DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Back Support and Kite Connection
The 3D-molded Curv Hard Shell provides ergonomic lower back support while allowing plenty of flex for dynamic movements. You'll feel a direct transfer of power to the kite, helping you stay in control without the harness ever feeling restrictive.
Lightweight for All-Day Comfort
The combination of a lightweight carbon plate and Hydro_Cush foam drastically cuts the harness's weight. This gives you a "barely there" feel that reduces fatigue on long sessions, all while maintaining solid support.
Dry Comfort That Lasts
The 3D-molded EVA inner pad won't absorb water, keeping the harness dry and its weight constant, even after hours on the water. The support stays firm and comfortable, without any annoying pressure points.
Spectre Bar 2 for Pinpoint Control
The Spectre Bar 2, complete with an aluminum hook, offers impressive stiffness and a slim profile for excellent load distribution. You'll feel the difference during power-ups and committed moves: the harness efficiently transfers power without getting in your way.
Rider-Focused Details
The Riot Light integrates useful features like the C_30 Buckle system, an internal support belt, a multi-tool kiteknife, and a D-ring for your leash. These practical touches improve safety and make the harness easy to use every session.
Who is this harness for?
We recommend this model for intermediate to advanced riders looking for a super lightweight waist harness with precise back support and high-performance features. If you want to reduce fatigue while keeping a solid connection to your kite, this is the harness for you.
