Skywalk CORE: Reduced. To the core.

• Modular ultralight mountain paragliding harness

The CORE is the ultimate lightweight harness, built to meet the high demands of mountaineers and Hike/Climb & Fly enthusiasts. In the development of the harness, which weighs only 410 grams, our focus was on: lightness, stability, intuition, and most of all comfort. And without sacrificing safety. The CORE has a modular design and can optionally be equipped with an LTF91/09-approved PERMAIR protector in just a few steps. It weighs a total of only 800 grams, which makes it the lightest harness with permanent protector on the market and is aimed specifically at Hike&Fly/Race/Athletes.

Modular

The CORE is modular and available in two versions. The PURE Set accompanies you on fast Hike&Fly tours or difficult climbing routes. The optional PermAir Add-On turns the CORE into a PERMAIR Set and offers full protection even before launch. Also, thanks to its ultra compact packing size the CORE is the perfect travel companion and is further more ideal as a passenger harness for Hike&Fly tandem flying.

Intuitive

The CORE eliminates bulky buckles and adjustment straps. The elastic shoulder straps adapt to your size, ensure an optimal fit during the launch phase and rest comfortably on your shoulders in the air. Red and blue marked seams in the loops improve the overview while small SALEWA sling protectors prevent the carabiners from twisting in the straps. In flight, insulation foam in the complete seat and a PE board in the leg loops ensure an extremely comfortable fit and counteract the cold.

Minimalist

The packing size of the CORE is ultra-compact. A small, narrow pocket stores the ultra-lightweight harness and lets you pack it in even the smallest Hike&Fly rucksack with ease. Its unisize covers body sizes from 1,65 to 1,95 meters. That’s all you need.

Skywalk CORE FAQ

How does the harness affect flying behavior?

The CORE is a classic loop harness with a high suspension due to its design. This results in a higher roll stability and damped flying behavior in turbulence. This is very peasant, especially with smaller wings.

Why Unisize?

By deliberately avoiding additional stiffening elements in the harness, it is “free floating” – similar to the hammock principle and thus adapts to the size of the pilot. As a result, a large range of pilots can be covered with one size.

Is the CORE suitable for tandem flying?

The CORE is suitable as a lightweight Hike&Fly tandem passenger harness. However, due to the front-rescue-system it is not suitable for tandem pilots.

Can the CORE be used for winch towing?

Due to the ultralight design the CORE is not recommended as a harness for winch towing.

Why was foam used in the seat area?

Despite its ultra-lightweight construction, the CORE employs a 2 mm thin foam throughout the seat area, which contributes significantly to comfort and thermal insulation. The CORE thus protects you from drafts and cold in the back area, which is especially advantageous after strenuous Hike/Climb&Fly activities.

How does the chest strap adjuster affect flying behavior?

With the chest strap adjuster you can significantly change the agility and roll stability, and you have the possibility to reduce the pressure point on your inner thighs by tightening the adjuster.
