DarrenM488 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I'm looking for a ground handling harness. Quite like the look of the Lubin one, but welcome opinions and experiences of those who tried this or others. Will eventually be looking to strap an engine on my back to get airborne, but wanting the ground handling kit to get some practice in.

bingreed Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 There are several trains of thought - new vs secondhand, basic (ie. builders) vs "proper" (ie. paragliding) harness, padded vs unpadded... Personally, I practice my ground handling using a secondhand "proper" Sup-Air paragliding harness - it has some back protection, is fully adjustable, has a couple of pockets for bits & pieces (ie. anemometer) and is comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time. Think I paid £110 for it on eBay including two decent carabiners & postage. I'm glad I invested in a decent harness as I started learning to handle a wing - spent more than one occasion on my arse, as I guess you will too. Nice to have a bit of protection should you be dragged across a field or worse... like most things in life, I guess you get what you pay for. Not planning to sell it anytime soon, but when I do... well, I guess it won't have depreciated much either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I will give you £3 for it. (since you have sat down in it a few times like) SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
