Thank you for choosing Ozone.

The Ozium 2 is an incredibly lightweight XC pod harness designed for adventure flying. The Ozium concept has been well proven during sev-
eral years of intense vol-biv flying and two editions of the RedBull X-Alps, the toughest and most brutal adventure race in the world. We took 
the X-Alps prototypes and added a bit more durability and user-friendliness, making it an excellent choice for pilots seeking a lightweight pod 
system that is comfortable and features a very low pack volume. The Ozium 2 builds on the success of its predecessor with added features, 
refined geometry, and improved adjustment systems. In addition, it is even lighter. Pilots can now choose from a range of pod options - the 
interchangeable pods allow a customised level of durability and warmth in the air, and easy replacement.

As a team of free flying enthusiasts, competitors and adventurers, Ozone’s mission is to produce paragliding equipment of the highest qual-
ity using cutting edge designs and the best technical materials available. Our development team is based in the south of France. This area, 
which includes the sites of Gourdon, Monaco and Col de Bleyne, guarantees us more than 300 flyable days per year. This is a great asset in 
the development of the Ozone range. We know that quality and value for money are essential considerations when choosing equipment, so 
to keep costs low and quality high we build all our wings and harnesses in our own production facility. During production all Ozone products 
undergo numerous rigorous quality control checks. This way we can guarantee that our equipment meets the same high standards that we 
expect ourselves.

If you need any further information about Ozone, the Ozium 2, or any of our products please check www.flyozone.com. Or you can contact 
your local dealer, paragliding school or any of us here at Ozone.

It is essential that you read this manual before using your harness for the first time.

Safe Flying!

Team Ozone

• Paragliding is a potentially dangerous sport that can cause serious injury including bodily harm, paralysis and death. Flying an Ozone harness is 

undertaken with the full knowledge that paragliding involves such risks. 

• As the owner of an Ozone harness you take exclusive responsibility for all risks associated with its use. Inappropriate use and or abuse of your 

equipment will increase these risks.

• Any liability claims resulting from use of this product towards the manufacturer, distributor or dealers are excluded.
• Be prepared to practice as much as you can - especially ground handling, as this is a critical aspect of paragliding. Poor control while on the 

ground is one of the most common causes of accidents.

• Be ready to continue your learning by attending advanced courses to follow the evolution of our sport, as techniques and materials keep 

improving.

• Use only certified paragliders, harnesses with protector and reserve parachutes that are free from modification, and use them only within their 

certified weight ranges. Please remember that flying outside of certified configurations may jeopardise any insurance (e.g. liability, life etc) you have. 

It is your responsibility as the pilot to verify your insurance cover.

• Make sure you complete a thorough daily and pre-flight inspection of all of your equipment. Never attempt flying with unsuitable or damaged 

equipment.

• Always wear a helmet, gloves and boots.
• All pilots should have the appropriate level of license for their respective country and third party insurance.
• Make sure that you are physically and mentally healthy before flying.
• Choose the correct wing, harness and conditions for your level of experience.
• Pay special attention to the terrain you will be flying and the weather conditions before you launch. If you are unsure do not fly, and always add a 

large safety margin to all your decisions.

• NEVER fly your glider in rain, snow, strong wind, turbulent weather conditions or clouds.
• If you use good, safe judgment you will enjoy many years of paragliding. 
• Respect the environment and look after your flying sites.
• If you need to dispose the wing, do so in an environmentally responsible manner. 
• Do not dispose of it with the normal household waste.

Remember, PLEASURE is the reason for our sport!
