Description
Product Overview
The Cross Country Women's Speed Top Pro is a professional-grade Lycra garment designed specifically for female competitors and XC pilots. Developed by Brett Hazlett and refined by competition team pilots including Violeta Jimenez, this speed top is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern paragliding. It is particularly effective for pilots flying fully enclosed, fully-faired competition harnesses such as the Submarine, where minimizing drag and maximizing pocket utility are critical.

- Functional Storage: Equipped with a zipped radio/tracker pocket on the front left and an easy-access snack/camera pocket on the front right, both featuring security loops.
