With the CONNECT REVERSE 3, the 
optimum hang point and the particular 
design of the airbag ensure pilot safety right 
from the time you launch. The CONNECT 
REVERSE 3 has a multi-chamber airbag 
protector, the compartment under the seat 
is expanded by a spring system. This 
operates independently of airflow.

 

Reserve container 

The  CONNECT  REVERSE  3  has  a  generously 
sized  reserve  container,  which  can  be  reduced 
in size using an integrated zip. 
This feature means it offers a secure place for 
small  reserves  as  well  as  enough  space  for 
large or steerable reserves. 
The reserve container is  a semi-tube container 
which,  combined  with  the  ideally  located 
deployment handle, ensures safe deployment. 

Comfort features 

Carrying system 

In backpack mode, the CONNECT REVERSE 3 is 
fitted  with  a  carrying  system  made  by  Deuter, 
the  specialist  in  alpine  backpacks.  The  Alpine 
Back  System  ensures  the  highest  level  of 
carrying comfort and ideal weight distribution. 
The  flexible  Vari  Flex  hip  belt  is  available  as  an 
optional  extra  for  the  Alpine  Back  System,  and 
is  included  in  delivery  with  the  CONNECT 
REVERSE 3. 

Mesh back section 

The back section uses mesh fabric to optimise 
seating  comfort.  This  ensures  optimum 
pressure distribution for your back and good air 
circulation. 

Shoulder attachments 

A radio can be attached using the wide strap on 
the right shoulder. 
There  is  an  extra  pocket  on  the  right  shoulder 
for a security/emergency card. The red rubber 
band  can  be  used  to  secure  a  credit  card 
format card. 

Pockets 

Rear compartment 

The  CONNECT  REVERSE  3  has  a  generously 
sized and aerodynamically shaped rear section. 
There is an attachment point for trekking poles 
next to the main compartment. 

Hydration system compartment 

There  is  a  compartment  for  a  Streamer 
(hydration  system  bladder)  between  the  back 
section  and  the  pilot  (Fig.  4).  It  is  also  ideal  for 
storing spare clothes etc. The hydration system 
can  remain  in  this  compartment  in  both  the 
harness and the backpack mode.  
The compartment has a Velcro strap to attach 
the  Streamer. The  drinking  tube  is  fed  through 
a  separate  opening  out  of  the  compartment.  It 
can  be  fed  through  special  openings  on  the 
shoulder  straps  in  both  harness  and  backpack 
mode.
