Discover speed riding and speed flying harnesses : comfort and mobility

Speed riding and speed flying harnesses, although similar at first glance to classic seated harnesses, are distinguished by their specific design, adapted to specific flying practices. At Air et Aventure, we understand that choosing the right harness for your speed riding or speed flying activity can greatly influence your flying experience. That's why we've put together a comprehensive guide to help you choose the perfect harness for your speed riding or speed flying.

Perfect fit for speed riding and speed flying

Speed harnesses are designed for pilots who fly with very small paragliders, generally between 8.5 and 14 m². These smaller dimensions enable greater speed and maneuverability, essential in the disciplines of speed riding and speed flying.

• Speed Riding: The magic of speed riding lies in its practice on snow-covered terrain, offering a unique combination of skiing and flying. Depending on the level of the pilot, it is possible to alternate between gliding on the snow and flying in the air, creating a dynamic and varied experience. The small size of the glider ensures high flying speeds, increasing the thrill of every descent.
• Speed Flying: Unlike speed riding, speed flying takes place on dry ground. This discipline is particularly suited to experienced pilots wishing to fly close to the terrain. However, beginners or those who prefer a less intense experience can also enjoy this sport, thanks to energetic paragliders that allow you to fly at a sufficient distance from the ground to guarantee a better safety margin.

What are the special features of speed flying and speed riding harnesses?

Air et Aventure speed riding and speed flying harnesses are specially designed to ease the transition between sitting and standing positions. This feature is crucial, as it enables the pilot to adapt his or her posture to the activity being practiced (flying or skiing), ensuring comfort and safety throughout the experience. What's more, speed riding harnesses are designed for pilot comfort during the skiing phase, so that the harness does not create any discomfort.

Additional equipment for safe flying

To complete your speed flying equipment, it's essential to have a fast bag that allows you to link runs together seamlessly. At Air et Aventure, we offer bags adapted to the reduced size of speed gliders, guaranteeing practicality and lightness. What's more, as we're well aware of the importance of safety in the mountains, we also recommend the use of probes, shovels, avalanche transceivers and any other safety equipment necessary for safe practice.
