Tip:
put the glider at the bottom of the rucksack, to fill up this
space. Pull the lower section of the rucksack lid over the glider
pack, then pull up the side zips to this level and stand the ruck-
sack up. Now pack the remainder of your possessions on top.
The PROGRESS 3 has plenty of room for clothing and instruments.
Your helmet can either go inside or be held in the external helmet net.
This is adjustable and can fit any size of helmet. There are also three
elasticated side pockets and another two on the waist strap for addi-
tional small items. The large side pocket on the right can carry hiking
poles, for example, or a 1.5 ltr drink bottle. The upper left side pocket
can also take a drink flask. The small elastic side pocket on the left is
easy to reach while walking.
Caution:
never drag the PROGRESS 3 over the ground. Do not
pack pointed or sharp objects in the back pocket, the additional
pockets or inside the rucksack – they can damage the fabric.
Setting up the Rucksack Mode
The PROGRESS 3 rucksack function is designed to hold a paraglider,
helmet and some clothes. Its compact nature and geometry make it
very comfortable to carry.
1. Adjusting the waist strap
The fastened waist strap of a packed rucksack should sit directly over
the hip bones. The channel in the strap helps you to find this position.
Pull in the waist strap so that it feels secure and comfortable. When
correctly adjusted most of the rucksack weight will be carried on the
waist strap and hips.
2. Shoulder strap adjustment
Pull these in until you can just feel them – but not too tight. The low
shoulder strap attachment points accommodate different upper bo-
dy lengths. Correctly adjusted shoulder straps sit on the shoulders, but
do not apply strong pressure.
