If you're getting into hike and fly and you're not sure what kind of harness you should get, here's a video to help you choose the right one for you. I recommend these types of harnesses only to do hike and fly in non-crowded areas, and in non-thermic and light wind conditions, to minimize the risk of middair collisions, collapses and rough landings. That's what I use these for: just to fly down after a hike. If you fly in any kind of conditions, and crowded places of course you should fly with back protection and a rescue. That's what I do. Let me know if you'd like a video about gear for what I call "ameliorated hike and fly". 😀
please make another video lile this exactly lile this but with every detail including compability (all the stuff that you use listed per combination) and combination able to hold dpuble skin glider or only single skin etc.
One clear (and probably the biggest) disadvantage by far with string harnesses definitely is the missing protection - there's absolutely none. People should also be aware that, at least in Germany and Austria, you loose any insurance if you fly without a certified protector - just wanted to have this mentioned. Save flights Joanna!
Yes, of course the disadvantage of hike and fly harnesses is the lack of protection and that's why I only fly with them in non-thermic conditions and light winds. For me, hike and fly is just a way to exercise and get down quickly. For hike and fly in thermic conditions, I use a proper pod harness with certified protection and rescue. Safe flights to you too and thanks for watching.
Do they insure if you fly without reserve?
@@illlaNot in Germany (and Austria I assume), no.
Also, sometimes hike and fly can sometimes turn ito an XC flight.
Then you definitely need a decent protection, as you don't know where you will land...
There's string harnesses with attachable protection (f.e. Néo String)
Good to see your videos again!
Great video, thanks Joanna!
nice good video thank you
Amazing video! Just what I was looking for! Trying to decide between the Ozone F*Lite 2 and the SkyWalk Sleeve. Ozone takes the Cake as far as being the lightest. But they say not to use the F*Lite 2 with a reserve attached to the soft maillons... Still have to ask them about that. I think as far as durability most string harness are going to have a shorter life span, but if taken care of can probity last for years of safe flying.
I'm glad you liked it and I hope it will help you choose the best option for you. You're right, you shouldn't use the soft links to connect a reserve parachute, in that case, you should use regular maillons. See you in the air!
@@joannadigrigoli What is the reason for not using the soft links? I got the Ozone FLite2 and been flying it (not knowing this) with my reserve attached to my soft links... Appreciatte the answer/reasoning...
Hola Joanna. Disculpa que te pregunte. Estoy interesandome por el parapente recientemente y parto de cero. Me estoy escuchando todos tus podcast, leyendo manuales y preguntando a quien puedo. Los equipos que utilizas en el video tan ligeros permiten coger térmicas y vuelos dinámicos o solo descenso? Me I Teresa el hike&fly, pero no se si permite hacer cross. Gracias y un saludo.
Hola Miguel. Gracias por escuchar el podcast. Sí, los equipos ligeros permiten volar térmico y hacer cross, todo depende del equipo que se escoja. Ya estás haciendo el curso? Tu instructor podrá guiarte para comprar el equipo que se adapte a tu nivel para que progreses con seguridad y te diviertas. En cuanto al hike and fly, es una disciplina bellísima, pero que debe abordarse con precaución porque se vuela con equipo muy minimalista. Saludos!
@@joannadigrigoli aún no estoy con el curso, pero estoy buscando para hacerlo. Consultaré a los monitores a ver que me dicen. Muchas gracias por la información y enhorabuena por tu trabajo. Un saludo.
Do you fly with a rescue? String harnesses look cool but you are not getting any back protection right? Is this a concern for you?
Hi! Of course this is a concern for me, and that's why I choose the conditions I fly in. I don't fly with a rescue, but I never do hike and fly in thermic or windy conditions or in crowded places. That way, risks such as collapses or middair collisions are minimum. Then, I only have to pay extra attention on take off and landing. For hike and fly in thermic conditions, I have a proper hike and fly pod with protection and rescue. Thanks for watching!
Must be fun arriving on the Mountain and unpacking .... A cat.
That would certainly be a fluffing surprise!
