2) Swing Connect Reverse 3: Convertible Hike & Fly Paragliding Harness
The “Alpine Back” carrying system made by backpack specialist Deuter® is used in the Connect Reverse 3 as well, which guarantees unequalled carrying comfort. The Connect Reverse 3 harmonises perfectly with the new generation of RAST gliders with its ideal balance between comfort and agility, making it the number one choice for anyone looking for a durable and comfortable harness for extended hike & fly tours, travelling, or simply for everyday flying.
The optional new Lightshield provides additional protection for the upper back area, and together with the airflow-independent spring tensioned airbag, forms a protective shield around the pilot’s back for better protection.
