DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A True Women's-Specific Fit
The Nova 2025 is built from the ground up for women, with a cut, shell shape, and support pattern contoured to the female form. Its higher outline provides excellent back support without riding up. Once you're on the water, you'll forget you're even wearing it-the hallmark of a perfect fit for long sessions.
The Perfect Balance of Flex and Support
The hybrid Curv construction blends a semi-rigid center with flexible sides. This gives you the stiffness needed to transfer the kite's pull directly, combined with the flexibility to twist and move freely-perfect for both freeride and freestyle.
Spinal Support and Protection
The Ergo Pad works with the 3D Plus_Spine technology to protect your spine by distributing load away from sensitive areas. If you're prone to lower back fatigue, you'll love the reduced pressure points and supportive feel that still allows full mobility.
Ready to Ride, Right Out of the Box
ION includes the Spectre Bar 2 with its hook and removable Spectre Flaps, plus the Kite_Knife 2.0 and a leash attachment point. You get a harness that's ready to go, complete with essential accessories for safety and adjustment.
Smart Materials, Easy Care
The HD_Foam resists water absorption, keeping the harness lightweight during your session and helping it dry quickly afterwards-perfect for travel. The Internal Flex_Belt provides a precise, secure fit, while the PVC buckles make adjustments a breeze.
Dialed-In Fit and Ergonomics
The Nova features a secure closure system and load distribution engineered to eliminate hot spots. The leash attachment point is located next to the spreader bar and can be positioned on either side to suit your preference.
