Ozone Submarine: The New Benchmark in Competition Performance
The Ozone Submarine is the result of a multi-year quest to create the most aerodynamic paragliding harness in existence. By fully enclosing the pilot within a pressurized, high-pressure envelope, the Submarine eliminates the drag caused by traditional pod designs. This harness is not just an evolution; it is a technological leap that provides a distinct competitive advantage in glide efficiency, particularly during high-speed transitions.
Revolutionary Aerodynamic Envelope
The standout feature of the Submarine is its pressurized air-tight envelope. Utilizing ram-air intakes, the harness inflates into a perfectly clean, aerodynamic shape that remains stable even at full speed bar. This design effectively "cheats the wind," allowing pilots to maintain higher average speeds and better glide ratios during cross-country racing and world-level competitions.
Precision Engineering & Comfort
Despite its complex appearance, the Submarine is designed for the long-duration comfort required for 8-hour tasks. The internal structure utilizes a 3D Dyneema thread network and carbon stiffeners to provide a rigid, ergonomic seat that eliminates pressure points. The harness geometry offers incredible stability in active air, providing the pilot with the precise feedback needed to fly at the absolute limit of the wing's polar curve.
Pilot-Centric Functionality
The Submarine is equipped with a high-capacity, instrument-friendly cockpit designed for multiple flight computers and backup devices. It features a sophisticated dual-reserve system with easy-access handles, ensuring safety is never compromised for speed. The harness also includes dedicated routing for hydration systems and external battery leads, keeping your setup clean and organized for the most demanding missions.
