DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Support and Responsiveness from the Carbon Hard Shell
The Spectre's Carbon Hard Shell delivers solid back support and high rigidity. On the water, you'll feel your every input transfer directly to the kite, making power delivery and control easier during big air and aggressive maneuvers. This creates a much clearer connection between your body and the kite.
Ultra-Light to Reduce Fatigue
At just 1050 g in size M, the Spectre feels incredibly light while you ride. This reduces fatigue during long sessions and enhances your freedom of movement, all without sacrificing durability. It's ideal for saving your energy for the next trick.
Long-Lasting Comfort with Hydro Cush Foam
The Hydro Cush Foam liner is an ergonomic EVA foam that won't absorb water. This keeps the harness light for your entire session and ensures it stays comfortable, even after hours on the water. The integrated Ergo_Pad enhances the fit in the lumbar area, providing support that adapts to your body shape.
Precise Control with the Spectre Bar 2.0
The Spectre Bar 2.0 combines a slim profile with an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio and features an integrated aluminum hook. Out on the water, this translates to clean power transfer and precise control. It strikes a perfect balance between rigidity and low weight.
Who It's For
The Spectre is aimed at advanced riders and competitors looking for a high-performance, technically advanced harness. It excels in high-wind sessions, big air, and freestyle, where solid back support and instant responsiveness are essential.
Care and Maintenance
Always rinse your harness with fresh water after use to remove salt and sand. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve the materials. Regularly check the Spectre Bar and the aluminum hook to ensure optimal performance.
