Find a dealerFrom freeride cruising to high speed racing situations the Connect Seat V3 harness perfectly transfers loads from the kite into the rider’s legs without restricting movement. What makes this harness truly outstanding is that you don’t feel pressure points on your body.
You’ll feel no rubbing and no bruising, just pure pleasure and comfort thanks to the sleek lines and precisely sculpted shape with the ultra soft foam padding and neoprene layers.
Like all our accessories and hardware, the Connect Seat V3 is produced with care and expertise in our own factory.
The option to attach the leg straps directly to the spreader bar can provide a further locked-in ride. For a looser feeling you can leave the spreader bar and leg straps disconnected. In either set up the leg straps prevent the harness from sliding up, left or right, and keep the centre of gravity on your body low.
Entry-level riders often fly the kite at the zenith, or at least higher in the sky than more experienced riders. Using a seat harness with the kite often in a high position feels more comfortable, as the harness will remain in position all day long without sliding up above your waist.
Essentially, you’ll feel in control of the kite’s power more quickly. As most of the power is locked-in lower down your body, this leaves your upper body to focus more on steering the kite and your direction of travel.
For freeriders who prefer the feeling and extra support of a seat harness, the Connect Seat V3 makes cruising and jumping very easy and enjoyable. Ride hard, in comfort!
