SKYPPER 2: Comfort & Precision, High Passive Safety & Fully Featured

The SKYPPER 2 is quite different from the first Skypper harness. Key points of the development process were: better stability in rolling motions (steering without tipping), greater comfort for long technical flights, new, reliable and easy-to-use rescue parachute container under the seat, new fully integrated speedbag with a straight line and the possibility to equip the harness with a second rescue parachute.

The SKYPPER 2 frame was designed to work with and be adapted to high aspect ratio wings for stable, precise buffered steering during technical flights while still benefiting from enough onboard comfort to make it an enjoyable experience.

The reserve parachute container is fully closed with a zipper. The locking mechanism is done by two hidden safety pins: nothing to snag, all is well-enclosed and smooth on the harness.

Supair SKYPPER 2 paragliding harness reviews

“The SKYPPER 2 offers top-of-range features with a focus on safety and comfort for ambitious XC pilots who don’t want the high weight, bulk or cost of full competition harnesses.”

- Carlo Borsattino, Flybubble (full review)

Watch our SKYPPER 2 video review (NB: the only size SKYPPER 2 available at the time of filming this video was size M which, as you can see in the video, is too small for Carlo. He's since changed to using the size L, which is a better fit.):

I found the SKYPPER 2 very comfortable, really supportive on the back, hips and legs. It sports many great features, and a generally well thought out design.

The SKYPPER 2 offers great in-flight comfort and control, what you want for long XC flights in challenging conditions! Its details are well-optimised for ambitious XC hounds, rather than high-end competition pilots, which seems right. The flight deck is excellent. Large enough... It sits at just the right angle.

With features you’d usually only expect to see on a full competition harness—provision for two reserves; large cockpit; ambidextrous drag chute pocket; high stability and control; etc—the SKYPPER 2 is actually pretty light for what you get.

In summary, the SKYPPER 2 is well-suited to ambitious yet safety-conscious XC pilots who prioritise comfort, handling, safety and functionality over skimping on weight and out-and-out performance.
