RANGE X-ALPS2: MINIMUM WEIGHT. MAXIMUM AERODYNAMICS. FULL COMFORT.

The RANGE X-ALPS2 is the first choice for Hike&Fly athletes and XC pilots who want to go to the limit in competitions or who insist on extremely light gear. Its detailed design is tailor-made for pilots looking for the ultimate, safe and amazingly comfortable harness for XC- and bivouac flights, when every gram counts. The RANGE X-ALPS2 meets the highest demands of top international athletes – such as Paul Guschlbauer, Simon Oberrauner and Ferdinand van Schelven in aerodynamics, weight and pack volume.

Its ingenious design and many features ensure comfort and safety in flight so that you can concentrate on your next big goal. The Power Frame of the RANGE X-ALPS2 distributes the weight of the pilot and the applied forces evenly over the entire seat shell and offers optimal support without pressure points. The pilot sits stably, neutrally and comfortably and steers his paraglider intuitively, keeping an even keel even in turbulence. In the event of a collapse, he can sit up quickly and assume a compact body posture. The second pioneering innovation is the PermAir protector. It combines the advantages of foam protectors with those of ram air protectors and offers high damping already during launch with a minimum packing volume. The airbag is inflated with the included Inflation Bag and protects your buttocks, back and lumbar vertebrae right from the start. After landing, just let the air out, collapse the harness in a few seconds down to the size of a towel, and stow it in the backpack.

Our development team didn’t compromise comfort when developing the RANGE X-ALPS2. A simple two-way get-up system provides easy access, while easy-to-find adjustment straps allow you to adjust the backrest perfectly to your individual sitting position, even during flight.

WHAT IS PERMAIR?

>> The basic concept of PermAir technology is an ingenious system consisting of several cells with the possibility of pressure equalization.

PROTECTOR WITH PERMAIR TECHNOLOGY

Combines the advantages of foam protectors with those of ram air protectors, offers high damping already during launch, minimum packing volume.

DID YOU KNOW?

>> The inflation bag is not only a carrying bag, it’s also bellows. Once filled with air, the PermAir protector can be easily inflated by connecting the valve and pressing down. A breeze!

POWER FRAME

Ensures ideal load distribution and support – highest flying comfort guaranteed!

DID YOU KNOW?

>> Our harnesses with Power Frame distribute the acting forces optimally to the pilot. Ideally, the pilot receives optimal support in every position, just like in a modern office chair. If the harness fits perfectly, he can control his glider intuitively even in turbulence.

With our ultra-lightweight harness RANGE X-ALPS2, the Power Frame ensures that the seat shell perfectly encloses the pilot at all times. The most important component is a wafer-thin wire made of unbreakable spring steel.

MINIMUM PACK SIZE

The harness can be folded super small due to its structure and therefore has a minimum pack size.

>> Extremely light with minimal space: The RANGE X-ALPS2 meets both requirements with flying colors!

DID YOU KNOW?

>> To save space and weight, let´s use the inflation bag to kill two birds with one stone: The bag serves both as carrying bag for the harness and as a bellows for the protector. This feature is unique and a milestone in harness development. The inflation bag can easily be filled with air by opening it. The tube of the PermAir protector can be attached to a valve located on the inflation bag. In addition, the inflation bag has a >>Roll Top<< that guarantees the ideal pack size.

AERODYNAMICALLY OPTIMIZED FAIRING

The aerodynamically optimized fairing inflates to the incoming air and carries out the flow behind the shoulders and pilot‘s head back together. The aerodynamic drag is reduced significantly.

STORAGE COMPARTMENTS

The rear compartment offers ample space for a rucksack and a hydration bag, while another storage compartment under the seat has room for a ballast bag or other equipment. Two inside pockets – left and right – are meant for camera, cereal bar and all the things the pilot needs during the flight. Another highlight is the pole bag, which is attached to the inside of the pod. It ensures a simple and safe stowing of hiking poles – this eliminates unpleasant pressure that can arise when stowing poles in the rear compartment.

FRONT RESCUE SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED COCKPIT

The front container is right in the pilots visual field. The cockpit provides enough room for several flight instruments. The rescue system is suspended on the shoulder strap.

RECCO®-REFLECTOR

International standard: The RECCO®-Reflector accelerates rescue operations and helps to safe lives.
