What does the CONNECT REVERSE 3 look like?  

 

Fig. 1: Diagram of the CONNECT REVERSE 3 

Concept 

The  CONNECT  REVERSE  3  is  one  of  the  latest 
generation  of  paraglider  harnesses.  It  is 
designed  as  a  convertible  harness/backpack 
and  combines  the  usual  high  comfort  level  of 
SWING’s  Connect  range  of  harnesses  with 
outstanding carrying features as a backpack. 
In 

designing 

the 

backpack, 

particular 

importance  was  placed  on  a  high  level  of 
carrying  comfort,  optimal  weight  distribution 
and  a  high  level  of  functionality.  Various 
accessories  allow  the  backpack  to  be 
customised  according  to  the  pilot’s  individual 
needs. 
It  sets  standards  through  its  use  of  a  carrying 
system  which  has  proved  its  reliability  in  alpine 
sports. 
The  harness  design  focused  on  ease  of  use,  a 
high level of comfort and pilot safety. 
The  choice  of  materials  reflects  the  overall 
concept of a top quality product with a high level 
of functionality, but which is lightweight. The  
 

 
harness  uses  mainly  light  yet  robust  ripstop 
fabrics. 
The harness was designed for paraglider pilots 
who are keen on hiking, who go for long flights 
from remote areas and who are wanting 
increased comfort from the optimised carrying 
system. It is extremely comfortable which 
means it is also suitable for anyone looking for a 
top quality harness with practical features and 
compact dimensions.

Safety features 

T-lock 

The CONNECT REVERSE 3 is fitted with a T- lock 
safety system to prevent the pilot from slipping 
out of the harness by inadvertently forgetting to 
do up the leg straps. 
The buckle to do up the chest strap is attached 
to  the  leg  strap  so  that,  by  doing  up  the  chest 
strap, there is already some protection against
