2016 Ion Apex & Vertex Select w/Ben Skaggs
2016 Ion Apex & Vertex Select w/Ben Skaggs
Sometimes you have questions. And, well, we don't always have the answers. In those cases, it's better to get the answers from the person who would know the product best, our brand reps. Ben Skaggs, one of North's representatives, was able to give us the low-down on the 2016 Ion Apex Select and 2016 Ion Vertex Select harnesses.
2016 Ion Apex Select & 2016 Ion Vertex Select
- Wire_Tec on both harnesses allows even load distribution, thanks to the 8 dynema strands throughout the core and sides of the harnesses
- New Memory Foam technology on both harnesses allows the viscous elastic foam to have an ergonomic fit every time
- The Neo_Belt offers an improved flex, twist, and comfort on both harnesses
2016 Ion Apex Select
If you have yet to try an Ion harness, you've been doing yourself a disservice. Blending comfort with ease of use, Ion harnesses have the rare feature of feeling as good on the water as they do in the showroom. The new Ion Vertex Select and returning Apex Select introduce Wire Tec, a new tightening system that results in a balanced load distribution. This system prevents the complete load from resting on the two standard pylons found in most harnesses, instead distributing weight throughout the cables. In addition, both of these harnesses are built around extremely comfortable platforms.
Get ready to sink into the cushiest harness ever created. The APEX SELECT features new technology and innovation to further enhance its performance. The new Wire_Tec disperses direct pressure points, while the X-Spine has been reworked to complement its overall function seamlessly.
Target group: Experienced freeriders searching for a harness to accompany them on their quest of charging waves, freestyle and speed.
2016 Ion Vertex Select
Ion's Vertex Harness is one of our favorite waist harnesses. You're going to see tons of body support with their new padding concept, the Pro Pad, as well as comfort and free-twisting action while you're wearing the Vertex. The Vertex is also easy to adjust and moderately lightweight.
Also dubbed the Twist harness, the VERTEX SELECT is jam-packed with a mouthwatering amount of ION’s high tech features, making this harness perfect for waves. This year we have added the new Wire_Tec and its complementing X-Spine technology for balanced load distribution.
Target group: The free spirited rider looking for invisible support and outstanding freedom of movement. If it’s good enough for Sky Solbach, it’s probably good enough for you!
