Apco have designed a split-legged harness for paramotorists. Light in weight, they say it offers an unencumbered take-off and easy weightshifting.
The lack of a seat plate saves weight, and the harness weighs in at under 1.5kg. It is available in high- and low-hangpoint versions, one size fits all (with a zippered back extender) and is comfortable “beyond our expectations”, say Apco.
The fact that the motor sits much closer to the pilot’s back makes it easier to manage on the ground, say Apco, and makes it feel lighter.
In the air it makes weightshifting easier, so it is a good choice for slalom pilots.
A zip-off foam insulator baffles engine vibrations, and an emergency parachute compartment can also be zipped on and off.
