Description
The Advance Lightness 4
Like the LIGHTNESS 3, only better: the successor of the pod harness classic offers even more comfort, easier handling and a sportier look. The fourth generation of the all-round pod harness remains the perfect companion for long and relaxed cross-country flights.
TECHNOLOGY & FEATURES
NEW 3D BODY FITTING
The increased comfort is based on three factors: 3D Body scans are used to adapt the seat shell to real body shapes, and the back is supported even better as the body position in the harness has been shifted slightly forwards. The cushion effect created by the supportive back foam rounds off the concept.
CLOSURE REMEMBER SYSTEM (CRS)
The Closure Remember System (CRS) has been revised and optimised for easier handling. The small number of steps required to close the speedbag minimise the risk of forgetting to close the main strap before take-off. In addition, the buckles are now anodised red, making them even more visible for pre-take-off checks.
35% MORE STORAGE SPACE
The back compartment capacity is 22.5 litres, 35% more volume than the LIGHTNESS 3, while the storage compartment under the seat holds a further 6.5 litres. There is also a new 8 litre space in the speedbag nose.
LIGHTPACK DLS INCLUDED
The LIGHTNESS 4 is supplied with a LIGHTPACK DLS as standard. The two products are perfectly matched and form a compact and very comfortable overall system. With a weight from 620 g, ergonomically shaped shoulder straps and a padded back section, the LIGHTPACK DLS combines low weight with maximum comfort.
REDESIGNED COCKPIT
The cockpit has been completely redesigned and is now even easier to use. For take-off, the press of a button ensures that the contents do not fall out. An additional magnetic catch makes the cockpit easy to open and close in flight. The cockpit panel offers sufficient space and security for your electronics. This new concept does not require volume foam and can be folded up small when packing. The LIGHTNESS 4 is also supplied with a windshield and hook knife.

S+W Verdict:
“We loved the original Lightness, and loved the Lightness 2 and 3. The Lightness 4 builds on these three successful harnesses by providing better aerodynamics, more stability on bar, and better back protection. It’s the classic XC lightweight harness”
