Apex Kite Waist

X_Spine

The moulded X-Shape at the back of the harness guarantees a maximum amount of protection, while giving the freedom to land all kinds of tricks.

Hip Protection

The double layer foam padding protects your bones and all other vulnerable parts in this area.Especially if the body is bend sideways.

Cross Link Webbing

Normally the webbing belt ends somewhere behind the buckle. We found that a continous webbing belt along the back of the harness spreads the load much better. This guarantees better force distribution around the back of the harness.

Torsion Free Construction

The inner part of the harness is made up of different segments to ensure, that the harness fits perfecty along the backbone. Less pain - More fun.

Dual Density Foam

The foam, used for the inside constructinon has two desities. The soft foam was used in the center part of the seat harness, where good fit is essential. The solid foam applies where protection comes first.

3D Zone Shape

Segmented zone shape in all directions supports your backbone and reduces the chance that the harness will slip upwards when you hit the water.

Internal Flex Belt

Flexible waist belt with rubber endings to ensure tight and comfortable fit.

Handle Pass Leash Slider

A small metal ring on a rubber coated hande lets the leash slide along the back of the harness, making hanlde pass tricks easier.

Push Button Spreader Bar

The push button supports the quick assembly of the harness. There is no need to mount any velcro tapes through buckels. Just hook the metal ring into the spreader, adjust the webbing and off you go.

Belt Garage

The belt garage keeps any end of the webbing band from flying aroung.

Protection Pad

This is a solid neoprene padded plate that keeps away the harness hook from your body. Especially when the spreader bar moves up quickly.

Bungee Belt

Neoprene padded flexible leg straps, which adjsust themselves onto the shape of the riders legs. The seat harness will fit perfecly and it won‘t tension your legs too much.

The overall shape in the horizontal direction supports perfect fit along the backbone while providing more than enough freedom to land your moves.

Flex Handle

Flexible handle at the back of the harness, so your buddy can grab you while another launches your kite.

Bungee Butt

The flexible area at the lower back of the seatharness guarantees perfect adjustment onto the lower back of the body.

Bar Keeper Belt

The strap construction prevents the spreader bar from rushing upwards in overpowered situations. Two
webbing straps run from the bungee belt to the spreader bar to make sure that the kiter doesn‘t get hurt.

Anti ride up

Horizontal structure in the inner foampart provides the harness to ride up under tension.

Contour Shape

Polycarbonat (PC), an optic polymer with high shock resistance (drop ball tested).

UV Protection

Absorption of solar radiation as far as 400 μm wave-length > highest protection.

Protection Index

Category 3 strong sunlight – allows a luminous transmittance of 8%-18% The highest shading allowed for conventional use – optimal for the active usage at the beach and sea. Let in only the “right” light.

Hydrophobic Lenses

Surface coating – water drips off without any traces. The coating makes it much easier to get and keep your lenses clean.

Disc

Base 8 (spherical), perfect protection through wraparound shape, low light waves invasion, descentered lens, eliminating disortion, strainless processed, highest quality and optically correct, shades ensure high contrast power, allowing true clarity in all areas.

Polarisation

Polarized lenses act like slatted window blinds—when light hits a reflective surface it bounces and scatters, reducing contrast and clarity. The “blinds” in our Trident lenses block scattered light rays but let in the “right” light, allowing you to see clearly and prevent eye fatigue. The use of an integrated polarizing filter layered within the injected lens, allows incredible clarity even in the harshest conditions.

Surface Hardening

Discs with hard cover protection and scratch resistance coating.
