Detailed description
"Rid'Air Team's Opinion: The Lightness 4 is not just an update; it's the culmination of a legend. Advance has achieved the impossible: further improving comfort and stability while maintaining the elegant silhouette of the lineage. The new cockpit is a model of ergonomics, and the rear fairing adds a touch of performance without the bulk of a competition harness. For us, it's the best versatile pod harness on the market."
Advance LIGHTNESS 4: Premium Comfort, Lightweight Design
The Advance Lightness 4 is the worthy heir to a lineage that redefined pod flying. Designed for demanding cross-country pilots, it offers an exceptional level of comfort for long flights, while remaining compact and lightweight for transport. This version 4 introduces a re-engineered geometry for increased stability and even more intuitive handling.
Seating comfort has been optimized thanks to high-density back support and perfect load distribution. The new, more spacious cockpit can accommodate the largest instruments while remaining perfectly readable. A discreet but effective rear fairing stabilizes the harness in yaw, improving glide performance during accelerated transitions.
Passive safety is ensured by high-performance foam protection and an under-seat reserve system optimized for rapid deployment. The Lightness 4 remains true to the "no seat board" concept, offering that direct feel with the air mass while filtering turbulence to reduce pilot fatigue.
The Lightness 4 comes standard with the Lightpack DLS carrying bag. It's a high-end harness that requires precise adjustment on a hang test rig to unlock its full potential. It is aimed at pilots who already have experience with pod flying or wish to transition to this type of harness with the best possible equipment.
