DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Balanced Lumbar Support
The Synth V5 RS's medium-flex Curv® shell distributes the load evenly for consistent lumbar support. You feel less localized pressure, which reduces fatigue and lets you stay on the water longer without discomfort.
Simple and Effective Adjustment
The Aerobar RS with its ratchet system allows for easy one-handed adjustments. You can quickly fine-tune the fit between runs, making setup and tweaks on the spot much more comfortable.
Versatility with an Interchangeable System
The Synth V5 RS features an interchangeable connection system to adapt the harness to your riding style. For kitesurfing or windsurfing, you can configure the connection for a secure and customized fit.
Comfort and Durability
The reinforced nylon body and stainless steel components offer a combination of light weight and strength. The EVA pad improves comfort when loaded, which is especially useful during long or technical sessions.
Who is it for and why?
We recommend this harness for intermediate to advanced riders looking for a good balance between support and freedom of movement. It's particularly suited for kitesurfers and windsurfers seeking a durable and easily adjustable product.
Usage Tips
Adjust the Aerobar RS before heading out on the water to avoid frequent tweaks. Regularly check the stainless steel components and rinse the harness with fresh water after use in salt water to preserve the materials.
