INDEPENDENCE FREESTYLE HARNESS

Independence’s new Freestyle paraglider harness is available with a choice of one or two reserve containers.

A light but sturdy all-round harness, it was designed for freestyle, acro or thermalling in close collaboration with professional SIV instructor Chris Geist. It has a seatboard, magnetic speedbar keeper and underseat reserve container(s) with easy-reach and brightly coloured deployment handles.

The single-reserve version is available in red-with-green or green-with-red colourways, while the double-reserve harness is black only. Both options are available in three sizes, weighing 4.1kg, 4.3kg and 4.5kg.

The Freestyle is EN and LTF certified, and made in the EU. The VAT-inclusive RRP of €820 (one reserve) and €850 (two reserves) includes the reserve V-bridles and AustriAlpin Powerfly karabiners.
