.: Charly best of air - The difference is in the details

The Charly platform principle
Charly's harnesses ZIP, Tube and Air-tube differ in the attachment of the rescue reserve, type of protector and fall out security/locking system. All this you can choose after your personal preferences.
All harnesses have in common the basic harness which is based on the latest knowledges.
It ensures an easy launch and a super-comfortable flight in every desired flight position. Charly harnesses support an active flying style and expand the power spectrum of your hangglider.
Variable and trimmable seating board tilt
The tilt of the seating board is variable andapts itself to different flight positions. The harnesses disposes of a fixation of the seating board tilt with which the basic position of the seating board can be trimmed.
Adaption to different flight positions
The shoulder straps which run through the chest strap or the SIL to the trailing edge of the seat support the adaption of the seat board tilt. By straining the shoulder straps, the trailing edge is lifted: When launching and at the transition to the stretched supine position the seat adapts, the transition launching-/flying-position becomes easier.
Balanced stability characteristics
The harness apparatuses for carabiner and SIL-X dispose of a forked chest strap. Height and type of the chest strap's branching effect the stability characteristics of the harness in turbulences.
With the branching, balanced stability characteristics are achieved with a relatively low lying chest strap.
A low lying chest strap eases the launch of the paraglider.
At the harness apparatus SIL-D, the stability characteristics of the harness in turbulences is adjustable during the flight.
Especially pleasant back support
At all Charly harnesses the hip strap is linked extra high to the SIL or carabiner.
Thus, the back support is optimised and makes heavy reinforcements unnecessary.
Easy to adjust
Especially developed sliding bridges by Charly and correctly sized webbing band make adjustment simple when unburdened and ensure a depandable fixation of the straps when burdened. Neoprene-coverings of the adjustable elements prevent unintentioned slipping-through of the straps.
A contribution to safety
Unsecured activation spints of the rescue system have quite often lead to unintentioned deployment. The friction of the splint at the loop decreases with decreasing packing pressure. The falling out of the splints can become dangerous at ground level. Usually, the splint therefor is secured with special safety threads which have to be renewed after every deployment.
Charlys loop-tensioner makes safety threads unnecessary and ensures consistant splint friction by spring tension.
To act in the right way in emergency situations, you should practice the deployment of the rescue system from time to time. With Charly harnesses you need not care about safety threads.
Charly's weight laving program - How you can avoid unnecessary ballast:
SIL instead of carabiner: 3 buckles are dispensed with (more safety, more user friendliness)
Weight saving: 400 g
Protector Charly Scooter instead of soft-airbag (more safety)
Weight saving: 900 g
Light-weight harness apparatus improves loading distribution and dispenses with heavy reinforcing
All Charly harn. light and robust!
Weight saving: 500 g
Light wooden seating surface with multiple laminate instead of fibre glass seating surface (optional)
Weight saving: 200 g
Total weight saving: 2 kg
