Molly McEwin, ParaglidingArt Sup’Air Delight3: Setting a new standard for pod harnesses The Delight3 pod harness is more geared towards cross-country and high performance flying than its predecessors. Its internal structure is stiffer with a better lumbar support, and in line with precise piloting characteristics. Featuring a newly developed speedbag and cockpit, enhanced geometry offering unparalleled level of coring precision and authority, increased levels of passive safety, new cobra buckle system and self-stabilising split leg system, the new Delight3 is bound to bring a smile to your dial. Sizes M currently in stock and other sizes to follow in Oct/Nov. Mark Rossi, Cloudbase Paragliding Sup’Air Pilot: The ideal paragliding helmet The Pilot helmet was specially developed by Sup’Air for paraglider pilots and paragliding schools. It is modern, comfortable and very light. Monobloc construction (in-mould manufactur- ing process) with adjustment dial: one size helmet with adjustable dial headband covering sizes from XS to L. The helmet is only 380g, making it the lightest EN966 air sport certified paragliding helmet on the market. Comfort was made possible by combining minimal shell weight with comfort padding around and atop the head. With a great field of view, the Pilot is a helmet which doesn’t get in the way. The size adjustment dial on the back is very effective for adjusting the headband circumference to suit the pilot’s head size. Ventilation is achieved through an inner air flow circuit with an exterior air intake (14 vents). Closing the chinstrap is actuated by tightening a precise self-locking toothed strap. Releasing the locking mechanism is easily done even with gloves on. The ear pads and inner comfort foam are removable to facilitate product maintenance.
