Harness for NW

I'm looking for a decent harness recommendation. Yogi pulls like a train when approaching his search in Nosework, and the trainer suggested a harness may better balance his weight and make it easier for me to handle him, as well as not put pressure on his neck. He is not a puller otherwise, and corrective collars/no pull harnesses cannot be used during Nosework, basically nothing adversive at all that might hinder drive.

I'm not looking to spend a ton as for a tracking harness, he's not going to use this one very much, searches are extremely brief. But I also don't want cheap nylon, either.

I picked up a real nice harness for 40 bucks from a site specializing in police dog training gear, check some of those out when you get a chance or even local schutzhund clubs to ask where they get their stuff.

I really like that style, especially with the handle... I was just at a NW Elements Trial and saw some kind of like that that I really liked. I was so caught up in everything going on, I didn't ask where they were purchased. And $40 isn't bad at all, I just don't want to spend $75 plus.
