Info: You can find a short film about adjusting the harness on
www.advance.ch. The designer, World Cup winner Chrigel
Maurer, here shows you the perfect way to adjust your
iMPRESS 2 harness, in person.
Tip: For your first flight in the new harness choose calm
conditions ideally. If necessary, readjust the harness after fly-
ing by repeating the setting-up procedure, until you have
found your best flying position.
Caution: Be aware that the more prone or ‘laid back’ you
are in the harness increases the likelihood of the pilot and
harness twisting if in a spin.
Adjustments of the shoulder straps
The shoulder straps of the iMPRESS 2 harness permit easy adjust-
ment of the desired seating position for various pilot sizes. The neo-
prene covered adjusters are located at hip height and can easily be
moved over a wide range of settings.
Adjustments of the leg straps
The leg straps should be adjusted to a length that allows easy mo-
vement during the launch phase. This allows a safe launch even with
the speed bag and full loading (water ballast), and guarantees that
there is a comfortable transition to the desired seating position af-
ter launch.
Adjustment of the chest strap
The distance between the hang points can be varied using the adju-
ster on the chest strap. The development team recommends the op-
timal setting to be approximately shoulder width (approx 44 cms).
The chest strap uses automatic quick lock buckles and provides the
functionality of a Safe-T-System.
Caution: Ensure that the quick buckles are correctly
engaged!
Adjustment of the seating position
The relatively high fixed chest strap enhances the effective suspensi-
on of the back and takes the pressure away from the shoulders. With
the two quick-adjust buckles you can adjust this position easily in
