Ozone Sublite: Submarine Efficiency, Hike-and-Fly Weight
The Ozone Sublite brings revolutionary "submarine" aerodynamic technology to the world of hike-and-fly racing. Developed for the Red Bull X-Alps and refined for ambitious XC pilots, this harness delivers exceptional glide efficiency with a sink rate that rivals full racing harnesses. By utilizing a 3D anatomical Dyneema thread network, the Sublite provides a stable, high-performance platform without the weight or bulk of a traditional seat plate.
Submarine-Style Aerodynamics
The Sublite utilizes a low-drag, ram-air envelope to maximize glide performance. The innovative airtight magnetic closure seals the pod automatically and securely after launch, eliminating the turbulence caused by traditional zippers. Despite its technical profile, it remains remarkably user-friendly, offering a "one toggle clip, one zip" entry system that ensures you are ready to fly in seconds.
Ultralight & Robust Construction
Weighing only 1.55kg (size M), the Sublite is a masterpiece of weight optimization. Its chassis is reinforced with a Dyneema network and carbon back stiffeners, providing structured support for long-duration flights. A Nitinol frame nose ensures rapid pod inflation and allows the harness to pack down into an incredibly small volume—measuring just 45cm x 32cm x 12cm even with a reserve parachute installed.
Certified Protection & Intelligent Design
Safety is integrated into the design with a certified 11cm EPP foam protector, offering 42g peak impact protection in a low-profile format. The harness is equipped with a three-step speedbar for precise glide control and integrated Xlite harness-riser connectors to keep the system as light as possible. Storage is optimized for the mountain athlete, featuring a large rear compartment and accessible in-flight pockets.
