ION VERTEX KITE HARNESS

• Sizes: XS / S / M / L / XL
• Type: Waist
• Model: 2018

The VERTEX is a favourite amongst ION's team riders and represents the perfect choice for more experienced kitesurfers. Offering outstanding support, it boasts a refined design that features the new 3D EVA foam shape (Archbar) as well as the new, super soft Hyperfoam, making it very lightweight. The ultimate wave-shredding companion ensures more freedom of movement than ever before due to its slimmer outline and extended soft foam edge.

KEY FEATURES

• High-Performance Pre-Shape: Inside 3D EVA Shape lock into your waist and prevent friction. Combined with the comfy Hyper Foam for ergonomic fit without sucking water.
• 3D Zone Shape: Partially 3D pre-shaped harness body for minimal movement and perfect fit.

C-BAR

With the C-bar, ION introduces a new technology for spreaderbars. Two features mark the difference: the new tension lever system tightens the harness without having to change the buckle settings, therefore guaranteeing a perfect fit. This new system provides a symmetric force spread while riding and is therefore very comfortable. The C-Bar is made out of fiber re-inforced injection material instead metal, which makes it ultra lightweight.

PROTECTION PAD

Metal spreader bar with a new webbing connection setup, spreading the load even better and preventing the spreader bar from twisting horizontally.

WRAP_TEC

X_SPINE

Thermo moulded X-shape EVA protection that soaks up pressure, protecting the back without stiffening the harness.

EXTENDED SOFT_EDGE

A new, extended soft edge that surrounds the entire harness, bending sideways at the hips and ribs for a more forgiving feel, enhanced by a special foam padding.

SPLIT_EDGE

The divided buckle plate allowing the harness to stay close to your body and to transfer all forces equally.
