“The Manera Halo Harness has an excellent combination of support and comfort. It’s a great alternative to the full-on, hard-shell harnesses that offer additional stiffness and reduced flex and compression but are also a less comfortable fit for certain body types and waist shapes.
With the Halo’s innovative and patented Adaptive shell technology, the Kitesurfing Magazine test team found the Halo fits nicely and is really very comfortable even when the body is moving in areas where traditional harnesses may be more restrictive and uncomfortable. The hard shell component of the Manera Halo is a rigid arc that prevents the harness from bending and compressing your sides, much like a hard shell harness.
Its function is to manage the mechanical pressure that the harness receives, while the Adaptive skin ensures that the harness adapts perfectly to your movements. This technology eliminates the need for large, thick foam for comfort, providing a more direct feeling, less bulky contact, and a lighter feel, even when wet. Manera Halo’s components are assembled without glue or seams, making each part easily replaceable. This reduces the carbon footprint and increases the life cycle, as you no longer have to throw away the entire product due to a worn or damaged part. The Manera Halo Harness is the ultimate solution for kiteboarders who want both comfort and support.”
