It all started from an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of current harness technologies, regarding in particular the softshell (the classic flexible harness) and the hardshell (the rigid shell harness):
The Softshell
The softshell provides perfect adaptability to the user’s body type and movements.
But it becomes distorted under the pressure of the kite: The user’s sides are compressed.
It therefore has good adaptability, but little hold.
The Hardshell
The hardshell does not become distorted under the pressure of the kite: The user’s sides are not compressed.
But it has no adaptability to the user’s body type and movements.
It therefore has a very good hold, but little adaptability.
By separating the functions of ”effort management” and ”comfort”, we have created a harness that adapts perfectly to your body type and your movements, while offering unparalleled support.
Fitting
In order to optimize the customer experience, we have added two sizes: S+ and M+. These two new sizes are in fact the standard S and M harnesses equipped with longer spreaderbars.
Why?
Bodies may assume different shapes:
. A more rounded shape (someone with a big belly)
. A more oval shape (someone with wide hips).
For the same waist size, we therefore have two completely different body types. By incorporating longer spreaderbars, sizes S+ and M+ are more suitable for people with wider hips.
