Advance Success 4

Advance Success 4 Paragliding Harness

The Advance SUCCESS 4 is more than just a new addition to the popular SUCCESS family: its outstanding level of safety – far exceeding the general protector certification criteria – makes it something special. Its perfect seating geometry and a stylishly clean silhouette recommends this modern sports harness to those leisure and cross country pilots who value comfort combined with low aerodynamic drag.

Three protectors for maximum safety

SUCCESS 4 safety reaches new heights: the main protector extends far up the lower back. From there another foam protector continues up the spine. For the first time side impact protection from German protector manufacturer SAS-TEC is included in the design.

Perfect seat geometry

The SUCCESS 4 specialises in maximum comfort. The latest 3D development methods have produced a harness which fits the human frame to ergonomic perfection. Two foam protectors and the familiar ADVANCE comfort foam support not only the lumbar region, but all of the back in flight.

Tailored outline for ideal aerodynamics

The SUCCESS 4 scores with an exceptionally compact shape and slender silhouette, even though there are two additional protectors inside. A smooth and stress-sharing design guarantees the cleanest aerodynamics – for a total weight from only 3.9 kilos.

Technologies & Features

Multi-chamber foam protectors

The SUCCESS 4 has two multi-chamber foam protectors which ensure controlled air exit, thus providing the best possible protection performance. The main protector (LTF 91/09) extends upwards beyond the lower back. An additional protector continues up the back to protect the thoracic spine (rib attachment vertebrae). This foam can be taken out to make more room in the back pocket.

SAS-TEC Side protectors

Two visco-elastic soft-foam side protectors from German high-quality manufacturer SAS-TEC protect the pelvis, principally from side-directed crashes. These SAS-TEC parts can be removed and replaced.

Ergonomic 3D seat surface

The 3D-designed seat surface gives the SUCCESS 4 its great comfort. In addition, both protectors and the comfort foam are arranged to support the whole back perfectly – from top to bottom.

Balance-Strap-System

The Balance-Strap-System sliding support principle makes it easy for the pilot to slide back into the harness after takeoff, and helps him stand up again in the harness before landing. This traditional balance arrangement responds to the changes in pilot centre of gravity position encouraged by pulling in the legs after takeoff, and extending them before landing.

Familiar 2-buckle closure system

Only two buckles make up the ADVANCE harness leg and chest strap Safe-T-Function – easy to see, simple to close.

EASY CONNECT SYSTEM

The SUCCESS 4 has the EASY CONNECT SYSTEM. Coloured marking on the harness carabiner loops make clipping into an ADVANCE paraglider straightforward – the risers also have the EASY CONNECT marks.
