LINK PILOT: SHARE THE CONNECTION

LINK harnesses are a light and comfortable tandem harness pair, ideal for professional and leisure flying. Thoughtful design features including an easy-tilt seat on the PASSENGER for effortless transitions from standing to seated and a lightweight honeycomb seat boards. It has comfort handles for the passenger to hold onto, and an instrument mount on the back is ideally placed in the pilot’s field of vision. The PILOT harness has split legs.

For protection, the PILOT harness can be ordered with either a 17.5cm foam protector or a weight-saving airbag. The LINK harnesses are made using top quality lightweight materials and components. If well looked after they offer good longevity but as with all lightweight products, they must be treated with care.

The inbuilt reserve container has a 210cm webbing bridle, and the reserve handle can be positioned on either the right or left side. There are interchangeable and removable underseat protectors – an airbag and a foam version – which attach to the base of the harness using Velcro straps. The protectors are very quick and  easy to attach and remove. The harness is only certified with one of the certified protectors in place.

The LINK PILOT is a tandem harness for non-motorised paragliding. It should not be used for skydiving, Base jumping etc. It is suitable for towing if a certified tandem towing release is used. There are no separate attachment points to  mount a towing release. Before mounting a towing release, please check the towing release manual.

Target

The LINK PILOT and LINK PASSENGER are lightweight, robust, comfortable, and safe harnesses for professional and recreational tandem pilots who want the best equipment for their tandem setup. Designed to fit seamlessly together the LINK series have vibrant matching colours, innovative features, and essential standardisations.

Designer’s notes

Tandem paragliding provides different things for different people, but one thing that’s constant is, it’s always about sharing an experience. Professional tandem pilots have the honour of giving lots of different people their first ever taste of gravity-defying liberty; the first time their feet have ever swung free in the air and soared above the landscape. For others, it’s a regular partnership. A parent and offspring, couple or friends, sharing adventures for the umpteenth time.

Every pilot wants their passenger to revel in the awesomeness of the flight. Whatever their shape or size, whether they are nervous or excited or just plain blown away with it all, what they must be is comfortable and secure. The LINK harness series are designed as a pair to fulfil the needs of both pilot and passenger. It’s a shared thing. The LINK series is thought-through and loaded with features to make all your tandem flights comfortable, safe, and fun.
