Provide Brand New Advance AXESS 4 Harness Glider with International Warranty
The AXESS 4 has all the basic qualities needed for a beginner and allround harness. These range from easy adjustment, a plain and simple closure system, a safe and reliable riser clip-in procedure to the ease of sitting properly after takeoff – and the important standing-up-again before landing.
The AXESS 4 is built to be robust. It has a seatboard, and the main protector is now joined by SAS-TEC crash protection. For a harness of this sophistication its packed volume is surprisingly small. When packing, the back section folds snugly to the seatboard, and the Air-Foam Hybrid-Protector also compresses when squeezed in the glider rucksack.
As its main protector the AXESS 4 has the removable ADVANCE Air-Foam Hybrid-Model – now in its third iteration. This protector was originally developed for the AXESS 2, and is ready for its full protecting function before any takeoff attempt. Visco-elastic SAS-TEC components are also installed at the sides and up the entire back. These defend the pilot against impacts and pointed obstructions.
The Air-Foam Hybrid-Protector automatically fills with air when the rucksack is reversed into a harness, and under normal circumstances is ready to function after about 60 seconds. For maintenance it can be taken out of its own compartment under the seat shell. For maximum lifespan the protector should not be left compressed for extended periods, and never stored when wet.
Three visco-elastic soft-foam panels – one on each side and the other up the back - protect the pelvis and spine up to the neck. These protective components are made by the SAS-TEC manufacturer in Germany, and can be removed and replaced.
The 3D-designed seat surface gives the AXESS 4 its great comfort. In addition, both protectors and the comfort foam are arranged to support the whole back perfectly – from top to bottom.
Only two buckles make up the ADVANCE harness leg and chest strap Safe-T-Function – easy to see, simple to close.
The AXESS 4 comes with its own carbon speedbar, fitted - ready to go. The speed lines run through ball bearing pulleys in the harness; in place at delivery.
A reengineered, even lighter composite carbon sandwich seatboard (from 284 grams) now has rounded and extremely smooth edges, as well as a state-of-the-art, even stronger fibre alignment pattern.
As an option the AXESS 4 has a small radio pocket, named Radio Pocket Top, which attaches to a shoulder strap. Made of neoprene with netting on the front a zip fastener makes it easy to fit and remove.
A luxury foot stirrup is available as an option for AXESS 4. This component is included in the certification and has a speedbar locator.
The AXESS 4 has provision for a drinks system, with a pocket in the back and drinks tube guide.
The Ronstan speed pulleys have high quality ball bearings. These make a significant reduction in speed line friction forces, giving you an easy-to-push speedbar.
