Back protection/comfort foam installation instructions
The comfort foam is an important element to get the most comfort on
long flights. This foam is not compatible with other harnesses and is
not LTF approved. Open the protector compartment and slide in the
comfort foam. The hard shell is already integrated in the harness
ex-factory. The protector must in every case be fitted into the com-
partment so that it does not slide around. The PLUS version back
protector is installed in the same way as the comfort foam.
Caution: after the installation of the comfort foam, check
carefully that the reserve parachute handle works well.
Fitting the Speedbag
Attach the Speedbag to the matching velcro on the rear of the har-
ness. Close both side zippers and fix the reserve handle (be sure it is
in the correct position).
Thread the four internal straps from the front of the Speedbag
through the harness attachment points and pull until the desired
length and angle is reached. A return strap stops the length from
changing during flight.
flight. This is the only adjustment you should do in flight depending on
the conditions, after you have set the harness to your ideal position.
The lumbar support can be adjusted very precisely to your preferred
position. This feature guards against unnecessary fatigue in the lo-
wer back.
These two adjustments are crucial for your comfort on long flights. If
you set them up well, you will be able to fly without any tension in the
stomach or shoulder muscles.
Adjustment of the seatboard angle
The angle of the seatboard can be adjusted easily and almost infini-
tely to suit your personal preferences. It is important to choose as flat
an angle as possible to avoid any pressure from the seatboard on the
back part of the thigh. When using the iMPRESS 2 for freestyle wi-
thout Speedbag or stirrup, you need to get a more angled position
(pull the front of the seatboard up to raise the knees).
The angle of the seat board can be quickly altered using the quick-
adjust buckles. This makes the iMPRESS 2 harness quite adaptable
for cross country and freestyle pilots.
