# CONNECT REVERSE 3 - Link: https://paraglidingequipment.com/connect-reverse-3/ - Published: 2018-09-11T20:28:38-06:00 - Author: admin # Swing CONNECT REVERSE 3 harness The CONNECT REVERSE 3 harmonizes perfectly with the new generation of RAST gliders with its ideal balance between comfort and agility, making it the number one choice for anyone looking for a durable and comfortable harness for extended hike & fly tours, traveling or simply for everyday flying. The CONNECT REVERSE 3 is the third generation of the classic CONNECT REVERSE. Available in four sizes, instead of the three sizes, there have been previously. This makes it even more comfortable for pilots since the geometry for the different sizes could be further refined. The well-proven design of this popular convertible harness was retained in principle, but a number of aspects were improved e.g. simplified conversion, speed bar retractor, and trekking pole loops. The optional new LIGHT SHIELD provides additional protection for the upper back area and, together with the airflow-independent airbag, forms a protective shield around the pilot’s back for better protection. The “Alpine Back” carrying system made by backpack specialist Deuter® is of course used in the CONNECT REVERSE 3 as well, which guarantees unequaled carrying comfort. The CONNECT REVERSE 3 harmonizes perfectly with the new generation of RAST gliders with its ideal balance between comfort and agility, making it the number one choice for anyone looking for a durable and comfortable harness for extended hike & fly tours, traveling, or simply for everyday flying.     ![Evo connect 3 harness details](http://paraglidingequipment.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2018/09/Evo-connect-3-harness-details.jpg "CONNECT REVERSE 3 1")   ## CONNECT REVERSE 3 Harness features * airflow-independent airbag without air inlet (shaped by way of a steel spring)- > maximum damping right from launch, greatest possible form stability even after years of use. * optional LIGHTSHIELD back protection.
