Detailed description
"Rid'Air team's opinion: The Sock lives up to its name: it's a true sock! You slip it on and become one with the harness. AirDesign has succeeded in creating a lightweight pod (under 3kg) that sacrifices neither comfort nor stability. Its boardless structure offers very intuitive piloting and just the right amount of air mass feedback. It's our favorite for pilots who want to switch to a pod harness without the bulk of a competition machine."
AirDesign THE SOCK: The lightweight pod you won't want to take off
The AirDesign The Sock is a lightweight pod harness designed for daily use, whether for cross-country (XC) flying or hike & fly. Its concept is based on simplified ergonomics and "tailor-made" comfort, thanks to stretchy and robust materials that perfectly conform to the pilot's body.
In flight, The Sock stands out for its exceptional stability for a harness in this weight category. It offers precise yet dampened feedback, ideal for staying calm during long thermal flights. Its two-buckle closure system is simple and secure, preventing any confusion during pre-flight checks.
Safety is not overlooked, with an innovative inflatable protector that allows for significant volume reduction when packed while offering excellent impact test results. Furthermore, it integrates a reserve container under the seat with a very accessible ergonomic handle.
The Sock comes with its inflatable protector, inflation bag, reserve handle, and carabiners. Its compactness when deflated is impressive: it fits into the narrowest carrying bags (like the AirDesign 50L or 70L). Caution: as with any lightweight pod harness, be careful not to wear overly abrasive shoes to preserve the longevity of the pod fabric.
