ION Echo 2026

Its fit adapts to your body without restricting movement, the thick leg straps prevent chafing and the reinforced materials stand up to the daily use of the first few weeks. It comes with the C-Bar 1.0: you adjust the straps once and then open and close it with the quick-release buckle.

Which size to choose

Official ION size chart. With seat harnesses, hip circumference is what counts: measure it at the widest part. If you're between two sizes, the smaller one feels firmer and the larger one is more comfortable with thick wetsuits. Check the selector for the sizes available in store. You'll find more tips in our harness size guide.

Frequently asked questions

Does it come with a spreader bar?

Yes, it's supplied with the C-Bar 1.0 and its stainless steel hook.

Seat or waist harness to get started?

A seat harness pulls from lower down, doesn't ride up towards your chest and gives more confidence in your first sessions. Once you're more at ease you can move to a waist harness such as the ION Axxis 2026.

How do I get the size right?

With seat harnesses, hip circumference is what counts. Measure it at the widest part and find your measurement in the chart.
