2 DESCRIPTION
The RANGE X-ALPS2 is the first choice for Hike &Fly athletes and XC pilots who want
to go to the limit in competitions or who insist on extremely light gear. It’s detailed design
is tailor-made for pilots looking for the ultimate, safe and amazingly comfortable harness
for XC- and bivouac flights, where every gram counts.
The RANGE X-ALPS was designed by the skywalk development team as a paraglider
harness for paragliding. Base jumping, skydiving or other uses of the RANGE X-ALPS as
a climbing harness with all associated varieties are prohibited and are not the intended
use. The harness is suitable for all pilots who focus on aerodynamic flying and Hike&Fly
adventures.
The geometry of this harness supports the pilot from the first moment in the air while
constantly giving direct feedback to the wing. The leg and chest straps are equipped with
the so-called “get-up safety system” that prevents the pilot from falling out of the har-
ness. The RANGE X-ALPS can be flown with all paragliders as long as the paraglider man-
ufacturer doesn’t require a special harness. Please consult your paraglider manual to see
if this is the case.
