The weight of equipment often serves as a key performance indicator in dynamic water sports. This concept serves as the driving force behind the design of the Lyte harness, renowned as one of the lightest options available, whether dry or wet. By leveraging advancements in material science, the Lyte utilizes materials that offer unparalleled support, comfort, and performance without water absorption during use. Notable features include Curv® composite hard-shell technology, the Cell-Lock thermoformed body interface, and the innovative Hyperlock spreader bar system – all packaged in a sub-1KG configuration for a size medium. It’s the ideal choice for riders conscious of shaving grams.
