SWING CONNECT REVERSE 2 PARAGLIDER HARNESS

Swing have updated their reversible paraglider harness, and the latest edition is the Connect Reverse 2.

It sports an improved airbag which inflates by means of a steel spring, completely independent of airflow, guaranteeing maximum protection right from launch and excellent longevity.

The harness now has a more streamlined, aerodynamic shape, and Swing say it has a good in-flight balance of comfort and agility. Its specially shaped seat board and optimised leg strap geometry also make it easier to get into.

The rucksack still has Deuter®’s excellent carry system, with crossed aluminium strips which effectively transfer weight to the hip-belt wings so the perceived weight is noticeably reduced.

Built from robust, high-quality materials, the Connect Reverse 2 is a durable and comfortable harness, ideal for extended hike-and-fly tours, travelling or simply for flying.
