The Perfect Companion for Hike-and-Fly Enthusiasts

Lightweight Yet Rugged

One of the biggest advantages of the Swing CONNECT REVERSE 3 harness is its incredibly balanced design. While it’s lightweight enough for extended hikes, it’s also sturdy enough to handle tough terrain and weather. Every stitch, buckle, and seam is tested to ensure long-lasting durability without adding unnecessary bulk.

Superior Weight Distribution

Carrying your glider and accessories over long distances can strain your shoulders and back. The CONNECT REVERSE 3 addresses this with strategically padded straps, ventilated back panels, and an optimized load distribution system. As a result, you can carry your gear comfortably while keeping your energy for the flight ahead.

Enhanced Pilot Support

In the air, comfort directly impacts performance. The Swing CONNECT REVERSE 3 harness uses contoured seat boards and body-hugging support panels to reduce pressure points. This ergonomic shaping allows for natural posture, helping you stay relaxed during extended flights.

Smooth Control Response

A well-designed harness makes your wing feel more responsive. With the CONNECT REVERSE 3, precise weight shifting becomes effortless, enabling smoother turns and better energy management during thermal climbs or cross-country flights. Every input you make translates cleanly, allowing you to focus entirely on the skies.

Integrated Reserve Parachute

Safety is non-negotiable in paragliding, and the Swing CONNECT REVERSE 3 harness makes sure your reserve parachute is always accessible. Its built-in side-mounted container ensures a quick and intuitive deployment. Positioned within easy reach, it offers peace of mind whether you’re soaring in strong thermals or gliding over unpredictable terrain.

Reinforced Protection Zones

The harness includes high-density foam protectors and shock-absorbing materials in critical areas. These are designed to absorb impact energy in case of a hard landing, reducing the risk of injury while preserving your harness’s structural integrity.
