**The Supair RADICAL 4 is the pioneer hike & fly harness, now in its fourth generation–
light, flexible and made for the mountains.** The harness alone weighs just 920 
g in size M. Add the optional airbag-backpack module and it becomes a lightweight
reversible harness with airbag protection and an integrated reserve container.

Light and compact, easy to set up and use, the RADICAL 4 adapts to your movements
so you can play freely with the air – going fast, high and far. Its designer, Yoann
Chavanne, describes “a feeling of smooth control”: the harness deforms slightly 
to follow the pilot’s body, giving soft, precise handling.

## Understanding your RADICAL 4

### Ultralight and flexible

The RADICAL 4 has no seat plate. Semi-rigid, ergonomic leg straps with independent
Mylar stiffening support you in a seated position, and a foam-stiffened back adds
comfort. The result is a harness that packs tiny and moves with you.

### The airbag-backpack module

The optional module attaches with a zip. It adds a pre-shaped airbag, an integrated
reserve container under the seat and turns the RADICAL 4 into a reversible backpack(
62 L in S/M, 67 L in L) – one bag for the hike and the flight.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need the airbag module?

The harness alone is EN certified and is the lightest option for experienced pilots
and ski flying. For extra passive safety, an integrated reserve container and a 
backpack, choose the harness with the airbag-backpack module (LTF certified).

### Which size should I choose?

S fits 160–175 cm (5’3″–5’9″), M fits 170–185 cm (5’7″–6’1″) and L fits 180–205 
cm (5’11″–6’9″). Check the weight ranges in the Specifications tab, or ask us: [ WhatsApp](https://wa.me/19173596449?text=Hi%2C%20I%20have%20a%20question%20about%20the%20Supair%20RADICAL%204)·

### Which reserve fits?

Reserves from 2.9 to 5.3 L, in the container integrated into the airbag module.

### RADICAL 4 or ALTIRANDO LITE 2?

The RADICAL 4 is lighter and more minimalist, with leg straps instead of a seat 
plate. The [ALTIRANDO LITE 2](https://paraglidingequipment.com/supair-altirando-lite-2-harness/)
is a reversible harness with a seat plate and airbag as standard – more comfort 
for longer flights.
