Hike & fly and lightweight harnesses

When you carry your gear up the mountain, every gram matters. Lightweight harnesses pack small and weigh as little as 1 kg, but still give you a comfortable seat, a reserve container and – on many models – real protection.

Who are they for?

• Hike & fly and vol-bivouac pilots
• Ski and mountain pilots
• Travelling pilots who need compact gear
• Hike & fly competitors

What to look for

• Weight and packed size – from minimalist leg-strap harnesses under 1 kg to light pods around 2 kg
• Protection: inflatable protectors or removable airbag modules save weight
• Reserve: integrated container sized for a light reserve
• Comfort for the length of flights you plan

Our picks

• Supair RADICAL 4 – 920 g, with an optional reversible airbag-backpack module
• Supair STRIKE 3 – a 2.15 kg pod for hike & fly and XC
