DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Feel and Comfort
The MANERA HALO 2.0 is a harness you'll forget you're wearing. It combines a flexible Adaptive Skin with a stabilizing Hardshell arc. The contact with your body is more direct thanks to an ultra-thin neoprene foam, letting you feel the kite's pull without any pressure points. The harness moves freely with your torso, giving you better freedom of movement when pumping or steering the kite.
Sizes and how to choose
Manera offers a wide range of sizes (XS to XL) and has added S+ and M+ sizes for riders with wider hips. To choose, measure your waist circumference and check your hip width on the provided size chart. If you're between two sizes, we recommend prioritizing the waist fit to keep the ARC well-positioned and avoid pressure points on your sides.
Construction and Technologies
The Adaptive Shell separates the flexible Adaptive Skin from the rigid Hardshell: one provides the connection to your body, while the other manages the mechanical forces. The components are assembled without glue or stitching, making it easy to replace worn parts. The ARC Spreaderbar is the next generation of attachment, designed to be stable and simple to handle. These features contribute to the product's durability and its easy-to-repair modular design.
On-water behaviour
On the water, you'll notice solid back support without any crushing sensation on your hips: the ARC effectively transfers the load from the kite's pull. The thin foam enhances feedback from the kite and foil, helping you fine-tune the depower and maintain a natural stance. The spreader bar system is easy to access and use, even when under tension, for a quick release if needed.
Who it's for / level
This harness is for riders looking for a great balance of support and mobility. Foilers, freeriders, and anyone who loves long sessions will find it exceptionally comfortable. We recommend it for intermediate to advanced riders who want to reduce fatigue without sacrificing feedback from their gear. Pay close attention to your body shape: consult the size chart to ensure a perfect fit and avoid pressure points.
Buying advice
If possible, try the harness on in-store and check the ARC's position with your arms raised. We recommend measuring your waist and hips, then using the size chart to see if you need an S+ or M+ size. Double-check leash compatibility, as some NAISH leashes do not fit the ring. Keep the product code handy (ZG-PGL-6177) for ordering replacement parts if needed.
