The  Eden 4 is certified with LTF GH type certified harnesses.   Nearly all harnesses 
available on the market are „GH“.

These “GH“harnesses are different to “GX“ harnesses, which have a lower attachment 
point for the main karabiners and effective cross bracing. The Eden 4 was not tested with 
harnesses with an effective cross bracing system. 

Any certified harness with a hang point at about chest height may be used with                         
the Eden 4 (37-50cm over seat plate). The distance between left and right main 
karabiners should be between 45 and 60cm, depending on the size of the pilot and               
the type of the harness. Please note: the hang point position changes the position                     
of   the brakes relative to the pilot's body.
