The use of a 2D Velcro system means a wearer can adjust the fit over different layers, creating a versatile fit to suit both winter and summer sailing while an integrated spreader bar keeps the hook close to the body for instant reaction from on the wire.
This choice of Velcro also enables the harness to be removed quickly in an emergency or for a quick break between races – offering a wearer both comfort and safety.
On this note of comfort, the reinforced stretch neoprene crotch area gives a wearer unparalleled levels of ease while the fast-draining outer fabric, internal foam Kevlar reinforced seat combine to reduce water retention and wear.
The T2 Trapeze harness is currently available to be purchased at a price of $299.95 AUD.
