- Oh, it's a Supair EVO Lite.
It's got quite a big seat plate area,
very firm inside the harness.
It's kind of firm foam on either side,
and structure that supports you on the sides,
and along upper back.
Got a decent-sized pocket on this side.
I've got my whole stabiliser camera in there.
And the normal sort of straps layout that you'd expect.
Nice and tidy reserve set up on the side here.
It's got seven leaves that you put together
to tie together in a good position.
Feels pretty secure,
nicely trapped by this little stretchy layer here.
So, it's gonna stay in position nicely, I think.
And a pretty deep foam protection,
quite compressible,
so it's really nice for packing the glider away.
It compresses down nicely,
but it gives you good protection, I think.
Runs all the way round to about there.
And then there's still some foam up the top,
like you can...
Leg strap there
(buckle clicks),
with the quick buckles.
(buckle clicks)
One thing to be aware of in this style of harness,
is you need to tighten these up more than you expect
to keep the harness from sliding off.
So, these need to be tight.
(buckles click)
I've got it set up with a stirrup,
and the speed bar just behind it like that.
So, you might like to launch with a stirrup,
you just put it like that,
and it's easy to run off and hook into your stirrup,
doesn't get in the way.
These straps are very easy to adjust,
pull that down there.
This little tab here,
you release it.
It goes both ways.
So, very easy, very comfortable.
Hook straps on the side here to adjust the angle,
and one there which lifts the seat board up slightly,
keeps your legs in.
But if you put the stirrup on,
then you don't need to lift that up so much,
and it's a little bit more comfortable
for flying for a long time.
But the EVO Lite is pretty comfortable on the ground.
It's not restricting my movement in any way,
even with the leg straps done up pretty tight,
it's comfortable to run around on the slope.

Supair EVO Lite.
Okay, just had a good two hours up there in the sky.
Yeah. Lovely harness.
Very nice, comfortable,
and it was holding me nicely in a great position.
It was easy to adjust in the air.
So, if I needed to change things, I could.
It was quite comfortable on the stirrup for gliding.
That was quite nice.
And I felt, actually, when I went into thermalling,
it was nice to drop the stirrup,
and just to sit with one leg over the other.
I love that feeling.
Gives you a nice, quick turn.
And I felt the harness was secure.
It wasn't restricting my movement,
but it certainly didn't feel
like I was flopping around in the sky.
It felt like it was holding me nicely.
Fairly nicely balanced.
I wasn't sliding around in the harness at all.
Getting in and out was pretty easy.
The only thing you must remember to do
is do your leg straps up tight.
So, overall I love the finish,
lovely fabric they've used here.
It's kind of a slippery, but it looks very durable.
It's a nice styling on it.
It does compress reasonably when you pack it,
which is quite nice,
so that you can actually get it into a normal bag.
And you've got a big volume in the back to pack bags, lunch,
and whatever else you have in there.
So, it's a very good choice as a first harness,
coming outta school,
you wanna get something that you gonna have your legs free,
and you can run around on the slope easily,
but it allows you that freedom that when you want to
you can add the pod,
and you can step up to being full cross country mode.
I certainly felt that in the cold conditions,
it would've been nice to have had the pod on,
but it was certainly very comfy flying it legs free,
and it's a good all-round harness,
nicely made.

Okay, got the stirrup guards.
(wind rustling)
And off we go.
