It is difficult to improve a harness like the MANERA EXO, but Adaptive Shell Technology has been applied to the EXO model to provide better support, reduced weight and increased durability.
Thanks to a stiffer center area, the MANERA EXO perfectly supports the back. However, it allows greater freedom of movement thanks to its different levels of rigidity, especially its flexible outline.
The soft part of the EXO is built in one “Single foam”. The single foam doesn’t absorb any water, so the harness stays light and comfy once in use.
The harness comes with a standard hook, a rope and a knife.

Product Technologies
Adaptive Shell The Adaptive Shell stiffness shades from hard in the center area to softer on the edges. The stiff center-belt prevents the harness from folding and compressing your body while preserving a good lumbar support. The softer outline preserves intuitive mobility and adaptability. It results in a shell that is forgiving where you need flex and stiff where you want support.
Single Foam Comfort is paramount in any harness; the UNION uses a single injection mould to make a one-piece foam backing. This makes it exceedingly durable, as there are less parts to be glued or stitched together. It absorbs far less water and is much lighter than the multiple foam layups used in some harnesses.
Down Hold System Because there’s nothing worse than a harness that rides up during your sessions, Manera developed the DOWN HOLD SYSTEM, an asymmetrical attachment that distributes the forces downward. Secured in its original position, the hook does not ride back up.
Tuck Flap The TUCK FLAPS further assist the DOWN HOLD SYSTEM using the flaps positioned on the ends of the spreader bar and inserted into the harness. Once the straps are tightened, they are compressed and locked. By stiffening the connection between the harness and the buckle, they prevent it from riding up.
Leash Attachment
The 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.
