Protection, Reimagined

The Progress 4 is equipped with a new inflatable protector that provides extended protection up to the upper lower back. More compact for transport, it inflates quickly thanks to the FLOWBAGsystem, ensuring simple and effective deployment before every takeoff. An electric pump is also available as an option.

This new design combines a high level of safety with a compact footprint, without compromising on comfort.

Comfort you can feel from the very first moment

Every component of the harness has been optimized to reduce fatigue and enhance the flying experience.

The new backrest provides precise back support, while the ergonomic thigh supports naturally distribute the load. Roll stability is remarkable, delivering a smooth, confident ride while maintaining excellent control precision.

Whether you're riding a thermal or making a series of long transitions, the Progress 4 offers the perfect balance between stability and freedom of movement.

The adjustable chest strap allows pilots to fine-tune the harness's performance to suit their individual preferences.

A backpack designed for the mountains

The Progress 4 doesn't just stand out in flight.

Its detachable backpack features shoulder straps inspired by trail running, offering excellent comfort and quick access to essentials thanks to its built-in pockets for a phone, soft flask, or small accessories.
