Supair DELIGHT 5 – Cross-Country Pod Harness

The Supair DELIGHT 5 is a reassuring cross-country pod harness built for pilots who want to fly long and far with peace of mind. Comfortable, stable and easy to live with, it filters turbulence and keeps you relaxed through five- and six-hour flights – whether it’s your first pod harness or you’re flying a high-performance EN-C or EN-D wing.

The fifth generation of Supair’s best-selling XC harness is about 450 g (nearly 10%) lighter than the DELIGHT 4, without losing the comfort and support it is known for. A full-length foam back protector, a rigid magnetic cockpit, a carbon seat plate and in-flight adjustments make it one of the most user-friendly cross-country harnesses on the market.

Understanding your DELIGHT 5

A stable, turbulence-filtering seat

The DELIGHT 5 places you in a seated to semi-reclined position on a rigid carbon seat plate. This firm base keeps you steady at high speed and filters the movements of the wing, so you can focus on your line instead of being moved around in turbulence. An adjustable chest strap lets you fine-tune how much feedback you feel.

Full-length BUMPAIR protection

The new-generation BUMPAIR is made from certified PLASTAZOTE® structural foam and protects you from the neck down to the lower thighs. Unlike an airbag, foam protection works immediately – there is nothing to inflate – and it protects you whatever the angle of impact. It folds for compact packing in your rucksack, and the harness passes the anti-fall test at 450 kg.

Easier, safer reserve handling

• A more ergonomic reserve pocket for reserves from 2 to 5.3 L, such as the Supair Fluid Light EVO
• Tool-free reserve installation
• Improved reserve handle attachment

Cockpit, pod and storage

• Magnetic cockpit – rigid and high-capacity, so your instruments stay steady and in view.
• Speedbag with nose pocket and a carbon footboard for better foot support.

• Large back pocket (21–29 L depending on size) with a dedicated place for a water bladder.
• Two zipped side pockets and a 5 L pouch under the seat.
• Openings for a water tube, ballast drain hose and pee tube for really long flights.

Adjust it in flight

Speedbag length (heels and toes), lumbar support, backrest angle, chest strap and shoulder straps can all be adjusted – and the in-flight settings can be locked once you’ve found your position.
