Built to last

Normal period of use: 10 years. Caution: This duration of use is indicative. A harness can be destroyed the first time it is used. A check every 2 years will determine whether the product should be disposed of more quickly. Between uses, proper storage is essential. The operating time should never exceed 10 years.

The life of your harness depends on how often and how it is used. Mechanical stress and friction gradually degrade the properties. U.V. rays and humidity can also lead to accelerated ageing.

It's possible to remove the battens, to save storage space and avoid marking them e.g. when traveling.

Kortel Kanibal Race II harness review

"The Kanibal Race II is aimed at all competition pilots who are looking for every bit of performance they can get out of their harness. It is also great for serious cross country pilots who don’t mind the extra weight and bulk compared to a lightweight pod harness. You get more performance and more safety without needing to step up to a hotter glider. It is very well made in every detail, yet one of the lightest in this class.

Overall, the Kanibal Race II is supremely comfortable with excellent aerodynamics and absolutely superb build quality."

The life span of your harness depends on the frequency and type of use. Mechanical stress and friction gradually degrade the properties. UV rays and humidity can also cause accelerated ageing.

Normal duration of use: 10 years.
Warning: This period of use is indicative. A fifth wheel can be destroyed at its first use. A check every 2 years will determine if the product should be disposed of sooner. Between uses, proper storage is essential.

The time of use should never exceed 10 years.
