How to fit the rescue on the Hike?
In order to connect parachute to the Hike you need an external container – either side or front container (For this harness usually take 81155SLT ).
In addition you need the 42025: Light Universal harness Bridle
The Reserve should be connected to the intended shoulder attachment points. The harness has Velcro Leads for routing the bridle up to the shoulder attachments.
The container should be placed wherever it is convenient for you on the front or on the side.
What is the bag volume?
The hike Bag is approximately 55 [Ltr].
Enough to fit a regular paraglider and an open face helmet
The quicklink 43121F is not suitable for emergency parachute harness connection!
Intended for use on light harnesses – connecting the wing to the harness only.
Reserve parachute should be connected to designated shoulder connection points.
Mayday 16 SLT, Mayday 18 SLT, Mayday 20 SLT – designed for pilots who wish to keep their equipment extremely light. Weight reduction for SLT was achieved by using state of the art materials – canopy cloth used is PN9 (the last, most sophisticated development in parachute cloth), as well as additional weight saving advanced design solutions.
