{"product_id":"kortel-karver-past-model","title":"Kortel Karver (PAST MODEL)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Karver is the fruit of over a year of development. The initial objectif was to create a speedriding harness by starting from scratch and not just by modifying a paragliding harness to adapt it to this sport. Speedriding being the conjunction of several sports we took inspiration from several existing concepts. The Karver could be presented as being the fusion of a lightweight paragliding harness, a skydiving harness and a kite harness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the Karver is ultimately more than a synthesis of these three things. It is in itself an innovative concept. It is quite simply the first harness without shoulder straps. The purpose of shoulder straps is to take the weight of a harness during the take-off phase. They contribute nothing to the comfort of the harness, the back support being completely independent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Karver is a lightweight harness, thus shoulder straps would be of no utility, so we quite simply removed them. To prevent the harness from slipping and in order to guarantee the safety of the pilot if tipped upside down (a rare occurrence you will agree) we have integrated a lumbar belt into the harness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith use it becomes obvious that the Karver is much more than a speedriding harness. Its astonishing level of comfort, its modularity and the feeling of freedom that it provides also make it ideal for standard paragliding usage for those that do not require back protection at all costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"outil_sommaire_1\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe buckle that fastens the lumbar belt is of the pass through type but of a new generation, easy to fasten and to undo, even wearing gloves. It is no longer necessary to force the buckle through sideways. The same goes for undoing the buckle, a simple movement suffices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThanks to the automatic buckles on the leg straps the Karver is easy to put on in all circumstances even with skis, there are no leg loops to step through.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese automatic buckles are designed to be used in the snow. The red cleat guaranties that the buckle locks correctly and is easily visible, snow is easily removed, and if the buckle were to freeze it would be in a locked position and thus would not compromise the pilot’s safety. Nevertheless it is essential to verify that the buckles are correctly fastened before taking off!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe have developed a rear tandem reserve pocket in response to the demand of professional pilots who absolutely want to benefit from the advantages that the Karver has to offer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"outil_sommaire_2\"\u003eSizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 sizes are available:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eup to 160 cm, size S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efrom 160cm to 180cm, size M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efrom 180cm to 195cm, size L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eabove, size XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"outil_sommaire_3\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluding quicklink:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize S: 1kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize M: 1.1kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize L: 1.2kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize XL: 1.3kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"outil_sommaire_4\"\u003eDelivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Karver is delivered with stainless steel quick-links.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"outil_sommaire_5\"\u003eCertification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEN 165i\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"outil_sommaire_6\"\u003eTechnical Support\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"User Manual and Safety Instructions for Kortel Design harness\" href=\"http:\/\/www.korteldesign.com\/spip\/?User-Manual-and-Safety\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eUser Manual and Safety Instructions for Kortel Design harness\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Mounting the rescue in the tandem rescue pocket\" href=\"http:\/\/www.korteldesign.com\/spip\/?Mounting-the-rescue-in-the-tandem\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMounting the rescue in the tandem rescue pocket\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca title=\"Mounting rescue pocket on the Karver (French)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.korteldesign.com\/spip\/?Montage-de-la-poche-secours\" hreflang=\"fr\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMounting rescue pocket on the Karver\u003c\/a\u003e (French)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kortel Design","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":56664478581118,"sku":"KORTL-KARVER-S","price":248.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"M","offer_id":56664478613886,"sku":"KORTL-KARVER-M","price":248.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"L","offer_id":56664478646654,"sku":"KORTL-KARVER-L","price":248.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"XL","offer_id":56664478679422,"sku":"KORTL-KARVER-XL","price":248.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/2973\/2734\/files\/0_karver34av_copie-3.jpg?v=1764773427","url":"https:\/\/flybubble.com\/products\/kortel-karver-past-model","provider":"Flybubble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
