1.1- Concept
Following the success of the first model, the new version of the X-Alps GTO includes a number of improvements and new technical features
designed to improve the safety and pleasure of flying, while at the same time maintaining the lightness, comfort and control requirements
that have always distinguished Woody Valley products.
The geometry of the load-bearing structure, combined with its active piloting, render it fully capable of satisfying the needs of a wide range of
pilots, while even ensuring ease of transport thanks to its exceptional lightness, and all in full compliance with the LTF protocol.
Leg-straps and chest straps are fitted with the ‘‘GET-UP safety system,’’ and with the innovative ‘‘Mini T-Lock system’’ that prevents the pilot
from slipping out of the harness in the case that he or she has forgotten to fasten the leg straps.
1.2- X-ALPS GTO protection
The X-ALPS GTO harness is fitted with new LTF-certified dorsal protection with a 12 cm layer of foam.
1.3- Mini T-Lock System
The Woody Valley team has renovated its previous DRC system by developing a new mechanism that’s aimed at addressing the issue of
forgetting to fasten the chest and leg straps. The system includes two females buckles attached to a load bearing carabiner, and another
attached to the leg-cover’s closure element; the central element that allows for the buckles to be fastened is attached to the leg strap: in this
manner, in order to properly close the leg-cover, the pilot is required to grasp the leg strap, and is thus reminded to close it.
The new system offers improved manageability and a more intuitive interface, and can even be used even while wearing gloves.
