Chest Strap
The adjustment of the chest strap controls the distance between the carabiners and affects the
handling and stability of the glider. Widening the distance between the carabiners increases
feedback from the wing and allows for easier weight shifting. Closing the strap gives you a more
stable feeling in turbulence but increases the risk of stable spiral and also the risk of twisting!
The chest strap may also be adjusted in flight according to the conditions; for example, it may
be tightened in turbulent air and flown at a looser setting in less turbulent or weak conditions.
To tighten, pull the large red loop to the left (1). To loosen, pull the smaller red strap up and to
the right (2).
Leg Straps
The correct adjustment of the leg straps allows the pilot to easily reach the sitting position
after take-off without using his hands. In the standing position, use the buckles under the chest
strap to adjust the leg straps so that they fit comfortably without being tight; make sure you do it
symmetrically. If you need to lengthen the leg straps, first check that the shoulder straps are not
too tight. It is not normally necessary to make large adjustments from the default leg strap
setting.
To tighten, pull down and away from yourself (3). To loosen push the release button and pull up
on the buckle (4).
WARNING: Always maintain chest
strap adjustments within the
paraglider manufacturer’s
recommended range
