The Blood Red INTEGRA™ is a unique combination of your 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. Designed for any trapeze sailor, the ergonomic profiles allow freedom of movement with each panel intended to move with the body. An exceptionally low profile on the back and chest for maneuverability under the boom and in tight spaces.
Simple entry combined with a wide adjustment range.

Risks and challenges
Having spent a long time and much attention to designing and developing this unique product and securing independent tests to international standards, we are confident the product is great.
All production materials are on hand and our factory is primed and ready to go. Our QA team is in place to fully monitor and check production to ensure our backers receive the standards they expect.
The challenge will not be on production but mostly on order fulfillment. We believe we have the correct margin in our delivery times. But we can never be too confident in case there is an issue with shipping schedule to our fulfillment centre.
Then it’s down to us to ensure all orders are processed in a timely manner and you as backers are fully satisfied.
We hope we can service all your messages and requests as best as possible and in a timely manner.
Of course there will be some challenges and we’re ready for them.
