Detailed description
"Rid'Air team's opinion: The Kruyer III is the perfect compromise for those who find the Kliff too minimalist and the Karver too specialized. Kortel has managed to integrate astonishing seating comfort thanks to 3D fabric molding. It's the ideal hike & fly harness: it makes you forget it's there on the ascent while offering real piloting pleasure in thermal flight. A complete success for lovers of lightness without compromising support."
Kortel KRUYER III: Lightness at the service of comfort
The Kortel Kruyer III is the third generation of the brand's renowned mountain harness. Designed for Hike & Fly and paragliding mountaineering, it gains even more lightness while revolutionizing comfort for this type of ultra-light chassis. Its seat has been 3D pre-formed to best fit the pilot's morphology, offering unprecedented lumbar support for a leg-strap harness of this weight.
Its structure relies on high-tech materials, combining resistant fabrics and Dyneema lines. The Kruyer III features the "Konnect" connection system, allowing for easy setup. Its geometry provides great serenity in flight, filtering the air mass while remaining precise for thermalling.
The strength of the Kruyer III also lies in its modularity. It is designed to pair perfectly with the Sak III (reversible airbag backpack), thus transforming a minimalist harness into a complete, comfortable, and secure flight pack with certified airbag protection.
The Kruyer III is delivered alone. For extended flights or to benefit from protection, we recommend pairing it with the Sak III Module. It is compatible with lightweight automatic carabiners or soft-links for gram purists.
