oil or graphite powder as it will still need to sit on your clothes. I used some dry PTFE type stuff.
I've used the coarse webbing Luke harnesses in the past though and they were a pig to adjust whatever you did with them so YMMMV.
