A refined classic with Adaptive Shell
Manera Exo Kite is the evolution of one of Manera’s most established harness models. Experience gained during the development of the Eclipse allowed the Adaptive Shell technology to be applied to the Exo, improving back support, reducing weight and increasing overall durability.
The result is a harness that delivers solid support while remaining flexible and comfortable in motion.
Adaptive Shell with progressive stiffness
The Adaptive Shell used in the Exo features variable stiffness across the shell. The central area is stiffer, providing reliable lumbar support and preventing the harness from folding or compressing the body under load.
Toward the edges, the shell becomes more flexible, allowing the harness to adapt naturally to body movement and rider position.
Single Foam for lightness and durability
The inner structure of the harness is built using Single Foam, molded as a single piece. This construction reduces the number of glued or stitched parts, significantly improving durability.
Single Foam absorbs very little water, keeping the harness light and comfortable even after long sessions on the water.
Down Hold System for stable positioning
To prevent the harness from riding up during riding, Manera developed the Down Hold System. This asymmetrical attachment system distributes forces downward, keeping the hook securely in place throughout the session.
Tuck Flaps for additional security
The Tuck Flaps support the Down Hold System by stiffening the connection between the harness and the spreader bar. Once the straps are tightened, the flaps are compressed and locked, further reducing upward movement.
Safety and leash attachment
The kite leash attachment point is positioned toward the front of the harness, allowing quick and direct access in emergency situations. The metal ring is mounted on the right side by default and can be moved to the left.
Note: NAISH leashes are not compatible with the size of the metal ring and may present a safety risk during release.
ARC spreader bar
The Exo Kite is equipped with the ARC spreader bar, designed to improve harness stability and load distribution for a more controlled and comfortable riding experience.
