GRADIENT "COMPACT" HARNESS
Simple professional GRADIENT elegance comfort quality and practicability.
This is a harness for pilots who know what they want. A state of the art XC harness. Comfortable, adjustable in a wide range to suit different flying modes. Large back pocket with 3 more small pockets inside, 4 side pockets (2 zipper-closed) accessible in flight. Reserve mounted under the seat, protected by a bash-plate against damage. 18 cm back protector, foot rest, ballast compartment, adjustable centre of gravity, safe legs-strap system, flight deck or front-mount reserve clips, DHV tested. Comes with karabiners and legs rest. In Australia supplied with a modification preventing clipping in an instrument panel without closing legs straps. Side protectors can be fitted for $85.00 extra. RRP $1190.00
GRADIENT "COMET"
HARNESS
Comet harness is based on the same successful concept as the Compact but it has been simplified to make life easier for the beginner pilot and it is also lighter - only 3.8 kg without the back protector. The saving on weight is also responsible for a minor sacrifice: the open side pockets are missing and Comet has only the closed ones. The colors are again sober and conservative. Comet comes in 3 sizes and the price includes 17cm back protector and karabiners. As the Compact, Comet is also DHV tested. There are some small refinements there like pouches preventing lines being caught in those annoying buckles or zipper sliders. Shoulder straps have a piece of webbing to hold them together - with a whistle incorporated in the buckle. The right shoulder strap has also a pocket for knife or a EPIRB. Reserve extractor features again a see-thru plastic covers on its pins. All this for: $1060.00.

+++ New: Velvet 2 - perfection for the aerodynamic conscious leisure
and xc pilot +++
 We've tuned up our famous Velvet harness for
2006. The new geometry of the main suspension has been changed to
harmonize also with the gliders of the last generation during pilots
weight shift. The collateral effect of these changes are improved
seating comfort and the option for freestyle pilots to use the
Velvet 2 in a straight, very comfortable position. Furthermore a
new position of the speed-system pulleys softens the activation
forces for every speed system that they can be used over longer time
and relaxes the lower back of the pilot.
 The Velvet 2 will be available in
the well known quality in four configurations: With airbag or
foam shock absorber, in combination with the GetUp or T-Lock safety system.
