Welcome on board !
The ADVANCE iMPRESS 2 is an aerodynamically optimized and ver-
satile harness, of the latest generation. Developed for the use in com-
petitions, is it also perfect for all those pilots who like the warmth of
the Speedbag during long fl ights. Due the fact that you can remove
the Speedbag with ease, this model is one of the few in its class that
can be used for freestyle fl ying and in winter with skis as well.
The iMPRESS 2 is derived from the very successful iMPRESS. How-
ever, the iMPRESS 2 is available now in three sizes allowing more ver-
satility for fi tting pilots of different heights. Some details have been
changed from the iMPRESS, without affecting its legendary comfort.
The iMPRESS 2+ version has a thicker, LTF certifi ed back protector,
and this provides even more protection and safety.
Developed by the Pro’s – approved in practice
The iMPRESS harness was developed and tested by Chrigel Maurer
(PWC winner, European Champion and OLC Overall winner). Chrigel
used an early prototype of this harness on his European XC Record
fl ight in 2004 (323 km). His 10 hour fl ight certainly proved the com-
fort of this design.
Now, not only all of the ADVANCE Comp pilots fl y with the iMPRESS,
but many top pilots using other makes of glider choose it as well.
The iMPRESS was the harness used by all three of the pilots on the
2006 PWC podium:
1.
Chrigel Maurer - OMEGA / iMPRESS
2.
Greg Blondeau - Magus / iMPRESS
3.
Thomas Brauner - Magus / iMPRESS
Impressive evidence of its comfort and performance!
One philosophy – one concept
Just like our gliders, ADVANCE harnesses are well engineered high
end products made from the best materials available. We are one of
the few paraglider manufacturers that actually make our own harnes-
ses as well. They are produced in our own factory with our high quali-
ty standards, using the most advanced techniques available.
All ADVANCE harnesses feature the following qualities:
•
A direct transfer of all glider movements to the pilot to support
or promote an active fl ying style
