IMPRESS 4 - Accessible Throne

As part of the Coupe Icare the largest annual paragliding trade show opened yesterday in St. Hilaire. On our stand there we present a generous selection of new products for next year. The IMPRESS 4 stands out as a real public magnet; interest in this new high-end 6 kg cross country harness with tail spoiler is huge. The prototype at the show is available for test sit-ins. The IMPRESS 4 light weight and obvious compactness appeals to enthusiastic leisure pilots as well as serious competition pilots. There’s more information here: Info IMPRESS 4

Best possible aerodynamics

Perfect aerodynamics received the highest attention for this High-End harness. The ideal shape results from innumerable CFD analyses in the virtual wind tunnel. An own-design air intake tube of minimal diameter with non-return-valve ensures a solidly inflated tail spoiler. The result is a crease-free, streamlined silhouette for maximum performance.

A place for it in any paraglider rucksack

The especially compact IMPRESS 4 will fit in any normal paraglider rucksack – a new characteristic for a fully-operational cross country harness with a drag-reducing tail spoiler. A folding line across the back makes it convenient and easy to pack in the rucksack.

With or without a seatboard

The IMPRESS 4 boasts another revolutionary feature: it can be flown with or without its seatboard, requiring no special restriction or change of settings. With the seatboard you have a harder, more sporty feeling, conveying higher directional stability and direct feedback from the wing. Without it you can enjoy a comfortable and more damped Cruiser-Feeling, conveniently enclosed in the body-conforming seat shell.
