Womens Nova Curv 10 Select 2022 Kite Harness

ION Nova Curv 10 Select Womens Kite Harness

The ION Nova Curv 10 Select Kite Harness puts support exactly where you need it without locking you down. The Term "Select" denotes this harness as the premium version of the Curv 10 range where the Select version is more lightweight and it contains more of the Hyper-Foam. At flex index 10 it's a medium-stiff hardshell, with a stiff 3D pre-shaped Curv_Spine that spreads the kite's pull across your back and a high outline that holds the support up where it counts. Flexible side panels keep you free to twist and throw radical moves, so you get the backing of a firm shell with room to move in it.

Performance & Feel

A hardshell harness is designed to carry the kite's pull through a rigid back panel and that is how the Nova Curv 10's 3D pre-shaped Curv_Spine works. It's moulded from ION's Curv thermal composite, which keeps the shell light while holding its shape when you load it up. At flex index 10 it sits in the medium to stiff bracket, firm enough to give you real support when you're powered, paired with a high outline that carries more of your back so the support sits up where you feel the load rather than low on your hips.

Where a stiff shell can feel like it boxes you in tightly, the flexible side panels keep the Nova Curv 10 open to movement, letting you rotate and commit to bigger, more radical moves. A strip of EVA on the inside grips against your suit to stop the harness riding up or spinning round mid-session. It's a harness for riders who want firm, targeted support and still want to move freely in it.
