Hola there. Harnasses. Season is nearby. Lots are asking for new gear. Gliders and harnasses. And you know that harnasses are as important as gliders.

In a harnass you should first thing, be comfortable. And not just be comfortable for five minutes, but for maybe hours yeah ?

Ok, so just sitting in a harnass for a few minutes is not enough when trying. Try to sit in it for 20 minutes or so, and see how you feel, how stiff you are. How's your back. You feel like you are sitting awkward ? Try another one.

But do some homework first.

What do you want, a racer, sitting upright, maybe acro, maybe a light one ?

Make a choice, then go for the models.

I like the sup'air harnasses, because they have been around for ages. And serve good quality. Other brands to me, often make them too big, and are a pain to fit in the rucksack. Or are too heavy to take on a plane.

Now this is important. Carrying it up the hill all the time ? You may want to get you a light one then. Or with the charge for luggage in mind on planes nowadays (and more and more, you wanna make a bet ?), it could be a good choice to see what lights there are on the market.

Sup'air has several ones, and the last one I liked the most was the X-Alps. Guess what ?

They stopped making them, damn !

So I want you to show the newest harnass, with irreversable (correcty spelled ??) rucksack.

The sup'air Altirando XP with airbag.

The original Altirando had complaints, the rucksack was too small. It only fit small gliders, vacuum packed. They bettered it. The changes ? The volume is bigger now, and any glider, neatly folded fits.

It weights slightly more (350 grams), because of the better cloth being used for your back.

And now delivered with speedbar and footstrip, which gives you the opportunity to fly it little bit more supine if you please. And it has airbag protection.

If you want one when coming down, maybe let me know beforehand, so I can order. The cost just a little bit more than the original one. But, you get stirrup with it, and it is more comfortable, better designed this one. Ideal for travellers, or pilots who have to hike up the hill. It weighs less than 3 kgs.

Just checked on newest gear for you all, because winds were too strong for us today.
