PARAGLIDING HARNESSES
Paragliding harnesses are a key part of any paraglider's equipment. They are of paramount importance in this demanding aerial discipline. More than just an attachment point between pilot and paraglider, the harness provides essential comfort during flight, guaranteeing ergonomic support and balanced weight distribution.
Modern harnesses incorporate a range of advanced features, such as back protection systems, storage pockets and even safety devices. The choice of harness depends on the pilot's flying style, comfort and performance preferences, as well as safety aspects.
PARAGLIDING, PARAMOTOR HARNESSES AND ACCESSORIES :
In general, there are two main categories of harness: seated harnesses and string harnesses.
The former offer more extensive support for the pilot's body, distributing weight evenly over a wider surface area. This provides excellent support during long flights.
On the other hand, string harnesses are more minimalist, allowing greater freedom of movement and maneuverability in flight.
The choice between these two types depends on the pilot's individual preferences, flying style and level of experience.
In addition, harness accessories play an essential role in enhancing and optimizing the pilot's flying experience. These accessories offer a diverse range of features. Common accessories include speed-bars, spreaders and cockpits.
Air et Aventure also offers paramotor harnesses. These ensure a comfortable, stable position in flight, while distributing the engine's weight to optimize control and safety.
PARAGLIDING HARNESS BY TYPE :
Reversible harnesses allow the glider to be folded directly into the harness, which transforms into a rucksack for easy, compact transport. ideal for walking and flying.
Cocoon harnesses offer improved aerodynamics and thermal insulation, ideal for high-altitude or cold-weather flying.
For tandem flights, tandem harnesses are designed to accommodate one pilot and one passenger, while maintaining comfort and safety for both occupants.
Finally, for speed riding or speed flying enthusiasts, harnesses specially designed for this discipline combine lightness, agility and ease of handling to adapt to dynamic flights close to the ground.
Each type of harness is designed with specific features and functionalities, responding to the varied needs of pilots and contributing to an optimal flying experience, whatever the chosen flight modality.
