Brave 5 Swing Paragliding Harness

A versatile harness designed for all your adventures

This reversible harness combines comfort, robustness, and modularity. The Brave 5 has been designed to adapt to all lightweight flying disciplines: speedflying, speedriding, paragliding, hike & fly, parakiting, while offering intuitive handling and excellent freedom of movement. Thanks to its BRAVE ZIPON system, it can be transformed into a 45-liter alpine backpack or a pure harness, depending on your current needs.

A design focused on modularity

With the Brave 5, a single piece of equipment covers multiple uses. The BRAVE ZIPON system allows a quick transition from carrying mode to flying configuration, without compromising simplicity or functionality. The integrated Position Tuner allows full suspension adjustment via the leg straps, enabling seat height adaptation for speedriding or speedflying. Finally, the Cam Mount 360° system allows a camera pole to be securely mounted at the rear of the harness.

An integrated and functional alpine backpack

In just a few steps, the Brave 5 transforms into a 45-liter backpack with a clean design and well-thought-out features. It can carry your paraglider wing, a reserve parachute, a helmet, and additional accessories. It features attachment points for skis or poles, a stowable helmet net, a ventilated carrying system with ergonomic shoulder straps, and a padded zippered compartment to protect sensitive items. Once airborne, the backpack is fully stowed in the rear compartment without causing any interference.

A harness base optimized for piloting

The harness base is designed to be robust and functional, featuring a leg-strap suspension system without seat board, mobile shoulder straps, and individually adjustable back inclination. Two zippered side pockets are integrated into the suspension and are accessible for both right- and left-handed pilots. The Position Tuner system allows progressive suspension height adjustment: low for speedflying, high for speedriding. The Brave 5 is accelerator-compatible and equipped with integrated pulleys and lightweight automatic carabiners. One size fits pilots from 155 to 195 cm.

A rear compartment designed for active flying

The ZIPON speedriding/flying module features a 25-liter rear storage compartment, sufficient for carrying essential equipment during flight. It includes two external zippered pockets, an internal compartment for valuables, and attachment points for ski or hiking poles. The Cam Mount system allows a 360° camera pole to be mounted securely on the back of the harness.

An evolutive piece of equipment

A certified back protection model is currently under development and will complement the Brave 5 for pilots seeking additional safety during mountain flights.
