Paragliding EXTREME Minimalist Harness (Only 1.6kg!!!) SUPAIR ALP for Hike & Fly, where performance, compactness and minimum weight are key! Is it for everyone? Who should avoid it? Who is it for? Find out in this all in one test, review and tutorial paragliding video :)
The big question was how much of a difference the ALP actually makes to performance - the main reason for choosing this harness over any other ultralight pod!?
We were initially sceptical about how much of a boost it would give, but after extensive testing - with nine different wings, over many days, and doing direct comparisons with other harnesses, we are confident there’s a noticeable improvement!
Supair says the ALP halves harness drag and improves sink rate by 10-15 cm/sec - a big performance gain!
From our testing, we felt a clear difference in sink rate and glide, across all speeds, but especially accelerated, and most noticeable with higher performance paragliding wings.
There’s a good reason why almost all top competition paragliding pilots have switched to full-envelope, torpedo-style harnesses like the Ozone Submarine!
For pilots wanting the best balance of ultralight weight and top performance - the ALP is it!
How much does paragliding gear weight?
