YOUR OZO
WARNING
P
aragliding is a potentially dangerous sport that can cause serious
injury including bodily harm, paralysis and death.
Flying using Ozone equipment is undertaken with the full knowledge that
paragliding involves 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 is excluded.
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 then don’t fly, and always
add a large safety margin to all your decisions. Avoid flying in rain, snow,
strong wind, and turbulent weather conditions or clouds.
If you use good, safe judgement you will enjoy many years of paragliding.
Remember, PLEASURE is the reason for our sport.
The OZO is a reversible harness / backpack made from ultra-
lightweight materials. It is designed specifically for use with Ozone’s
range of modern lightweight wings, but can be used with any
paraglider.
Two sizes are available; 26L and 33L, weighing in at 560g and
565g respectively. Every detail of the OZO’s construction has been
optimized for weight, and it is one of the lightest available reversible
harnesses today. Although the OZO is extremely lightweight, it is
fully load tested and will last for many seasons of use if properly
cared for.
In the backpack configuration, the OZO is comfortable and stable
on long ascents. Ultra-light, ergonomic 3D foam straps distribute
the load evenly on your shoulders, and there is adequate internal
volume for water, helmet, gloves, etc.
While a certain amount of compromise is unavoidable, we strove to
make the OZO comfortable enough for extended flights. Reinforced
semi-rigid leg supports spread your weight across a wider section
of the harness than other ultra-lightweight mountain / descent
harnesses, making soaring and XC flights comfortable. All leg and
shoulder straps are fully sewn and buckle free. The harness is
adjustable in the air and on the ground.
Sizing
The two sizes of the OZO (26L & 33L) refer to the volume of the
backpack compartment, and not to the harness dimensions, which
are the same for both models. The flying harness is available in
one size and fits most pilots comfortably. Choose the size of your
OZO based on your equipment and its total packed volume. We
recommend:
26ltr - XXLite 16 and 19; Ultralight 19, 21 or similar
33ltr - Ultralite 21, 23, 25 or similar
