RADICAL 4 – LIGHT AND FLEXIBLE HARNESS FOR HIKE AND FLY
Particularly suitable for your mountain hike & fly session, dune soaring & freestyle flying, the Radical 4 is a lightweight reversible harness with removable airbag module, including an integrated reserve parachute subcutaneous in the harness.
Weight : 920 g ( Ready to Fly Medium ) or 2190 g in M with the reversible airbag module
Light and compact, easy to install and use, it adapts to your movements to allow the pilot to play freely, to go fast, better, high and far.
The RADICAL 4 is the pioneer harness for hike and fly. In its fourth generation it still loves the mountains and vertical slopes.
The Radical 4 turns into a reversible backpack for walking up. It incorporates the possibility of connecting a removable airbag module with an integrated rescue parachute pocket under the seat for safety on demand… and mainly simplicity at every step.
Walk lightly, put into action easily, fly with confidence. The Radical 4 takes you up into the mountains, with a take-off from an incomparable viewpoint, at the time of the ascents, after a phase of skiing, fast-hiking or even climbing.
Its refined design embodies the spirit in which it was conceived: to keep only the essential to magnify the experience in flight. Its light weight does not reduce its comfort, thanks to its foamed back, neither its efficiency in turns: the support is precise, damped (the independent leg straps, stiffened with mylar, erase the irregularities of the air mass) and balanced (its structure erase the parasitic movements).
The Radical 4 gives “a feeling of smooth control, of controlled glide”, describes Yoann Chavanne, its designer. This soft precision in piloting is explained by its capacity to deform itself to adapt to the body of the pilot.
Well accessorized (pole holder, removable chest strap) the Radical 4 reveals itself in its finishing details. We touch with our eyes: every useful detail, every worked finish, every material chosen for its nobility and durability. The structure of the strap and the frame, the subcutaneous airbag relocated in front of the harness and using a rush designed with a resistant material, have been thought to improve safety. The backpack and harness have been designed separately to push the technical and aesthetic solutions to their limits.
Freedom, lightness, simplicity, because when there is nothing left to remove, the important thing remains.
