Although its comfort and accessibility exceed standards in this category, it is not recommended as a first pod harness. That said, you don't need to compete in the X-Alps to fly it. The overall comfort and durability make it an excellent choice for an everyday harness for pilots in need of a compact hike & fly setup to access more remote take-offs, or for convenient and lightweight travel with a highly XC-capable harness.

It is definitely durable for the category, but please note that this is a light harness which should be handled with the normal amount of care and attention you give your light wings.

The front mounted reserve compartment is well-integrated with an easily accessible handle, and the rescue bridles are connected at the shoulders.

A new inflatable protection system features an innovative inner compartmented design which is more efficient. It is also quick to setup - during a hike & fly race, every second counts, and a new 50 gram pump provides rapid inflation. The protector can also be inflated using the bag which comes standard. A dump valve allows rapid deflation. An inflation tube is accessible in-flight.

The F*Race 2 is certified to EN 1651-2018 standard for pilots up to 110kg. The inflatable protector spans from thighs to above lumbar and is certified with a peak impact rating of less than 33.27 g.
