About gliders, harnesses, reserves and all the rest...

Take off weight - is this information important?

Is it important to know TOW min and TOW max for any paraglider before purchasing it? I mean, this information (TOW min, TOW max) is available for wings like U-Turn blackout, Icaro Nikita III, whereas AirG Emilie Peace 2 does not share this information (as per this websites Technical Details page or their manuals, for each of the mentioned paragliders)? My takeoffweight is 87 kg (= body weight + harness + paraglider + helmet + etc.).

D-Bag attachment on Base Harness

Hi.
On the Ava Acro Base harness, what is the best place to attach the D-bag for you (to jump from the tandem-paraglider)?
The 3-ring system doesn't have enough space for the paraglider and D-bag.
Thanks very much and happy flights

WV Base Harness

One of those dang disappearing instagram "story" things via Aaron Durogati a week ago had an image of a WV base harness.
WV and Aaron are both tight lipped about any details other than that Aaron was capturing video for an upcoming promotional video of the harness.

Did anyone happen to be at Garda during the filming and were they able to get a good look at the harness or tease any info out of Aaron or the WV crew?

Hike n acro harness

Hi y'all,

I am looking for a harness that is smaller and lighter than usual acro harnesses, prefarably reversable, but hopefully still strong.
It is meant for traveling and dunes where a big heavy Acro3 is not so easy to handle.
I broke a lightweight hike n fly harness last year and nearly shit myself :-D
Only having one reserve inside would be ok, adding a front container when doing acro.

Do you know/recommend a harness like that?

Thanks for your input.
