Sailing equipment example.

A Zhik trapeze harness is a sailing harness made by the Australian apparel brand Zhik (founded 2003, Sydney) that lets a crew on a trapeze wire hang outboard to counter heeling on skiffs and trapeze dinghies such as the 470, 49er, and International 14. It clips a spreader-bar hook to the boat’s trapeze wire and spreads load across the back and seat. Zhik harnesses use molded back support and quick-release entry, sold for high-performance dinghy and skiff racing.
