Flight Position
Avoid a reclined flight position, as this alters the handling of the paraglider:
your command is shortened and you are more vulnerable to a twist.
The measure of 42cm (M) is premarked
on the chest webbing as a reference.
The easy check measure tape
is included in your harness for
you to set the exact distance

of the paraglider may not correspond to the certification.
Depending on the paraglider size, there is a recommended carabiner distance
to which the paraglider was designed and tested. With
SOL
paragliders you
must fly within these measures. In case you are outside of them, the behaivior

-The pilot must maintain the chest strap distance at the specified measurement
as shown in the manual, therefore the certification characteristics are not altered.
After adjusting the back, the pilot must choose the best body inclination,
respecting a central vertical line. We don't recommend a steep inclination,
so that vision and access to commands are not jeopardized.
The shoulder strap is adjustable, varying according to the pilots' height. For
better comfort, the shoulder straps support part of the dorsal weight.
The chest strap regulates the distance between the two carabiners, which
varies depending on the paraglider's size (verify through easy check measure tape).
The legs' straps adjustment is very accommodating and allows for a wide
range of heights. All
SOL
harnesses are equipped with leg locks, which works
together with the chest strap, making the connection of pilot and harness.
Attention:
Attention:
-The leg setting should not be too tight, to avoid jeopardizing good movement.
-Make sure the setting is symmetric.
