Description
The Advance Lightness 3
The LIGHTNESS 3 offers comprehensive comfort both in flight and handling, and there’s even more protection. A choice of standard or light speedbag results in a wider range of uses; there’s also the option of a windshield, which significantly raises flying comfort on long distance flights. All-embracing comfort.
Redesigned suspension and chest strap geometry distinguishes the LIGHTNESS 3 by its excellent comfort in flight – especially when accelerated – and high stability. The seat shell fits every pilot’s body perfectly, and protects it where necessary. Dealing with the harness on the ground, e.g. speedbag adjustment, is entirely straightforward.
Modular System
The options and configuration choices make this third generation of LIGHTNESS modular and flexible as never before. Considering prepared weight alone, the possible variance of the S size (2.75 kg up to 3.37 kg) suggests a large range of use – for example a several day bivouac expedition or, perhaps, a new cross country record.
Useful Details
The LIGHTNESS 3 incorporates a number of important details, including SAS-TEC back protection, ample back pocket, drink pouch holder, optional speedbag access line, relief tube channel, cockpit power cable access and loops for fixing to the chest strap, and easy-to-move setting balls for adjusting the Standard speedbag length.
Sizes
Please note, we can mix harness and pod sizes if necessary – i.e. if you need a Large sized harness, with a small sized pod.

S+W Verdict:
“We loved the original Lightness, and loved the Lightness 2. The Lightness 3 builds on these two successful harnesses by providing better aerodynamics, more stability on bar, and better back protection.”
