ION Apex Waist Kite Harness - Hybrid Hardshell

The ION Apex is built for riders who demand top-tier support and control in all conditions. Known for its exceptional back support and ergonomic fit, the Apex combines reliable structure with freedom of movement, making it the ideal choice for high-performance riding.

Now equipped with the brand-new Spectre Bar 2, the Apex harness features an ultra-strong, lightweight hook plate that ensures optimal load distribution and precise control, enhancing your connection to the kite like never before. With a medium-stiff flex, the Apex provides stability and control without sacrificing comfort.

The integrated Ergo Pad helps protect your spine by redirecting pressure away from sensitive areas, giving you the support you need for longer sessions without compromising on flexibility. The ergonomic 3D Plus Spine design further supports your back while allowing freedom of movement, so you can push your limits without discomfort. All of these make the Apex a trusted choice of Reno Romeu and many other athletes.
