Mystic Stealth Waist Harness

Maintaining your Mystic Stealth harness

Rinsing: Rinse the harness thoroughly in cold, fresh water after every session in the sea. Salt and sand degrade the materials and make the buckles and webbing harder to move, so always rinse it—even after use in mildly brackish water.

Washing: Hand-wash the harness in lukewarm water with mild soap if it’s dirty. Never use a washing machine, tumble dryer or harsh cleaning products, as they can damage the foam, padding and fabrics. Also avoid leaving the harness in direct sunlight for long periods.

Drying: Let the harness air-dry by hanging it up or laying it in the shade with good air circulation. Make sure it’s completely dry before putting it away—moisture causes bad odors and breaks down the material over time. Never dry it on a radiator, in a tumble dryer or in direct sunlight.

Storage: Store the harness rolled up or lying flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding it or squeezing it tightly for long periods, as this can leave permanent marks in the foam. Regularly check the buckles, webbing and stitching for wear, and replace worn parts before heading out on the water.

How much does the Mystic Stealth harness weigh?

Stealth is Mystic’s lightest harness and weighs around 900 grams. Its low weight is due to the 3D-shaped construction, the thinner Battle Belt, and materials that don’t absorb water.

What sizes is the harness available in?

The harness is available in sizes S, M, L, and XL. Choose a size based on your waist measurement and check the size guide to ensure the harness fits snugly and comfortably without restricting your breathing.

What material is the harness made of?

The core is a Bionic Core Frame made of carbon composite, providing stiffness in the horizontal directions while still allowing it to twist and follow your body’s movements. The inside is made of Flexagon Drytech, which doesn’t absorb water.

Can I use the harness with my bar?

Stealth is designed to fit the Mystic Stealth Bar Gen 3. The harness has a standard spreader bar closure and can therefore be combined with regular kite bars.

Where do I attach my safety leash?

The harness comes with an Adaptive Leash Eye 2.0, which lets you attach your safety leash to the front webbing - the safest position, as it’s always within reach.

Is there space for a safety knife?

Yes. The Flexcover storage system has an integrated, concealed pocket for a safety knife, so you can quickly cut yourself free if the lines get wrapped around you.

How do I best care for the harness?

Rinse it in fresh water after each session, let it dry in the shade, and store it somewhere cool and dry. Avoid the washing machine, tumble dryer, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
