Ozone have released an update to their Forza XC paragliding harness: they say the Forza 2 is the highest performance traditional-fairing harness they have flown.
It was tested in a wind tunnel and Ozone say it was designed for performance and comfort for long flights. A large rear fairing improves the glide and stability, and it has a back rest which is made of different-density foams, designed to “support every part of the pilot’s back”. The anatomically-sculpted seat has a small seat plate to offer rigidity and weightshift-control.
Passive safety was a major consideration, and Ozone say the “massive” back protector and “low-profile but effective” seat protector give good coverage. There are two reserve compartments with magnet closure systems.
Ozone say that sustainability was a factor in the material choice, and the Forza 2 is very durable and easy to repair with as much Bluesign-labelled fabric as possible used in the design.
The Forza 2 is available in three sizes, S, M and L.
