Selecting the right kiting harness is one of the most important decisions in kiteboarding. A properly fitted harness should provide support and comfort throughout your session, and never be a factor in having to end your session early
Your kiting harness needs to check the following boxes:
1. Comfort: all harnesses should fit snugly without being too loose or too tight. Excessive pressure on the lower ribs will cause discomfort and may force you to interrupt your session earlier;
2. Safety functions: a good harness features several straps that allow you to tighten it around your waist and prevent it from riding up – a well-hidden knife is always a mandatory tool;
3. Quality of materials: a model with soft cushioned neoprene, good stitches, a high-end stainless steel hook will never cause breathing problems;
4. The right size for your body: a correct fitting model can provide support and reduce muscle fatigue, allowing for a longer and safer kiting session;
