School & progression paragliding harnesses

Your first harness should make flying feel simple. School and progression harnesses put you in a comfortable, upright seated position, make it easy to go from standing to sitting after takeoff, and give you plenty of passive protection while you learn.

Who are they for?

• Students on a paragliding course (P1–P2)
• Newly qualified pilots buying their first harness
• Schools and instructors equipping their students
• Pilots who want a simple, comfortable harness for local flying

What to look for

• Protection: an airbag (light and compact) or foam protector (works immediately, ideal for sandy or rough launches)
• Easy closing: automatic buckles and clearly colored leg straps
• Stable seated position that damps the wing's movements
• Reserve container with a clear, easy-to-reach handle

Our picks

• Supair ACCESS 3 – the school harness: two automatic buckles, airbag or BUMPAIR foam
• Supair ALTIRANDO LITE 2 – a light reversible harness to progress and start hike & fly
• Supair EVO LITE 2 – a progression harness you can turn into a pod with its speedbag (last units on sale)

What comes next?

Once you're flying regularly and starting cross-country, many pilots move to an XC pod harness.
