Skywalk RANGE X-ALPS3 Athlete Version: Pure Race DNA
Originally developed for the world's toughest Hike&Fly race, the Red Bull X-Alps, the Skywalk RANGE X-ALPS3 Athlete Version (AV) is now available to every athlete ready to push their limits. This harness is an uncompromising evolution of the standard RANGE X-ALPS3, optimized for maximum weight savings and aerodynamic efficiency. At an astonishing 1.40 kg, it is the premier choice for competition pilots and high-altitude adventurers where every gram counts.
Ultralight Minimalism meets High-End Performance
Despite its minimalist construction, the Athlete Version maintains legendary flight stability and comfort. The Power Frame distributes load evenly across the seat shell, providing fatigue-free support during long competition legs. The ram-pressure rear fairing ensures a clean aerodynamic profile, reducing drag and maximizing your glide ratio on long XC transitions.
Uncompromised Safety with PERMAIR 2.0
Even in a race-tuned harness, safety is non-negotiable. The RANGE X-ALPS3 AV features the PERMAIR 2.0 protector, which provides full-length protection extending to the back. This air-filled system allows for an incredibly compact pack volume while offering high passive safety from the moment of take-off. The front rescue system is integrated into the pilot's field of vision and includes a specialized lightweight cockpit for essential flight instruments.
