We understand that every flight is unique, which is why our collection includes a variety of wings designed to meet your specific needs.
The choice of a paragliding harness is as crucial as that of the wing itself. For paragliding enthusiasts, understanding the importance of a harness adapted to your needs is essential for an optimal flying experience. This comprehensive guide aims to provide you with all the basic information you need to make the right choice for your planchette harness.
The paraglider harness is the element in which the pilot sits, and is connected to his paraglider. The harness ensures comfort and safety during flight. It needs to be ergonomic, safe and adapted to each pilot's flying style, whether beginner, intermediate or expert. Choosing the right harness has a direct impact on the quality of piloting and the flying experience.
There are several types of harness, each designed to suit different flying styles and levels of experience:
Seated harnesses are appreciated for the stability and piloting precision they provide. With a rigid seat, they promote better transfer of control and a greater sense of control, ideal for pilots looking for a precise, responsive flying experience.
For those who prefer lightness and simplicity, string harnesses are the perfect choice. Less cumbersome than other types of harness, they offer great freedom of movement and are particularly suited to rando flying, bivouac flying or pilots who prefer simplicity and efficiency.
Reversible harnesses offer unrivalled versatility for pilots who like to combine hiking and flying. They convert easily from rucksack to harness, making the transition from walking to flying effortless and seamless. Perfect for hiking and flying adventures where weight and space savings are paramount, these harnesses combine comfort in flight with practicality on the ground.
Cocoon harnesses are designed for cross-country and competition pilots, offering optimized aerodynamics and exceptional comfort over long distances. With a design that wraps around the pilot's body, they minimize air resistance and maximize flight efficiency, while providing enhanced thermal protection and a feeling of safety.
Designed for tandem flying, two-seater harnesses guarantee safety and comfort for both pilot and passenger. Sturdy and practical, they feature multiple adjustments to adapt perfectly to each user's morphology, ensuring a safe and enjoyable flying experience.
Speed riding harnesses are specially designed for this discipline combining skiing and paragliding. More compact and offering maximum freedom of movement, they make it easy to control the glider while skiing downhill. Their design ensures a smooth transition between flying and gliding.
For paramotor enthusiasts, choosing the right harness is essential to getting the most out of their motorized flights. These harnesses are reinforced to support the weight of the motor and equipped with specific attachment systems, offering optimized ergonomics and comfort for long flying sessions.
Choosing the right type of harness is essential, depending on your paragliding experience and personal goals.
When choosing a paragliding harness, there are a number of features to bear in mind to ensure maximum comfort and optimum piloting precision:

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.
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.
