Want a harness that you'll forget you're wearing, but still gives you solid lower back support? The AK ETHER is all about a lightweight, super-slim profile. It's flexible enough to pack down small, but locks in with a rigid feel when you put it on. You get targeted lumbar support without any bulky, unnecessary padding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Comfort and Ride Feel
You'll immediately feel how this harness is designed to be unobtrusive. Its low volume and lack of water-absorbing padding give it a lightweight feel session after session, while still delivering firm lumbar support. The combination of a slim profile and the 3D load plate provides direct feedback, letting you move freely while keeping a stable connection to your kite.
Sizes and Compatibility
The AK ETHER comes in sizes M and L. It's designed to be compatible with existing buckle systems, working with AK, ION, and Mystik buckles via its two adjustment straps. We recommend fine-tuning the straps to dial in the perfect lumbar support point for your build.
Construction and Technologies
The design strips away all non-essential padding and reinforcement to cut down on weight. The ergonomic 3D-molded load plate works with Fly-Line technology to distribute the kite's pull evenly over a wide area. The result is a minimalist harness that can handle serious power, yet stays thin and easy to pack.
Use and Adjustments
Two adjustment straps let you dial in the load plate's position and the fit around your torso. The harness is designed for compatibility with various buckles; just install your preferred AK, ION, or Mystik system. With so little material, the feedback from your kite is direct and your control stays precise.
