The original Session kite harness was introduced to the kiteboading world over 4 years ago. With thousand in use around the world, the Session has gained legendary status for its rugged durability, incredible comfort and innovative safety features. The industry first “Clip on – Clip” off leg straps allowed riders to wear the Session as waist or seat harness, creating a new segment in harness market: the Hybrid.

The Session 2 kite harness is the result of rider feed back from our global community of riders: The Crew. Hundred’s of committed OR riders communicate through the OR forum, directly with our R&D team. This information is coming from all levels or rider, for all parts of the globe. Firmly grounded on the success of the original Session, we sure you’ll you enjoy upgrades to classic.

Construction:
One of toughest sewn products we could think of was the good old Hockey Skate. We looked at how hockey skates combined both stiff and soft fabrics to make a truly bomber product that was comfortable when worn under high loads.

Sewing:
Double buck stitch sewing all around. Fabrics: heavy-duty ballistic nylons, seamless internal webbing power band that supports the hook attachment... everything is double sewn, reinforced and then attached to the internal power band. Rock solid!

Comfort:
Molded thermo foam padding against your body for maximum comfort.

Buckle Covers:
We've made every attempt to cover all buckles and potential line tangle points with the buckle covers.

Design Features:
The "up high" leg strap gives you a huge range of adjustment on the harness height. Ride seat style (low) or waist harness height (mid) without the chance of the harness riding up.

Wear your leg straps inserted into the Session short! Allowing you to wear your board shorts over the leg straps! It's all about style!

This unique up high leg strap port allows the rider to wear board shorts or pants over the leg straps when worn in combination with the Session Under Short, effectively hiding the straps. As well as looking good covering the leg straps eliminates one more potential tangle spot for lines.

The leg straps can also be worn over dry suits and wetsuits without the internal shorts. Leg straps are completely removable so the harness can also be worn as just a waist harness!



Lock and Load Leg Holsters:
The leg strap hinge point at the hip instead of the lower bum allowing the rider a huge range in leg motion.

Unlike traditional kite harness leg straps that hinder your freedom, there is no leg restriction thanks to the side loading, lock and load leg straps.

In the design process for 2 years, the Session 2 (II) Hybrid Kite Harness is a mix of ideas and concepts from Ocean Rodeo's experience kiteboarding, skydiving, and hang gliding.

If you have been unfortunate enough to have a harness fail while kiting, you will understand Ocean Rodeo's mission to create the toughest, safest harness ever conceived.

Built with the same rugged construction and attention to detail as all Ocean Rodeo products, the Session 2 (II) Hybrid Kiteboarding Harness was designed to be super strong, while at the same time incorporating obvious safety requirements, currently ignored by our competitors.

With thousands in use around the world, the 2009 Session 2.0 Hybrid Kiteboarding Harness by Ocean Rodeo has gained legendary status for rugged durability, incredible comfort and innovative safety features.

The kiteboarding industry's first "clip-on / clip-off" leg straps allows riders to wear the Session 2 (II) as a waist or seat harness.

One day all harnesses will be built this way.



Fabrics:
Heavy-duty ballistic nylons, seamless internal webbing power band that supports the hook attachment... everything is double sewn, reinforced and then attached to the internal power band. Rock solid!

Ocean Rodeo's unique leg strap attachment, (through a "port" located on the top edge of the harness) allows the rider a giant range in harness adjustment height, another first from Ocean Rodeo. Simply thread the clip through the port and clock in.

Because of the "up high" leg strap, you have a huge range of adjustment on the harness height.

Ride seat style (low) or waist harness height (mid), without the chance of the harness riding up.

The leg straps can also be worn over dry suits and wetsuits without the internal shorts.

Leg straps are completely removable so harness can also be worn just a waist harness.

Leash Quick Release:
Letting go of your kite with a leash connected to the back of your harness can be a sketchy move in some conditions.

If things go wrong you now have the final option of releasing your leash from the back of the harness. Simply pull the red eject handle next to the harness hook and you'll be free.

Hook Knife
Hook knife located on back top edge of harness. Cut your way out of a mess.

Velcro Wrap Entry
Sturdy elastic cummerbund with front Velcro closure. Spreader Bar Pad. The spreader bar is sandwiched onto a control pad with Velcro, allowing you to easily change hooks. This pad also helps to spread the hook's load.

Harness Sizes: S, M, L and XL comes complete with leg straps.
