Dudek have a new range of harnesses, which use a reduced elastic seat plate design, so somewhere between a seat plate and a hammock style which Dudek say is the best compromise between comfort and weight. They have 15cm foam protectors and are offered in four sizes.
The Funky is a traditional, non-pod style with a speedbar and footrest. The reserve container is behind the back protection and it weighs 3.25kg in the S size.
The Jazz is similar in design but slightly lighter at 2.95kg, with a front-mounted reserve container.
The Techno is a pod harness. Its front reserve container has an integrated instrument mount, and if the reserve is released the pod also automatically releases for a safer landing. It is 3.35kg (S) with all the extras.
