Advance Impress 4 cocoon harness
Advance Impress 4 cocoon harness
The IMPRESS 4 is the first fully-fledged XC harness with an aerodynamically optimized rear spoiler that fits into any paragliding backpack. A premium product that's more comfortable and sophisticated than ever before - designed for the recreational XC pilot through to the long-distance champion and competition pilot.
Perfect aerodynamics
This high-end harness pays particular attention to perfect aerodynamics. The optimal shape was derived using CFD analyses in a virtual wind tunnel, and the air intake duct and non-return valve were specifically developed for this purpose. The result: a smooth, flowline-shaped silhouette for maximum performance.
Fits any standard paragliding backpack
Particularly compact and starting at 6.4 kg, the IMPRESS 4 fits into any conventional paragliding backpack, a novelty for a full-fledged cross-country harness with rear deflector. Thanks to a fold in the back section, it can be folded and easily stowed in the backpack.
With or without board
The IMPRESS 4 achieves a small additional revolution, since it allows you to fly with or without a board, without any hindrance or modification of the settings. With the board, you will feel the firmness of a sport chassis, therefore maximum directional stability and direct feedback from your wing. Without a board, you enjoy the pleasant absorption sensation of a cruiser and you find yourself comfortably nestled in a homogeneous seat envelope.
Technologies & Features
Maximum comfort, full protection
Enhanced protection and more comfort than ever before: In the IMPRESS 4's seat shell, the rider's body is fully integrated into comfortable SAS-TEC elements. These memory foam elements act effectively in the event of impact with hard objects and adapt perfectly to the body's ergonomics. A voluminous foam protection in the seat area and a comfort foam in the back area improve comfort and protection in equal proportions.
A deflector with a stable shape and completely filled
Minimal cross-section for the air inlet and maximum pressure inside the deflector. A contradiction? Not on the IMPRESS 4: a unique lateral air inlet of just five centimeters ensures complete filling of the deflector. Thanks to a non-return valve, even significant changes in the angle of incidence do not cause the deflector to fold or empty.
Easy folding
The particularly compact IMPRESS 4 fits into any conventional paragliding backpack, a novelty for a fully-fledged cross-country harness with an aerodynamically optimized rear deflector. A fold in the back section allows it to be folded and easily stored in the backpack.
Compartments
The IMPRESS 4 has many other practical pockets and compartments.
