Spectre 2026 Kite Harness

Performance & Feel

Stiffness is the main point in the Spectre harness. The Carbon Fusion Plate makes the shell rigid, so it spreads the load across your back.  That's the feel you want when you're powered up or loading for a jump. The moulded Hydro_Cush liner grips so the harness doesn't ride up or rotate, including through rotations in the air.

Stiff doesn't have to mean hard on your back. The integrated Ergo_Pad was developed with orthopaedic medical experts. A channel down the middle spreads pressure away from the spine, and raised points either side move the load onto the surrounding muscles. An Internal Flex_Belt closes the harness snugly to your shape.

The carbon and moulded EVA don't soak up water so the Spectre stays light through a session.
