::: Seven-time kiteboarding world champion Mikailo Sol shows how to find your perfect size in hardshell harnesses.
The 3D Fit Technology allows ION to introduce specific sizing which addresses the rider’s individual back length. Supported by a detailed size chart & size finder, figuring out your size is as easy as it gets. Riders with a comparably shorter or average back length stick to their usual size. Riders with comparably longer backs may opt for a high-profile version. Tall size versions are available: ST; MT; LT.
Finding your perfect size is as easy as it gets.
Just watch Start with measuring your waist circumference just as normal.
To determine your back length, use a measuring tape to measure yourself from the 7th cervical vertebra (it clearly protrudes) down to your iliac crest / pelvic bone. Comparably long backs will be eligible for the tall variant.
For exact sizing wear a thin T-Shirt or measure shirtless. Make sure to measure straight down.
You can use any measuring tape of your choice. Once you’ve got your individual numbers use the ION size chart to see what size is recommended for you.
Please keep in mind that the sizes are advisory only. All harnesses should be tried on in person.
