Called trapeze in the US too, but generally refer to the marine version used for sailing/boats.
Hook structure tends to be a bit different than what is used for kites.

Sailing traps aren't designed for the same loads a kite could deliver, nor are kite spreaders designed for sailing loads.
Hope you find what you're looking for Detonator!

I think the spinny-handlepass stuff the pros do would make them at home in the tops of the Big Top!

Detonator, Just like buying a pair of jeans, different makes and models of harnesses fit different sizes, and types of builds. Ideally try and find
some you can try on, either at a shop, or some guys flying at the beach. Kiters are usually very helpful.
Failing that, just go with your waste size. That's how the harnesses are usually sized up. A safe bet would be the ozone access harness. Its a
climbing style harness, and fits anything from about 32-33 inch up until around 50 inch apparently. I'm somewhere between 35-37 (I think, I havent
bought clothes in a long time) and it fits me fine, and there is a looot of extra room !

not necessarily true, bought to many that were not sized as they stated. best bet would be to find a shop or someone who has one and try it on.
I have a few that were marked XL that my 4 year old grand son would wear.  then
on the other side of that I have one that I wear, the size is small and I have a 36 inch waist. makes me feel skinny.
