Welcome to the world of paragliding according to SUPAIR, a world of shared passion.
A technically advanced design harness, aiming at the Cross-Country and demanding pilots engaged on
a regular practice. Inspird by the first SKYPPER, this new one is outfitted with a cocoon in addition to a
standard ergonomically fitting efficient top to bottom back protector with a reasonable weight and size
for a high performance and precision.
Accurate feedback without parasitic instabi lity, enables precise and efficient steering.
It was designed with schooling and fun in mind to provide full comfort and a worry free learning curve.
The SKYPPER2 harness was certified EN 1651 : 1999 et LTF Nfl II 91/09.
Indicating that it meets European and German safety requirements.
After reading this manual, we suggest you to check your harness in static hang-posts to adjust it before
