2023 Ride Engine LYTE WEBBING CONNECTION V2 Waist Harness

A Ride Engine harness can't just be lightweight—it also has to excel in terms of comfort and no-compromise performance. We accomplished this by utilizing the same data-driven design of our Elite Carbon and combing that with the latest in material technology. The ingenious Curv® composite material we use is not merely lightweight—its high tensile strength allows the shell to retain Ride Engine's scientifically designed Lumbar Lock shape, which has become renowned for eliminating harness rise and twisting on the body. Equipped with Direct Connection or Webbing Connection, the Lyte V2 integrates directly with our Unity Spreader Bar, which completely eliminates spreader bar slip and twist. Additionally making the Lyte the ultimate lightweight travel harness is our Cell-Lock Foam: thermoformed closed-cell foam that's Lycra laminated to virtually eliminate all water absorption and keep the harness light no matter how long your session.

LIGHTWEIGHT CURV® HARD SHELL

A next-generation composite material that provides a rigid, durable and strong hard-shell harness at an unrivalled weight (less than 1kg for a size Medium).

UNITY SPREADER BAR COMPATIBLE

Our "set it and forget it" spreader bar system creates a solid, stable connection, the Unity Spreader Bar has an ingenious design utilizing custom-molded ladder-lock straps, thereby eliminating the use of traditional webbing and providing an unrivaled locked-in fit.

LUMBAR LOCK DATA-DERIVED TECHNOLOGY

WA scientifically supported data shape from more than 1000 custom molds, the Lumbar Lock conforms and cradles your lumbar, back and sides to lock the harness securely in place. This enhanced ergonomics ensure that you get the maximum support out of your harness—no more harness sliding side-to-side or riding up.

LOW-PROFILE OUTLINE SHAPING

Low-profile framework contributes to a perfect fit and maximum mobility while keeping the harness locked in place and eliminating pressure points.

HANDLE-PASS, FRONT-ATTACHMENTS

For freestyle riders, the Elite Carbon comes with a handle-pass-leash mount around the back (which is easy to remove for windsurfing). It also has two attachment points in the front for use when a short leash is utilized.

CELL-LOCK FOAM BODY INTERFACE

Lycra laminate on the close-cell foam interior minimizes water penetration, keeping the harness light when in use and providing you all-day comfort in trunks or a wetsuit.

INTERNAL WAIST-BELT STRAP

An internal, single-closure waist-belt strap provides a secure fit and easy entry and adjustment. Includes easy access hook-knife pocket.
