The seatboard is an important part for the comfort of seatboarded harnesses. Advance IMPRESS 4 harness is delivered with a lightweight carbon seatboard.
It is not compatible for other Advance seatboardless harnesses, or any harnesses by other manufacturers. In general, seatboards are only compatible with the specific seatborded harnesses they were specifically designed for.
Sizes
Sizes: S, M, and L.
Order the Advance IMPRESS 4 Carbon Seat Board size to match the harness size e.g. harness size M, carbon seat board size M.
Compatible harness
With and without seatboard
The IMPRESS 4 inherits the genes of the IMPRESS 2 and IMPRESS 3, and is the first serious cross-country and competition harness that can be flown with or without a seatboard, without operating restrictions or readjustment.
- With the seatboard fitted you experience a stiff sports suspension feel: maximum directional stability and direct canopy feedback.
- Without the seatboard the ride changes to a comfortably damped Cruiser Feeling, with the body reassuringly encased in the body-conforming seat shell.
It is a question of personal preference. Comfort remains si- milar in both modes. Without seatboard you lie somewhat lower in the harness and more encased within the seat shell – a comfortable sensation.
Without Seat Board With Seat Board
Removing and replacing the seatboard
The seatboard is pulled out from under the seat surface, or pushed back in and secured with a hoop and loop strap.
Info: When changing between with and without se- atboard configurations the harness does not need significant resetting, but simple readjustment can be necessary. This could also be done after a test flight.
Caution: The arched curved end of the carbon se- atboard must face forward and lie with the curve downwards, as shown down below
