Supair RADICAL 4: Freedom and Modularity for the Mountains
The Supair RADICAL 4 is the ultimate tool for Hike & Fly purists. Now in its fourth generation, this ultra-light "string" harness is designed to be forgotten on your back during the climb and to provide precise, smooth control during the descent. Its clean design focuses on the essentials—lightness, comfort, and durability—making it perfect for high-alpine missions and vertical slopes.
Versatility on Demand
What sets the RADICAL 4 apart is its modularity. You can fly it in two distinct configurations based on your daily mission:
- Minimalist Mode: Use the harness alone for the ultimate lightweight setup (920g in size M). Ideal for para-alpinism and quick morning flights.
- Airbag Mode: Zip on the optional Reversible Airbag Module to transform the RADICAL 4 into a complete reversible harness. This adds a pre-shaped airbag, an integrated under-seat rescue parachute pocket, and a 62-67L backpack for the hike up.
Precision & Comfort
Despite its lightweight construction, the RADICAL 4 doesn't compromise on flight quality. The back is padded with comfort foam, and the independent leg straps are stiffened with Mylar to smooth out air mass irregularities. This results in a "controlled glide" feeling that is both balanced and precise, responding intuitively to your body's movements.
Key Features
- Ultra-Light Construction: Weighs only 920g (Size M) in its base configuration.
- Optional Reversible Airbag: A modular zip-on system that provides passive safety and a high-quality hiking backpack.
- Integrated Safety: The airbag module features a subcutaneous parachute pocket and shoulder riser attachments.

- Premium Materials: Built with high-durability Dyneema straps and Ripstop nylon for longevity in harsh mountain environments.
- Hike-Ready: Includes pole holders and a removable waist belt on the airbag module version.
