Notice d’utilisation sellette | SKYPPER2

Welcome to the world of paragliding according to SUPAIR, a world of shared passion.

A technically advanced design harness, aiming at the Cross-Country and demanding pilots engaged on

a regular practice. Inspird by the first SKYPPER, this new one is outfitted with a cocoon in addition to a

standard ergonomically fitting efficient top to bottom back protector with a reasonable weight and size

for a high performance and precision.

Accurate feedback without parasitic instabi lity, enables precise and efficient steering.

It was designed with schooling and fun in mind to provide full comfort and a worry free learning curve.

The SKYPPER2 harness was certified EN 1651 : 1999 et LTF Nfl II 91/09.

Indicating that it meets European and German safety requirements.

After reading this manual, we suggest you to check your harness in static hang-posts to adjust it before

your first flight.
