Always improving, always streamlining – that’s how our best products are crafted, and our latest upgrades to the Stealth are no exception. As our most lightweight harness to date, the Stealth weighs in at just 900g (or 1,98lb) which is 37% lighter than the previous model. All this is due to the Stealth’s shape and padding, which is now built in 3D, giving us a minimal yet smooth grip all around. Freedom of movement is optimized by removing height from the sides, which also reduces the pressure points when riding. The Battlebelt is now thinner and half the thickness of what it used to be, saving on weight and minimizing friction. To round it off, the Stealth features our new Flexcover storage system with an integrated safety knife pocket. Please note: safety knife and handlepass loop are sold separately.

Infos & Characteristics It all started from an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of current harness technologies, regarding in particular the softshell (the classic flexible harness) and the hardshell (the rigid shell harness): The Softshell The softshell provides perfect adaptability to the user's body type and movements.But it becomes distorted under the pressure of the kite: The user's sides are compressed.It therefore has good adaptability, but little hold. The Hardshell The hardshell does not become distorted under the pressure of the kite: The user's sides are not compressed.But it has no adaptability to the user's body type and movements.It therefore has a very good hold, but little adaptability. By separating the functions of "effort management" and "comfort", we have created a harness that adapts perfectly to your body type and your movements, while offering unparalleled support.
B2 combines boardshorts style and function into a kite seat harness. The ergonomic leg straps, inspired by the technology of climbing harnesses, have been developed to enable freedom of movement without pressure points. ION's sleek Spectre Bar (incl. kite hook) and C30 buckles complete the ultra-lightweight harness. The detachable Downforce_Loop connects the leg straps with the Spreader Bar and prevents the hook from slipping up. The B2’s Spectre Bar is compatible with the Quicklock Hook. It includes the Kite_Knife Multitool 2.0.
