It all started from an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of current harness technologies, regarding in particular the softshell (the classic flexible harness) and the hardshell (the rigid shell harness):
The Softshell
The softshell provides perfect adaptability to the user's body type and movements.
But it becomes distorted under the pressure of the kite: The user's sides are compressed.
It therefore has good adaptability, but little hold.
The Hardshell
The hardshell does not become distorted under the pressure of the kite: The user's sides are not compressed.
But it has no adaptability to the user's body type and movements.
It therefore has a very good hold, but little adaptability.
By separating the functions of "effort management" and "comfort", we have created a harness that adapts perfectly to your body type and your movements, while offering unparalleled support.

HALO
Everything without anything
Our Research and Development approach is to create the best possible product, so we have sought to use the advantages of the two current technologies while eliminating their faults. This is how the “Adaptive Shell” was born.
This patented technology is made up of two main parts: The Adaptive skin and the Hardshell.
By separating the functions of "effort management" and "comfort", we have created a harness that adapts perfectly to your body type and your movements, while offering unparalleled support.
This patented technology is made up of two main parts: The Adaptive skin and the Hardshell.
The Adaptive skin is a support skin made of a flexible material providing the user maximum adaptability and freedom of movement.
It is directly in contact with the body; its function is to provide comfort.
The Hardshell is a rigid arc; it prevents the harness from bending and thus compressing the user's body under the strong pressure of the kite.
It is not in contact with the user nor with the back of the Adaptive skin; its function is to manage the mechanical pressure that the harness receives.
A product is as durable as the least durable part of its components.
The different components of a harness are often non-replaceable (sewn straps, glued foams, etc.) and certainly not recyclable. Therefore, sometimes a worn or damaged part forces you to throw away the entire product.
In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint and in order to provide better customer service, all HALO components are assembled without glue or seams so that each part is easily replaceable.
We stock spare parts and are able to replace each of them. The ARC spreaderbar, the sliding rope, and the kitenife are included with purchase.
Refer to our instructions for more information.
Thanks to our Adaptive shell technology, and in particular the very adaptable Skin part, there is no longer a need to use large, thick foam for comfort. The HALO's ultra-thin neoprene foam provides several advantages over a conventional harness:
. A more direct feeling
. Less bulky contact
. Lighter, even when in the water
In order to optimize the customer experience, we have added two sizes: S+ and M+. These two new sizes are in fact the standard S and M harnesses equipped with longer spreaderbars.
Bodies may assume different shapes:
. A more rounded shape (someone with a big belly)
. A more oval shape (someone with wide hips).
For the same waist size, we therefore have two completely different body types. By incorporating longer spreaderbars, sizes S+ and M+ are more suitable for people with wider hips.
Our kite leash attachment point is located towards the front of the harness, allowing easy and direct access for release in case of an emergency. Attached to the straps on the right-hand side by default, the metal ring can easily be moved to the left straps.
W A R N I N G : NAISH leashes are not adapted to the size of our metal ring, and it could present a safety hazard during release. We are currently working on a new version of the ring.
The ARC is a new generation spreaderbar developed to offer a more precise, comfortable navigation experience, with a harness that is better held in place.

In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint and in order to provide better customer service, all HALO components are assembled without glue or seams. We thus use less raw materials, chemical glues, and can easily replace a worn-out part. We stock spare parts and can replace each of them.
Nowadays, 50% of our plastics are recyclable, like the Skin (type 2) or the Pivot inter (type 5) and can be thrown away in the recycling bin.
100% recyclable HDPE. HPDE is a type 2 plastic.
100% recyclable PP. PP is a type 5 plastic.

Tout le monde connait à peu près son poids et sa taille, nous n’utilisons donc que ces données, ainsi que quelques conseils d’amis :
1. Le poids est la priorité : Vous repérez votre poids dans la grille, puis votre taille. Choisir sa combinaison est d’abord une histoire de volume, le poids vient donc avant la taille.
2. Il est nécessaire d’être bien serré à l’essai de nos combinaisons. Nous offrons une coupe 3D innovante, elle doit être très ajustée. Le néoprène se détend après quelques heures dans l’eau ; si vous prenez une taille trop lâche la combinaison ne sera donc plus bien ajustée après quelques sessions.
3. Nous donnons des intervalles de tailles car chaque morphologie est unique. Lorsque vous êtes en plage basse de l’intervalle (ex : 70kg pour une taille M homme), vous aurez une combinaison plutôt lâche. Lorsque vous êtes en plage haute (ex : 78kg pour une taille M homme), vous serez plutôt ajustés.
4. Inter-tailles « tall » : Nous conseillons d’opter pour une taille « T » pour une morphologie grande et fine, à partir de 10kg en dessous de votre taille (ex : 70kg pour 180cm = St).
5. Inter-tailles « short » : Nous conseillons d’opter pour une taille « S » pour une morphologie courte et large, à partir de 10kg au-dessus de votre taille (ex : 75kg pour 165cm= Ms).

Pour prendre des mesures précises, vous aurez besoin d'un mètre ruban. Vous devez toujours vous tenir droit et garder la poitrine et la taille en position naturelle. Chaque mesure de circonférence doit être prise bien horizontalement, le ruban doit être tendu mais pas serré.
La taille se mesure du haut de votre tête jusqu’aux dessous des pieds.
Le tour de cou se mesure horizontalement juste en dessous de la pomme d’Adam. Gardez la tête droite et regardez devant vous.
Le tour de poitrine se mesure au point le plus large de votre poitrine, sous les aisselles et au même niveau que les omoplates.
Le tour de buste se mesure avec le ruban placé autour du buste, juste en dessous des pectoraux.
Le tour de taille est pris autour du ventre en plaçant le ruban au niveau du nombril.
Le tour de hanches est pris autour des fesses au point le plus large de vos hanches.
