Harness ION

At Kitemana you can choose from many different ION harnesses. To help you with your choice, we have some more information about the harnesses below. The first choice you should make is whether you want to kite with a hip or seat harness. Once you have made this choice, it is important to know whether you want a hard or soft harness. A high or low outline can also influence your choice. This is mainly a personal preference, because a trapeze fits everyone differently.

Please note: because everyone's fit is determined by the back length and waist circumference, ION has developed normal and long sizes (please look carefully at the size chart), so that everyone can find their perfect size. You also have to take into account which type of kite style you are going to ride. You can always visit us in the store to try on a trapeze or ask for more information.

ION Team Series Harness
With a flex index of 18 out of 20, the ION Team Series is the stiffest harness in the ION range. The Team Series is the favorite of every big air team rider thanks to the good support. The pad that goes into the back concave is interchangeable to get a perfectly fitting harness. You can choose between a thicker and a slightly thinner one. On the inside is Hyper Foam that does not absorb water and shapes to the contours of your body. If you are looking for a stiff harness made from the best materials, the ION Team Series is perfect for you.

ION Riot Curv Harness
The ION Riot Curv is slightly more flexible than the Team Series and, with a flex index of 14 on a scale of 20, falls under medium stiff harnesses. Compared to the Team Series, the Riot Curv has slightly more freedom of movement, making it easier to maneuver. The ION Riot Curv uses the same materials and technical features as the Team Series. If you are looking for a harness for all disciplines, the Riot Curv is perfect for you!

ION Apex Harness
The Apex harness is ION's longest running harness. With premium features such as an ultra-lightweight HD Foam and a Specter bar, this is the perfect harness for riders who are looking for flexibility combined with sufficient support. Thanks to the high outline of the Apex harness, you get a lot of support in your back. The pressure of the kite is distributed very well, so that you do not suffer from back pain. The harness has flexible sides, so you have a lot of freedom of movement.

ION Rival Harness
With a flex index of 4 on a scale of 20, the ION Rival is the most flexible harness in the ION range. The harness has a lightweight construction and is covered on the inside with HD Foam that does not absorb water and therefore remains lightweight during your session. Beginner or advanced, the Rival is perfect for every level thanks to its freedom of movement.

ION Axxis Harness
With a flex index of 4, the ION Axxis is one of ION's most flexible harnesses, just like the Rival. The harness gives a lot of freedom of movement due to the low outline and the flexible materials used. The special thing about this hip harness is that you can add a seat extension to turn it into a seat trapeze. The harness can then no longer slide upwards, which a hip harness often does.

ION Sol Curv Harness
With a flex index of 11 on a scale of 20, the ION Sol Curv is the stiffest harness in the ION women's range. The Sol Curv is the favorite of ION team riders and is perfect for all disciplines. Thanks to the Curv hard shell construction, the power of the kite is gradually distributed over the entire back, so that you can stand on the water for a long time without experiencing back problems. The harness uses 3D fit technology, which ensures that the harness fits perfectly to the body. By using the best features and materials, this is the harness for when you don't want to save money and are looking for the best of the best.

ION Nova Harness
With a flex index of 8 out of 20, the ION Nova harness is perfect for all-round riders. The harness is designed for the female body and fits perfectly. Features such as the interchangeable Ergo Pad, HD Foam inner lining and the internal flex zone are guaranteed to provide the best possible combination of support and flexibility. Would you prefer a little more support? Then choose the Sol.

ION B2 zit Harness
The ION B2 is our best-selling seat harness from ION. The unique thing about the B2 is that the harness combines board shorts with a seat harness, giving you not only the looks, but also the comfort of a seat harness. The straps at the legs are inspired by the technology of climbing harnesses, giving you freedom of movement and a lot of support without pressure points. In combination with the Specter bar, this lightweight seat harness is a gem for the novice and advanced rider.

ION Radar zit Harness
The ION Radar is a seat harness with Curv construction, which ensures that the power of the kite is better distributed over the back. The leg straps, like those of the ION B2, are inspired by the technology used in climbing harnesses. If you are looking for a harness with a lot of support, the ION Rader harness is perfect for you.

ION Vega Zit Harness
The ION Vega is a 3D designed seat harness and is made of the strongest materials. The straps are designed based on climbing harnesses, making them very comfortable around the legs. In combination with the included C Bar, this is the harness for maximum support. Because the pressure of the kite does not apply to the back with a seat harness, you can stand on the water for a nice long time.

There is a reason why ION harnesses are so nice. In recent years, ION has become a real pioneer when it comes to materials and features. Together with team riders, ION tries to improve the harnesses every year. Some features and materials are briefly mentioned below, so that you get a better idea of the technologies that ION uses.

Ergo Pad
The Ergo Pad is an interchangeable pad that fits exactly into the arch of your back on the inside of the trapeze. The harness comes in two different sizes - one thick and one thin. Try both pads and see for yourself which one is most comfortable.

3D fit technologie
All ION harnesses are designed in 3D, so the harness fits perfectly on every body type. The fit is determined, among other things, by the back length and the waist circumference. That is why ION works with normal and long sizes.

Cuv constructie
The Curv construction is used, among other things, in the Riot Curv. The construction distributes the power of the kite evenly over the shell of the harness for the best possible support.

Hyper Foam
The Hyper Foam is a super elastic material that ensures a perfect fit. This material cannot absorb water, so your trapeze remains super light.

Internal Flex Belt
The Internal Flex Belt gives the ION harness a perfect fit. The belt adapts to the shape of your body and ensures that the trapeze fits perfectly.

Spectre Bar
Almost all ION harnesses are supplied with a Specter Spreader Bar. This Spreader Bar distributes the power of the kite over the entire spreader bar and, thanks to the proven Curv-Flaps, prevents the spreader bar from sliding up or tilting up.
