The new harness range has a huge varitey of options to choose from. The harness compass is designed to give some advice to find what fits best for your riding.

SPORTS

Race
––– Important for race:
. Good back-support for riding in overpowered conditions
. Specific load spread for riding steep upwind angles
. Low spreader bar position for load transition close to the
. body’s centre of gravity

FREERIDE
––– Important for freeride:
. Well-balanced load distribution for relaxed cruising
. Good flexibility sideways for easy jibing/tacking
. Maximum comfort for long distance tacks
. Medium to low spreader bar position

FREESTYLE
––– Important for freestyle:
. Maximum flexibility sidewards and backwards
. Soft outline edges to avoid body pain in extreme maneuvers
. Low weight for higher jumps
. High spreader bar position for hook in / hook out maneuvers

WAVE
––– Important for wave:
. Flexibility for maneuvers in the waves
. Protection when you get in the “washing maschine”
. Good load spread for rapid on / off powered conditions
. Medium to high spreader bar position

TWIST
. General ability of the harness to rotate easily around the torso
. Surface inside of the harness provides little friction to
   allow lateral sliding and twisting
. Provides comfort and freedom to rotate the body against
   the direction of load
. Less restriction when riding fakie in maneuvers or backside in
   waves

FUNCTION UND WEARING CHARACTERISTICS

FRICTION
. General ability of the harness to stick in a set waist
   position by itself
. A unique surface structure and foam segments reduce
   slipping on the body
. Avoids effectively sliding upwards of the harness in the
   direction of load
. Helps to reduce pressure on the chest by keeping the
   harness low to avoid choking

SUPPORT
. High back support
. Torso muscles need to work less
. Strong harness structure for load distribution
. For relaxed use in powered up conditions

FLEX
. Maximum priority on freedom of body movement
. High flexibility and general softness
. For use in mostly maneuver / freestyle conditions
. Maximum comfort and ease
