Pay a visit to Blood Red Clothing on stand C18 at the RYA Dinghy Show (03-04 March, Alexandra Palace, London) and check out the new INTEGRA™ buoyancy trapeze harness.

On display for the first time in the UK, the Blood Red INTEGRA™ is a unique combination of buoyancy aid and trapezing harness combined into one.

"We didn't like racing with two pieces, the discomfort of the buoyancy vest riding up under your chin, the harness or vest not fitting because both items interfere with each other, so we looked at how we could combine the two elements and the INTEGRA™ was born", commented David Harris from Blood Red Clothing.

"The design was really well received when we launched it at METS last year and we were fortunate enough to receive a special mention for the DAME awards under crew clothing, which we were delighted to receive. We are really looking forward to showcasing the INTEGRA™ at the RYA Dinghy Show and to hearing what visitors think of the product", David added.

Designed for any trapeze sailor, Integra's ergonomic profiles allow freedom of movement, with each panel intended to move with the body. It has an exceptionally low profile at the back and chest for manoeuvrability under the boom and in tight spaces.

Features include:

  • Padded side panels on the hips for maximum impact protection, with Kevlar reinforced seat.
  • Ergonomic profiles allow freedom of movement, with each panel intended to move with the body. Exceptional comfort even for raid-type races.
  • Wide neoprene legs straps with adjustable webbing.
  • Wide, load-bearing spreader bar with four-point adjustment and fixture to give maximum comfort.
  • Strong yet light. The two in one design allows for superior performance. Product weight: 1.1kg.
  • Fully certified by international testing house (EN ISO 12402-5). Rated at 50N buoyancy. All materials tested for durability and stress testing.
Want to find out more? Drop by the stand (C18) where David and the team from Blood Red Clothing look forward to seeing you.
