Features: 12K Carbon Armor Shell: Built with 12K carbon fiber, the Armor Shell of our Elite Carbon is light, strong, and ergonomically contoured—as well as our stiffest. The Armor Shell also allows the load to be distributed seamlessly from the spreader bar to the shell, preventing the harness from buckling or pinching. Unity Spreader Bar Compatible: Ride Engine "set it and forget it" spreader bar system creates a solid, stable connection, the Unity Spreader Bar has an ingenious design utilizing custom-molded ladder-lock straps, thereby eliminating the use of traditional webbing and providing an unrivaled locked-in fit. Lumbar Lock Data-Derived Technology: A scientifically supported data shape from more than 1000 custom molds, the Lumbar Lock conforms and cradles your lumbar, back, and sides to lock the harness securely in place. This enhanced ergonomics ensures that you get the maximum support out of your harness—no more harness sliding side-to-side or riding up. Low-profile Outline Shaping: Low-profile framework contributes to a perfect fit and maximum mobility while keeping the harness locked in place and eliminating pressure points. Handle-Pass, Front-Mounted Leash Attachments: For freestyle riders, the Elite Carbon comes with a handle-pass-leash mount around the back (which is easy to remove for windsurfing). It also has two attachment points in the front for use when a short leash is utilized. Fashion Memory Foam: Super soft, ergonomic foam conforms to the shape of your torso for ultimate comfort and hold. Full Neoprene Comfort Wrap: Minimal-seam construction of a full-neoprene wrap conforms to the body, creating a rash-free interface. Internal Waist-Belt Strap: An internal, single-closure waist-belt strap provides a secure fit and easy entry and adjustment. Includes easy access hook-knife pocket. Unity Direct Connection: Comprised of two revolutionary pieces, the Unity Spreader Bar and the Unity Ladder-Lock Straps. The Unity Connection System is available exclusively on our Elite Carbon, Saber, and Lyte Direct harnesses. Gone is the ever-loosening harness webbing, replaced by unique Unity Ladder-Lock Straps that completely eliminate spreader bar rise. Gone are mid-session fluctuations in tightness and fit, replaced by the absolute locked-in feel of our ambidextrous Tension- Lock latch closure. Gone is the critical yet overlooked connection between your body, the harness, and kite or sail, replaced by a next-level spreader bar-system.
