Advance IMPRESS 4: The Accessible Throne
The Advance IMPRESS 4 is the ultimate high-end cross-country harness, meticulously designed for pilots ranging from dedicated leisure XC flyers to top-tier competition professionals. It marks a milestone in harness design as the first fully-equipped pod harness with an aerodynamically optimized rear fairing that doesn't sacrifice portability, fitting easily into any standard paraglider rucksack.
Unmatched Aerodynamics & Versatility
- Revolutionary Dual-Mode: The IMPRESS 4 can be flown with or without its seatboard. Use the seatboard for a sporty, high-stability feel with direct feedback, or remove it for a damped, body-conforming "Cruiser-Feeling." No adjustment changes are required to switch modes.
- Optimized Rear Fairing: Developed through extensive CFD analysis, the tail spoiler features a single, low-diameter air intake with a non-return valve, ensuring a crease-free, streamlined silhouette even during high-speed transitions.
- All-Round SAS-TEC Protection: Your safety is paramount. The pilot's body is surrounded by memory-foam SAS-TEC components that protect against impacts while matching your personal ergonomics.
- Dual Reserve System: Features two integrated reserve compartments (left and right) with an internal partition. It can be configured for a single reserve on either side or a dual-reserve setup for maximum safety.
- Compact Packing: Despite its high-end features, a dedicated folding line across the back makes the IMPRESS 4 incredibly easy to pack, fitting snugly into standard rucksacks—a first for a harness with a tail spoiler.
- Smart Features for Long Flights: Includes a detachable windshield to reduce wind chill and noise, a dedicated Anti-G pocket accessible from both sides, and a 5-liter ballast compartment under the seat.
- Premium Cockpit: A large, easy-to-see instrument panel with magnetic fasteners (operable with gloves) and multiple cable accesses for external battery power.
