WARNING: Always maintain chest strap

adjustments within the paraglider

manufacturer’s recommended range

it symmetrically. If you need to lengthen the leg straps, ﬁrst check that the shoulder straps are

not too tight. It is not normally necessary to make large adjustments from the default leg strap

setting.

Chest Strap

The adjustment of the chest strap controls the distance between the carabiners and affects

the handling and stability of the glider. Widening the distance between the carabiners increases

feedback from the wing and allows for easier weight shifting. Closing the strap gives you a more

stable feeling in turbulence but increases the risk of stable spiral and also the risk of twisting!

The chest strap may also be adjusted in ﬂight according to the conditions; for example, it may

be tightened in turbulent air and ﬂown at a looser setting in less turbulent or weak conditions.

Seat Straps

The seat straps change the depth of the seat. Adjust to ﬁnd a comfortable position. In the

sitting position, lengthen the straps to their maximum at ﬁrst and then use the plastic buckles to

shorten the straps to ﬁnd a comfortable position with good back support. Lengthening the straps

also helps you to slide easily into the harness at take off, while shortening the straps helps you to

be in the standing position for landing.

Speed Bar

Hanging in the simulator, adjust the length of the speed bar cord so that the bar hangs at least

15cm below the front of the harness. Making the cord too short could result in the speed system

being constantly or unintentionally engaged during ﬂight. It is safer to start with the speed bar

a little long and shorten it following your ﬁrst ﬂights. Test the speed bar in ﬂight only after you
