You didn't mention the speedbar much. I find the speedbar incredibly hard to find and requiring a lot of strength on the Easiness 2. Is this any better?
Breeze2 or Easiness3…what shall I pick. Had a Progress3 a really comfortable harness, sold it for more security an bought a Sucess5 and now i need comfort and security splitleg😆 for mustasch and miniwing…should have kept the Progress3….
So easiness 3 or breeze2? What is best for that?
Thanks for the review ! What whoud make you buy the easiness over the wani light 2 ?
Can you compare the Easiness 3 and Skywalk breeze on just the flying comfort? Also are they similar pack size when folded up if the Easiness isn't in backpack mode?
Great review on both these harnesses.
Very good review, I am a big fan of your videos. Keep up the good work. The direct comparison between the Breeze and the Easiness 3 would interest me also very much. Just the length of the Legpads, I am 1.86 cm tall, and the controllability by weight shift.

Very nice review! I’m not a big fan of the altirando I think it’s a bulky ugly harness that is kinda junk. This Advanced looks great! One thing you didn’t touch on was how they compare on price. I think I still like my Ozium better for a light weight harness but I do wish the Ozium had a bigger back pocket. I can just fit my rucksack and concertina bag in there...
thanks again and safe flying!!!
Hey Kevin, I don't mention prices because we have a global audience and it's going to be different for everyone, also prices change but the video is fixed. All the info is on our website for comparison.
Thanks for the response!
It’s Advanced, so it’s not gonna be cheap 😆.
I love what you guys do, keep up the good work buddy!!
@@kevincanfly look at the Nova Montis, you can get it under 500€
@@kevincanfly current Advance EASINESS 3 info and prices on our website flybubble.com/advance-easiness-3
@@E620SE If price is the main concern then the original Kortel Kruyer II flybubble.com/kortel-kruyer-ii with Kortel Sak II flybubble.com/kortel-sak-ii work out cheaper than the Nova Montis. The Montis was manufactured for Nova by Kortel Design and is essentially a Kortel Kruyer II with Kortel Sak II with some small changes and different colours.
Also Advance recommends it for passenger use in Tandem flights
Whilst I agree that the EASINESS 3 can be used as a tandem passenger harness--like it's predecessor, the EASINESS 2--and it works pretty well for this purpose, I find that a dedicated tandem passenger harness works better, as you'd expect. The Supair tandem passenger harnesses are popular and work well: flybubble.com/shop/harnesses/tandem-paragliding-harnesses/tandem-passenger
No trekking pole straps or did I miss that? ( PS another great review keep the vids coming!)
it depends on the dimensions of your poles, there are two base loops, an elasticated loop and another securing loop, plus loads of pockets ...
Nice review! I have the Advance Progress 3 and don't really see any need to upgrade at this point. Do you have any videos reviewing/recommending a cockpit to store various devices on while in flight (eg Flymaster, etc)? This is going to be my first one and not really sure what to get or which devices I should be using.
Have you looked at Advance cockpit carry?
Great review @flybubble. How would this good speed flying / mini wing coastal dune soaring. ?
I have the E2, its literally perfect for that sort of thing, its what mine mostly gets used for.
In the Progress there is a foam skeleton for the airbag, does the easiness have the same foam?
No, see EASINESS 3 info for more details about this flybubble.com/advance-easiness-3
what is your recommendation about using front mounted reserves on harness like this or the breeze, that have an integrated reserve container? this way I can have only one reserve that switches between mountain and normal harness
It's no problem to do this this if you want to. Advance have designed the Frontcontainer Zip Light with their EASINESS and STRAPLESS harnesses in mind, but this can also be used with other harnesses. flybubble.com/advance-frontcontainer-zip-light but some others are suitable too flybubble.com/shop/accessories/reserve-outer-containers
I like the Nova Montis much more :D even lighter, much cheaper und nice rucksack functions
I also quite like the Nova Montis, although it's not the same kind of harness as the EASINESS 3, which has more padding and features e.g. integrated reserve container. Personally, I find the EASINESS 3 far more comfortable; this is especially noticeable on longer flights. Each to their own!
@@flybubblecarlo with the Montis it really depends on the shape of your body. If it fits, flights with 2 hours or longer are noch an big problem. but you can't adjust a lot
The Montis was manufactured for Nova by Kortel Design and is essentially a Kortel Kruyer II flybubble.com/kortel-kruyer-ii with Kortel Sak II flybubble.com/kortel-sak-ii with some small changes and different colours. If you really want to save some money then the original Kortel versions work out cheaper than the Nova version.
ps. Since Kortel have now announced the Kruyer III we have a new Kruyer II size L in stock on sale flybubble.com/kortel-kruyer-ii-l We also have the Kortel Sak II in stock flybubble.com/kortel-sak-ii at the moment.
You mention this harness is good for XC. It didnt sound very convincing!
The EASINESS 3 is surprisingly comfortable for a light hike&fly mountain harness--even more so than it's predecessor, the EASINESS--and they can be used for flying XC, however of course they are not as comfortable as harnesses which are designed with XC flying in mind e.g. full fat standard harnesses flybubble.com/shop/harnesses/standard-paragliding-harnesses and pod harnesses flybubble.com/shop/harnesses/pod-paragliding-harnesses
Also a full-fat reversible harness like the Advance PROGRESS 3
flybubble.com/advance-progress-3 is more comfortable and offers more protection and features.
I'm a fan of your CZcams videos and a paragliding beginner.
Because you seem to be a sensibel person to me who is valuing his health I'm wondering if you can tell me a bit about your attitude on the risks to get harmed in flying.
What made me sceptic was reading this article:
