Woody Valley Race with Semi Rigid Protection. The RACE is a super light harness born from the evolution of the RACE PRO, which is the most "extreme" version used by Woody Valley athletes in the main hike & fly competitions. Woody Valley managed to come up with this product also thanks to the help of Aaron Durogati and several other pilots who have been flying this harness intensively and provided us with precious feedback and suggestions. The RACE is suitable for hike & fly, bivouac and XC pilots.

PRS weight - semi rigid/deformable protection

Note: Light materials make the RACE subject to damages due to misuse. The more carefully you use it, the longer its life span is going to be. Light products will always be more delicate than their heavier counterparts.

Flybubble Note: Ultra-light gear must be handled with care to extend its lifespan. Mechanical stresses and improper handling can cause faster wear and tear compared to standard-weight gear. Designed for hike and fly activities, ultra-light gear prioritizes weight savings over durability and other factors. To avoid damage, refrain from extreme activities or excessive ground handling. Gentle treatment is crucial for longevity and safe operation.

Woody Valley Race with Semi Rigid Protection: Ultra light and performing.

New stabilization system

New stabilization system of just 89 grams allows you to change the harness geometry without taking your hands off the brakes.

If you are not interested in using the stabilization system, their advice is not to remove it but to simply hide the lines into the strategic pocket.

New protection concept

When developing the Race Pro (the extreme version) Woody Valley needed to create a high-performance, super light protection that would be as compact and streamlined as possible. This is when the new concept of semi-rigid protection (PRS) was born and then applied to the Race.
