In this post we review the Zhik T2 Trapeze Harness looking at its key features for trapezing.
Zhik launched their T2 harness back in 2011 and since then it's been used by Olympians, World Champions and Club Sailors across the World.
The Zhik T2 Trapeze Harness gives you a close comfortable fit. The unique adjustable nappy style harness has a stretch crotch area for excellent levels of comfort when out on the wire. The harness also has no excess straps and buckles so it lets you trapeze without interference.
Zhik designed their double Velcro® system which provides a 2D custom fitting, helping to reduce movement within the harness. The velcro on both sides allows you to adjust the harness very easily making it better than a custom harness. You can simply slip the harness on and then tighten it after it is over your hips.
Personally I've been using the trapeze harness for a few years now while sailing our Tornado. Compared to previous harnesses I have owned it's the best I've used. The major benefits for me are no straps and having the ability to adjust as necessary.
If you're interested in buying a harness then check out the Zhik T2 Trapeze Harness page on our website. Also at the moment we have a limited edition Rio Olympics version of the trapeze harness which is only £149 while stocks last, a massive saving.
The harness is available in four different sizes from XS through to XL+.
If you have any further questions about the trapeze harness then please feel free to contact us, we would be more than happy to talk you through the product.

Read MoreMy favourite rope for splicing
Solid folding lock knife, this is my third one (dropped the last and the first I had for over 6 years).
Looks like it will be good at cutting rope, I've only ever used it for cutting cheese...
we order some stainless beta pins, good price and very quick delivery.
Zhik described this range as medium waterproofness. Unsure what this means and whether I need a spare set of gear for stronger weather. Not convinced but it fits well and it’s a good make. Would be good to see a long term review
The Inglefield clip was invented by Lieutenant Edward Inglefield RN in the 1890s, it has been standard issue to British warships since 1895.
The idea was to make a reliable and fast way of assembling a hoist of signal flags, which they do very well.
I have had a long involvement with these clips, mostly for flags, but they have other uses, for example the West Lancashire Seabird One Design (a half rater) use the clips for their spinnaker halyard attachment to the sail, and I have seen a big version cut out of steel plate for a special job.
The standard clips are made from brass, these medium size nylon ones are clearly not as strong as brass, but they are good for small flags.
A further advantage is the avoidance of metallic stains on the bunting.
I don't think they would be strong enough for a big flag in windy conditions, but that isnt what i purchased them for.
Brilliant rope pack - thanks
