matt_k Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Miniplanes come with both there own brand harness and supair option. Anyone recommend which one is better?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Generally, you are going to need a large harness (Italians are smaller) and Miniplane haven't been able to get the Sup air harness for at least a year, so you will get a Miniplane one. This is certainly true of the Large size and i am pretty sure it's true for the medium as well. Stuart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I am not qualified to tell you which harness is better, but I bought my Miniplane in April this year with a Supair harness, so it would seem that they are still supplying them. Good luck, Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanman Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I have flown both and there's no difference from the flying perspective. The Miniplane harness (which I believe is actually made by Woody Valley, a well respected PG harness manufacturer) is slightly lighter but the pockets are not as useful as the SupAir. The SupAir also has shoulder reserve attachment points which the original doesn't have (unless things have changed recently). Early original harnesses were supplied with a seat board that was slightly too long however Michel remedied most and I think the issue is resolved in new ones.

t2 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I have tried both, I have the miniplane harness at the moment and its not as easy to get into as the supair. Also you can't tighten the straps in the air. The pockets on the supair are more accessible too. However I dont think there's much difference in comfort. If you have the choice personally I'd go for the supair Teresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
