THE AIRBAG REVOLUTION

The top priority for a harness is the fit. Since people are built differently, we have devised the ultimate solution for individual adjustment: the integrated CONTOUR.AIRBAG. These inflatable air chambers are located in the lumbar area and can be perfectly adjusted to the contours of the rider's body. At the same time, they gently absorb peak loads and evenly distribute them on a larger area. Using the variable air pressure, the rider can vary the absorption between extremely soft and rock solid. Harnesses have never been more comfortable.

NORTH SAILS WUNDER.BAR

The culmination of comfort and safety! Thanks to the patented closure, the strap only needs to be adjusted once and never needs to be readjusted again. Getting in and out of the harness is now very fast thanks to the new "u-claw", which also prevents unintentional opening of the harness even under extreme conditions.

NEW FEATURES FOR CROSS AND HIGHBACK:

To achieve the ideal mixture of hard, direct power transmission and comfort, we opted for a combination of classic harness construction and the innovations of 3D moulded harnesses. This means that we process only partially pre-shaped patches to avoid making the harness too inflexible. These patches are covered with very soft Lycra to avoid skin abrasion when sailing without a wetsuit.
