Hi V, thanks for your enquiry.
This is the answer to your question. The version we send you is the latest, that is V3 with CL autolock system (the black stuff the middle of the hook).
Kind regards.

Oggetto: Information for purchase of Spreader bar for Dakine Harness
Hello,
I am interested in your Dynabar Spreader. I have a Dakine Nitrous shorts harness 2007 model and would like to know if the Spreader bar fits that particular model.
These are the shorts:

www.dakine.com/kite/harnessesbars/spreader-bars/spreader-bar-pad/Before I order I just need to know that your bar will fit my shorts. If you know it fits my model please send a Paypal payment request for the 99.00 to my address and I will make an immediate payment.
Please also advise when the new model is scheduled for release. I heard through the kiteboarding forums that you are about to release a new improved bar - when / what are the new features?
Looking forward to your reply.
Regards,

Even a foreigner like myself

tends to forget that language barriers make communication a little less clear than desirable[}:)]. My questions weren't answered to the letter but at least they know what type of equipment I use so I guess they must think it's suitable.
So I invested anyway .. eheh
