ADVANCE LIGHTNESS – Two products, one concept

LIGHTNESS stands for an extremely light and very comfortable reclined harness with speedbag, together with its own lightweight rucksack. Both go perfectly together and these quality products weigh just over 2.5 kg all told, making up a compact entity. The LIGHTNESS is best suited to cross country orientated Hike&Fly pilots, travellers or bivouac flyers.

Tried and tested by the X-Alps

The unique LIGHTNESS concept carries the X-Alps spirit wholeheartedly with it and epitomises the original idea of free flight – to gain the necessary metres on foot, then make the most of their full potential in flight.

The ADVANCE X-Alps team put the LIGHTNESS well-and-truly though its paces, and Chrigel Maurer won the
world’s hardest paraglider race with it.

Top level comfort – in the air and on the ground The harness does not have a seatboard, and thus can fit the body perfectly. The comfortable hammock principle succeeds in giving an even more direct feedback from wing to pilot. The many adjustments are used to fit the harness precisely to an individual’s requirements, and the whole body is therefore ideally supported. The exceptionall compact rucksack also offers the highest degree of carrying comfort. Uncompromisingly light and sophisticated

Thanks to the workmanship shown on the highest quality lightweight materials, and a convincingly simple concept the harness with speedbag, front container, cockpit table and foam weights less than 2 kg; the rucksack around 600g. The LIGHTNESS system can therefore compensate for the weight of a normal paraglider. This means that, without resorting to a light wing, all your equipment can add up to only just over 10 kg - helmet and light reserve included. *
