About this harness

The Lyte is Ride Engine's featherweight statement: one of the lightest harnesses on the market, built for riders who prioritise freedom of movement without giving up a hard shell's support. Paired with the Hyperlock quick-connect spreader, it disappears on the body — wave riders and foilers order it by name.
