AXESS 3 AIR - Compact Allrounder
The AXESS 3 AIR is a very light and comfortable compact harness, with a Hybrid Airbag. As a genuine allrounder this harness is ideally suited for both leisure pilots and beginners. The AXESS 3 AIR makes pure enjoyment of hours-long thermaling flights.
Easy handling
Much freedom of movement on the ground and easy sliding back into the seat after takeoff – these are two of the strengths that show off the AXESS 3 AIR. In addition, redesigned harness geometry makes adjustment simple, and improved back support offers excellent comfort.
Compact & light
The AXESS 3 AIR has an exceptionally small packed volume, due to the highly compressible Hybrid Airbag. Delivered with a carbon seatboard as standard, this allround harness has an impressively low weight of around 3.5kg. The AXESS 3 AIR’s elegant look is a result of ADVANCE 3D design technology.
Always ready
The Hybrid Airbag automatically takes on its working shape and full volume immediately after unpacking. The foam framework inside the protector makes sure that it directly and independently fills with air while still on the ground – without the need for continuous airflow. This novel system provides a high level of passive safety, from the first to last moment of your flight.

Flying the AXESS 3 AIR with a foot stirrup
If you want to fly the AXESS 3 AIR or SUCCESS 3 with a foot stirrup, ADVANCE recommend that you use the Advance Foot Stirrup which has been specially designed for them. It is the only stirrup to have been included in the LTF 91/09 testing process.
The high attachment point gives you maximum comfort. Your legs are supported without effort and you can better enjoy long flights. The fastening at the seatboard area and the elastic webbing make it impossible for the stirrup to get caught up with the reserve.
ADVANCE recommends that only the ADVANCE speed system is used when the foot stirrup is fitted. Connect the stirrup with the speed system as explained in the harness manual; the speedloop will then always be easy to pick up with a foot in flight.
Tip: A combined stirrup and speed system always makes it easy to pick up the speedbar in flight.
