Why choose the Zhik Trapeze Harness?

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.

Zhik T2 Trapeze Harness

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.

Key Trapeze Harness Features

  • Padded shoulders
  • Heavy duty buckle
  • Integrated spreader bar
  • Adjustable lumbar support
  • Stretch crotch
  • 2D Velcro adjustment
  • Kevlar reinforced seat

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+.
