We acknowledge the presence of steadfast traditionalists who prioritize high performance and optimal fit in harnesses with a traditional webbing configuration. With this in mind, we are pleased to introduce the Elite Carbon Type 1, designed specifically in a webbing configuration. Featuring the 12K Carbon Step-2 hard-shell, fully enveloped in a neoprene liner and internal closed- cell Fusion foam, the Elite Carbon Type 1 offers the same meticulous attention to biometric data shaping and scientific fit as its Hyperlock counterpart, all within a webbing-based design. With the inclusion of the TRAD spreader, this harness sets new standards that exceed traditional expectations.
HYPERLOCK RACHET ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM

Introducing the groundbreaking Hyperlock ratchet spreader bar and closure system. This system incorporates the patented Hydrocinch technology, enabling instant, on-the-fly adjustments for unparalleled security and comfort, setting a new standard for slip-free harnesses.
By leveraging the Ride Engine Unity System as a foundational element, we gained a substantial advantage in both material science and integration. The evolution of ratchet technology, in its next iteration, underwent an extensive period of testing and refinement to guarantee reliability, seamless integration, and efficient functionality under diverse environmental and usage conditions.
This comprehensive testing process included:
- 1.5 years of rigorous field testing with Alpha and Beta testers across all conditions.
- Multiple iterations and prototype constructions to fine-tune the system.
- Intensive laboratory testing to ensure performance standards were met and exceeded.
