DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Comfort Over Support
ION designed the Rave as a counterpoint to rigid hard-shell harnesses. This lighter, more flexible softshell construction is for riders who want to move freely, not those seeking maximum back support. This is a deliberate choice for wingfoiling, where you spend a lot of time standing with your arms raised, and you're only hooked in for part of your session.
Integrated Bar and Foldable Hook
The bar is integrated into the harness. Its elongated side parts, the curved pads, hug the harness, which increases stability and prevents twisting. The thin hook is specifically designed for wingfoiling. It folds to the side when you're lying on your board, whether you're relaunching or paddling. This prevents pressure points or discomfort.
Padding and Buckles
Inside, ergonomic EVA padding won't absorb water, so your harness stays as light at the end of your session as it was at the start. The quick-release buckles streamline your routine: adjust the straps once, then open and close the harness without further adjustments.
Safety and Materials
The Leash D-Ring, located next to the bar, accommodates a leash; you can attach it to whichever side you prefer. ION lists the materials as 55% EVA, 30% polyamide, 10% polyester, and 5% neoprene. It comes in two sizes: S-M for a waist circumference of 70 to 90 cm, and L-XL for 90 to 110 cm, available in Black or Sage Grey.

FAQ - ION RAVE WING WAIST HARNESS
For wingfoilers who want a light, flexible harness that allows movement, rather than a hard-shell harness that supports the back. This harness is for cruising and long sessions hooked into the wind.
Measure your waist circumference at harness height, with your wetsuit on. The ION guide, higher on the page, gives S-M for 70 to 90 cm and L-XL for 90 to 110 cm. If you are between sizes, come try it on at the shop.
No, this is what ION focused on: the wing hook is thin and folds to the side when you are lying down, during a restart or when paddling.
Rinse it with fresh water after each session at sea, including buckles and the hook. Then, let it dry in the shade. Never dry it in the sun or on a radiator, and never store it wet in a bag.
