Manera EXO 2023 Harness

It is difficult to improve a harness like the EXO, but the development of the ECLIPSE has taught us a lot and we have used this experience to redesign our star harness. We applied Adaptive Shell Technology to the EXO model to provide better support, reduced weight and increased durability.

Thanks to a stiffer center area, the EXO 2.0 perfectly supports the back. However, it allows greater freedom of movement thanks to its different levels of rigidity, especially its flexible outline.

The soft part of the EXO 2.0 is built in one “Single foam”. The single foam doesn’t absorb any water, so the harness stays light and comfy once in use.

Key Features:

• Adaptive shell
  The Adaptive Shell stiffness shades from hard in the center area to softer on the edges. The stiff center-belt prevents the harness from folding and compressing your body while preserving a good lumbar support.
• Single foam
  The EXO 2.0 uses a single thermoform mould to make a one-piece foam backing. It absorbs far less water and is much lighter than the multiple foam layups used in some harnesses.
• Tuck flap
  By stiffening the connection between the harness and the buckle, they prevent it from riding up.

Technologies:

• Adaptive shell
  The Adaptive Shell stiffness shades from hard in the center area to softer on the edges. The stiff center-belt prevents the harness from folding and compressing your body while preserving a good lumbar support. The softer outline preserves intuitive mobility and adaptability. It results in a shell that is forgiving where you need flex and stiff where you want support.
• Single foam
  Comfort is paramount in any harness; the UNION uses a single injection mould to make a one-piece foam backing. This makes it exceedingly durable, as there are less parts to be glued or stitched together. It absorbs far less water and is much lighter than the multiple foam layups used in some harnesses.
• Down hold system
  Because there’s nothing worse than a harness that rides up during your sessions, we developed the DOWN
  HOLD SYSTEM, an asymmetrical attachment that distributes the forces downward. Secured in its original position, the hook does not ride back up.
• Tuck flap
  The TUCK FLAPS further assist the DOWN HOLD SYSTEM using the flaps positioned on the ends of the spreader bar and inserted into the harness. Once the straps are tightened, they are compressed and locked. By stiffening the connection between the harness and the buckle, they prevent it from riding up.
• Leash attachement
  Our kite leash attachment point is located towards the front of the harness, allowing easy and direct access for release in case of an emergency. Attached to the straps on the right-hand side by default, the metal ring can easily be moved to the left straps. W A R N I N G : NAISH leashes are not adapted to the size of our metal ring, and it could present a safety hazard during release. We are currently working on a new version of the ring.
• Arc spreaderbar
  The ARC is a new generation spreaderbar developed to offer a more precise, comfortable navigation experience, with a harness that is better held in place.
