SLT Harness with LOW Hook-In Points MKII

null
Paramotor Harness
SuperLight (SLT) paramotor harness is the most advanced and feature packed paramotor harness on the market.
It is also the only fully certified paramotor harness on the market, having passed both EN and LTF standards, including strength and protection tests.
Designed for the optimal balance between maximum comfort and minimum weight, it will suit pilots who demand the absolute best.
The SLT Low will fit most low attachment paramotors on the market today, improving safety, ease of use and overall flying experience.
This new generation improves on all aspects of the harness.
The shape has been refined for additional comfort. A larger front flap has been incorporated for easier running and more support during flight.
Seat weight has been reduced using a lightweight polycomb material for the seat board and front flap.

Improved safety features have been incorporated, taking into account different frame geometries.

The shoulder scuff guards are replaceable – For paramotor manufacturers there is a custom branding option for these.

The main options available for SLT Low:
  • Emergency parachute container can be zipped on either the left or right side of the harness.
  • Additional accessory pocket can be zipped on either the left or right side of the harness.
  • Safety straps attach to the CG (Center of Gravity), running under the seat – will protect in case of any side arm failure
  • Ball bearing speed bar pulleys (smoother, lighter use of speed bar)
  • Paramotor pod compatible
  • Paramotor airbag compatible
  • Replaceable shoulder cover for custom branding
  • Replaceable abrasion resistant shoulder cover for wear and tear replacement – pull start cable damage
  • Fuel gauge mirror.
  • Wonderbar (speed bar)

    Sizing
    The SLT Low harness is offered in two sizes with several adjustments to fit most pilots:

    Variable length of the back – adjusted by opening or closing a zipper on the bottom back of the harness. This adjustment typically accommodates taller pilots and also lowers the position of the pilot compared to the frame hanging points for a more reclined body position.
    Harness to swing arm attachment point has 2 optional heights to be chosen according to frame geometry and pilot size. The lower point will result in a more reclined seat and will typically accommodate shorter pilots.
    The higher point will result in a more upright position and easier exit from the harness, typically accommodates taller pilots.
    Adjustable length of other parts including shoulder straps, side strap, front flap, legs, chest and waist straps.

    It is highly recommended to use reserve parachute on any flight. APCO offers a range of Mayday parachutes, compatible with the specifically designed Emergency parachute compartment which can be Zipped on and off either side of the harness and is interchangeable with a zipped on Pocket.

    The safety webbing will save the pilot in case of side arm failure – it is connected under the seat, vertically aligned on the same load vector as the carabiner to retain the same seating angle in the case of such a failure.

    Optional Airbag will provide additional protection in case of impact with the ground.

    What does Certification cover in a PPG Harness?

    Unlike other harnesses on the market which may have been load tested for strength, this certification confirms all main parameters of the harness, including:
    • Constructional Strength
    • Reserve Container safety and proven deployment sequence functionality
    • Airbag protection
    Constructional strength – using a dummy the strength of the harness, mainly the webbing structure, was confirmed to hold loads of up to 15G for a pilot weight of 120kg. This practically means that in case of an accident or reserve deployment, the harness can hold a load of 1,800kg!
    Reserve container – our zipped-on emergency parachute container was tested and approved for proper reserve deployment sequence even in high G force emergency situation. The purpose of the test is to prove that even if the pilot is caught in an extreme spiral or any other emergency situation, he can still reach the handle and deploy the reserve parachute without any failure throughout the chain of: reserve handle =>opening of the external container =>pulling out the internal container=>extension of the reserve bridle out of the routing sleeve. From here on if emergency parachute used is certified then all aspects of the deployment sequence are covered.
    Airbag – the difference between walking away from an accident to breaking your back!
    Our airbag was proven to perform with outstanding results. The test measured a G rating of less than half the required amount for certification within the strict requirements of both EN and LTF (German) certification.

    What type of safety webbing do I need?

    Choosing your Safety Webbing:
    For Low swing arms (PAP, PXP, Kangook, Flyproducts. etc.) – Safety webbing short, 12 mm dyneema webbing (CODE : 80041)

    For Mid swing arms. (S-bars, ParaJet, Kangook Swan neck, etc.) – Safety webbing long, 12 mm dyneema webbing (CODE: 80042)

    Choosing your Karabiner connector webbing:
    For Tube Arms (MiniPlane, R.UltraLight, Air-Conception – typical tube diameter 25 mm)  Carabiner Loop, 12 mm dyneema webbing (CODE: 44704)

    For for CNC Arms or Omega Shackle Connector (Fly Products, PXP, ParaJet, Kangook, Scott, Yooda) – Figure 8 connection for side arms with carabiner, 25 mm polyester webbing (CODE: 80049)

    Notes to ensure you have the correct setup:

    Always do a hang check prior to flight.

    If your Safety webbing is too short:

    • It will limit the side arm range of movement, reducing weight shift ability.
    • It will make it harder to get into the seat after takeoff.
    • It may alter the Hang / Thrust Angle

    If your Safety webbing is too long:

    • In case of asymmetric arm failure, there will be a large difference in carabiner heights between the 2 sides, leading to a dangerous weight shift turn.

    How do I install the Safety Webbing?

    What are the Sizing Options for the SLT?

    Two different sizes – extremely versatile achieved through an innovative zip sizing system, combined with dual height hang points.
    Taller pilot use the upper hang points with the zip open, and shorter pilots use the upper hang points with the zipper closed.
    In this version of the harness, we have moved the zip to the outside (rear), for increased comfort.

    For the right size for you, please refer to the APCO sizing table and consult with your frame manufacturer and instructor.

    I am a Paramotor Manufacturer, what are the customisation options for the SLT LOW?

    Custom Logo and branding is now easier than ever.
    The shoulder cover on the harness is removable so you can apply logo by any method you choose locally at your end.
    The standard shoulder cover has the Apco logo on the right side and the left is clear for your logo to be applied.
    For larger quantities we can also do this for you.
    The Idea is that you order and pay only for the shoulder cover with your logo (small fee)
    We produce and embroidery only the shoulder cover and hold here in our stock for your future orders of SLT LOWII harnesses.
    Once we ship out harnesses to you (any quantity) will replace the standard shoulder cover with the pre prepared Embroidered covers.
    The shoulder covers can be removed or assembled on with a very clean and neat zipper.
    For orders of 40 harnesses or more with custom changes contractual or design, please contact our offices.
     

    Can this harness be used for free flying or ground handling?

    No!

    The reason is that paramotor harnesses are designed to be hung from the middle of the side arms.
    The main harness hook hook up points are connected to the front of the side arms, but using the side arms in reality your hanging point is somewhere in the middle of the side arms.

    Using a paramotor harness main hook up points as the main hang points without side arms will result in harness position in which you are 90 degrees rotated backwards looking straight up to the canopy.
    It is very dangerous and impossible to use in this way.

    Ground handling is possible, but if there will be even momentarily enough lift to disattach the pilot from the ground, you will be flipped onto your back!
    You can to test this out yourself by performing a simple, stationary hang check in a safe environment.

    Attaching the carabiners to any other point in the harness other than the main hang points is also strictly forbidden due to strength considerations of the harness.
