The DELIGHT was born out of a very specific context: the X-Alps, where every gram counts and where equipment must meet extreme demands. The first generations were therefore harnesses lightweight harnesses , designed for walk & flight competitions.
Line , the product’s philosophy has evolved. The DELIGHT has gradually transformed into an accessible harness , capable of supporting a wider range of pilots.
Since the third generation, the goal has been clear: to offer a reassuring, comfortable, and user-friendly harness. The DELIGHT 5 fully embodies this philosophy.
Previous generations have progressively gained in comfort and features, which has been accompanied by an increase in weight. With the DELIGHT 5, the design team took the opposite approach: reducing weight while maintaining the level of comfort and protection achieved in the previous generation. The result: approximately 450 g lighter than a DELIGHT 4—a nearly 10% reduction—without compromising on durability or the quality of support.
The DELIGHT series is built around a distinctive structure designed to prioritize stability. The seat plate provides clear feedback and firm support, allowing the pilot to stay focused on their trajectory without being disturbed by unwanted movements.
The harness acts as a filter between the pilot and the wing. It smooths out the feedback, delivering a more relaxed flying experience, especially with modern gliders that tend to be highly responsive.
The DELIGHT 5's enveloping cocoon is designed to provide precise and long-lasting support. The seating keeps the pilot securely in place, enhancing the feeling of safety and reducing fatigue on long flights.
This ergonomic design makes it well suited to pilots flying high-performance gliders, as well as those looking for their first cross-country cocoon harness.
The DELIGHT 5 delivers a high level of safety within its category. The full-length PLASTAZOTE© back protector protects the pilot from the neck down to the lower thighs, using high-performance structural foam that is effective immediately after deployment, regardless of the angle of impact. The stability of the structure makes it easier to control the wing when conditions become more demanding.
This fifth generation also marks a step up in terms of details and ergonomics. The DELIGHT 5 features several improvements, including a magnetic cockpit, a speedbag, an optimized reserve pocket, as well as better integration of accessories and more refined finishes.
These improvements allow pilots to stay focused on their flights while benefiting from a high level of comfort.
The DELIGHT 5 is all about balance: the kind that lets you fly for hours without fatigue, builds confidence in demanding conditions, and supports pilots in their cross-country flying.
A harness designed for one simple purpose: to fully enjoy every flight.
