Looping

comfortable reversible harness

Looping is a low weight reversible harness, comfortable and fully-fledged. The large rucksack has enough capacity for the whole equipment. Little extras optimise the storage capacity of the rucksack. The successors of this harness are Looping BLUE and Looping GREEN.

Stretch pocket for variable size

While the loop is in "backpack mode", a stretch pocket enlarges the backpack. And in "harness mode" this stretch pocket reduces the back section aerodynamically sleek.

Backpack and protector separately

Thanks to the clever reversible system, the backpack and protector are completely separated from each other for the first time. Until now, the airbag protector was always the backpack at the same time - and thus also exposed to damage during transport.

Light and safe

Despite this unique feature, the Looping sets standards not only in the weight of just 3.7 kg (size M). The airbag protector marks with a deceleration rate of less than 20 g the best value we have ever achieved.

optimal seating position

Looping is equipped with conventional leg loops and T-Lock buckle. It always allows an optimal, neutral seating position, which was realized via the newly designed main suspension. In conjunction with the individual adjustment options in the shoulder and back area, every pilot finds his optimal position very quickly.

FAQ

The rucksack capacityof Looping is large enough to carry the whole equipment (paraglider, harness, clothes, etc.) and there is an integrated net to carry the helmet.

Yes, absolutely. Regarding comfort and flight characteristics Looping is a reversible harness, which absolutely keeps up with the attributes of common harnesses. It is comfortable, has an airbag protector and many useful well-thoughtout details.

It needs to be handled slighty more careful, yes. As the rucksack of a reversible harness is at the same time part of the airbag protector, you should take care of it in order not to damage the airbag during transport (cableway, airport etc.). Therefore this part of Looping is two-layered in order to protect the airbag.

Yes. The deployment bag meets current LTF requirements, thus is compatible with all common rescue systems (annular and cruciform parachutes).

The airbag protector of Looping fills up very quickly, thus provides protection already during take-off run. In order to optimise that protection, you can pre-fill the airbag simply by shaking it up before take-off.
