Description
Harness the power for your traction activities
- waist style harness suitable for all land and water based
activities.
Mystic’s harness philosophy is clear.
Based on up to date analysis they set their goals on excellent
freedom of movement and harness construction. To ensure comfort’
is the fundament on which their Kinetic Technology is build.
Analyses of forces and movements play the main role in Mystic
design philosophy and the results are an essential contribution
to their designs. The information to
come up with progressive designs on Harness construction,
freedom of movement and load distribution and use of teamriders
to monitor the constant development in the sport, allows them
to be ahead of the game!
For 2008 Mystic Kiteboarding have used new
materials and techniques to ensure comfort independent to
the altering shape of the human body. For this Mystic Kiteboarding
have added ‘Flex’, ‘Support’ and ‘Protection’
into the new ‘Firestarter’ harness.
This is the most kite specific harness ever!
As used by Ruben Lenten!
Flex:
A harness has to move with the body rather then giving support
only in one position. With ‘Flex’ the harness
can follow the altering shape of the body during movements.
Good positioning of the harness can then be assured.
Support:
Good support starts with a good position of the harness. With
the adapting potential of the badge, forces on the harness
can be evenly distributed.
Protection:
The stiff plastic of the Firestarter badge is an excellent
protection against impact to the lower back.
- Human Kinetic Technology System
- analysis of kite forces , joint movements, load distribution,
harness constructions and materials has combined findings
into fully redeveloped radical harness designs.
- H-flex Force Frame: The
‘H’ in this force frame is formed by 3 Fiberglass
battens. 2 slightly angled vertical ones and 1 horizontal.
The vertical battens ensure a perfect harness shape and
thus good load distribution during hooked sessions. When
you ‘pop’ unhooked tricks the vertical battens
‘flex’ around the axis of the horizontal batten
adding comfort. The horizontal batten also keeps the backside
of the harness stiff when there’s load on your handle
pass leash. So when you crash you’ll be still ‘in’
your harness rather then squeezed ‘in between’
your harness. A thicker but more flexible plastic plate
forms the base of the force frame. All together, freedom
of movement, comfort and load distribution are set to a
higher level.
- System Down System"Waist"
- locks the spreaderbar down, giving you more control while
performing your manoeuvres. In high kite positions the system
activates a side-to-side force chain preventing the harness
from riding up.
- Kinetic Back Support KM3
- Combing the advantages of thermo moulding and neoprene,
the mould is fitted with bending lines to let the harness
adapt to the continuous altering of the human body.
- Seamless Neoprene Edge
- A Soft and padded neoprene edge to prevent rash on top
of the pelvic bones. While grabbing your board and boning
out your tricks, the ribs encounter the harnesses edge.
Therefore this edge should be designed with the human kinetic
technology principle and with the form of the rib case in
mind. By doing so we introduce the flex edge. The sides
of the harness are more flexible on points where the load
distribution allows it, as a result the flex edge gives
you more freedom of movement and painfull ribs are history.
- Twin Batten Load Distribution Frame
- Some parts of the body can handle pressure better than
other parts. The internal twinbatten load distribution frame
actively coordinates the distribution of the load around
these parts of the body.
- Integrated Handle Pass System
- Clean, quick and easy in use. the release system can be
activated on left or right side. As standard on the Firestarter
08 kite harnesses is a Handle Pass System with a PU tube
connected to a leash ring on 1 side. On the other side there’s
a new quick release mechanism connected to the spreaderbar.
With the handle pass leash connected around the PU tube
you can dump the kite in case of emergency by releasing
the Handle Pass System.
- Double Power Leashring - Gives
you the ability to split the force on the leashrings in
half while the ring itself secured to the strongest part
of the harness.
- Neoprene Belt - This waist
belt is secured on the frame on the inside of the harness.
The stretch in the belt makes your harness feel comfortable
from the moment you put it on. The Velcro on the battle
belt is positioned in such a way that it won’t damage
your suit, lycra or skin.
- Firestarter Badge - Revised
to provide more flexiblity on the edges and more stability
in the middle part.
- Kite Spreaderbar with protector
cover - The spreader protector comes with a neoprene
cover to store left over webbing.
- 3D Thermo Moulded Foam
- By using the process of thermo moulding we are able to
add characteristics we needed for comfort and looks.
- Quick release buckle on closure
Reviews
Great comfortable
and supportive - Kevin White!
A fantastic harness with the best support - it sticks to your
wetsuit and doesn't ride up - without a doubt the best harness
I have used.
Its comfortable, supportive and moulds to
back - great for all kitesurfing whether you are cruising,
jumping or kitelooping!
