1.1- Concept
CREST is designed to be used as a harness for sport paraglider flying with a
maximum weight of 120 kg.
CREST is designed for placement in the Hike & Fly category. In less than 2 kg,
we have created a revolutionary reversible harness with high performance
airbag thanks to the use of new construction materials and systems.
The innovative geometry of the strap system and the GET UP safe leg strap
closing system has been designed for easy donning of the harness and for
precise, smooth handling, in addition to being extremely lightweight.
The original reversibility system makes it possible to totally detach the
rucksack from the harness, depending on user preference.
Painstakingly designed in every detail, CREST offers excellent in-flight com
-
fort and can be adapted to novice or experienced pilots by adjusting the
length of the chest strap.
1.2- Protection and safety
CREST uses a shape-retaining airbag, plus it has a new frontal air inlet that
ensures good inflation.
Thanks to the use of Nitinol (highly resistant and super elastic metallic wire)
inserted in the lower edge of the airbag, the CREST airbag is able to obtain
60% of the protective capacity before complete inflation which takes place
in flight. The inflation valve has also been completely redesigned to guaran
-
tee airflow in the airbag regardless of leg position. The new valve improves
airbag performance and aesthetics.
