Purchase Inquiry Price Quote (Click Here): Swing Brave 4 Harness

You’re sure to be impressed by the one-of-a-kind Brave 4, which features the modular Brave ZIP-ON System, making it the quick-change artist among convertible harnesses.

It takes just a matter of seconds to adapt the Brave 4 for your particular purpose, whether it’s ground handling, speed riding, speed flying, hike & fly or paragliding. It’s light weight, but it still has impressive comfort and durability, and a sleek, minimalist design in whatever mode it is used.

The Brave 4 airbag module is unique for this category of harness. It is attached at seven points, thus forming, together with the harness module, an LTF-certified, compact unit. Its damping values are excellent for this class and compare well with modern standard paragliding harnesses. 

Brave 4: Base mode

The Brave 4 Basic module is a comfortable ultra-light harness, which adjusts perfectly to your body and follows every movement. This mode is ideal for ground handling or quick hike & fly trips.

Brave 4: Speed Riding & Speed Flying mode

The rear storage pocket is approximately 22 litres, which provides sufficient capacity for the most important gear needed by speed riders & speed flyers. Like the previous model, the Brave 4 offers optimum contact to the glider, both with and without skis.

Together with the Brave ZIP-ON backpack module, the Brave 4 becomes a full-featured convertible harness with an extremely functional alpine backpack, which can also be used as a stand-alone backpack. In harness mode, the backpack disappears completely into the rear storage pocket and there is still enough storage space to hold extra accessories.

In backpack mode, it has enough space for standard paragliders up to at least size M when packed compactly, and there are various attachment options for ski and/or trekking equipment.

The ventilated back system makes it extremely comfortable to carry, even on extended trips.

Brave 4:  Paragliding mode

The airbag module is installed in just a few steps and turns the Brave 4 into a comfortable EN/LTF certified convertible paragliding harness.

Nitinol reinforcing rods ensure that the airbag operates perfectly even during the launch phase. If a front reserve and a speed system are also installed, the Brave 4 is the perfect solution for travellers and social pilots who want to be equipped with a small paraglider backpack for all adventures.

The third generation of the classic Connect Reverse series of paragliding harness is now available in four sizes, instead of the previous three sizes.  This makes it even more comfortable for pilots, since the geometry for the different sizes could be further refined to better fit a variety of body shapes.
