Choosing a Paramotor Harness

Author : Nielsen Lange | Published On : 15 Nov 2025

Your harness will have a major impact on your flying experience. How you connect to the wing will dictate your flight characteristics and handling, especially the weight-shift steering ability of your paramotor.

A lightweight, comfortable and easy-to-use harness is essential for learning paramotoring. A quality harness will also allow you to progress and advance as a pilot.

When purchasing a harness for your new paramotor, it is important to consider all the options available and choose what’s best for you. A quality harness will enhance comfort and filtration of engine vibration, helping to alleviate the stress on your back and arms during flight. It will also provide additional support in case of a crash and increase the ease with which you can get out of your harness after landing.

The best harnesses have a thoughtful combination of both high-quality durable fabrics and lighter materials that minimize the overall weight. They also use a wide range of adjustments to ensure the perfect fit, including an anti-forget buckle system. Finally, high-quality AustriAlpin Cobra buckles are used to ensure the safety of your equipment and provide a quick and secure connection.

Almost all paramotors employ some method of pushing (spreading) the front harness webbing away from the pilot's chest during power. This is to prevent the motor thrust from uncomfortably pushing against your chest. This is called a spreader system and is done to both improve launchability as well as flight stability. This is done by the various bars that go from the top of the frame forward to the seat, such as distance bars, comfort bars, underarm bars and J-bars. A few direct drive machines do not have this as they are much simpler and lighter.

There are 2 main types of hook-in systems - soft attachments and frame (or hard) attachments. When carabiners attach to the harness webbing it is considered a soft attachment system as seen in the picture of the Fresh Breeze. When they attach to a short piece of webbing that is attached to a frame part it is considered a frame attachment system like the Walkerjet pictured on the left.

The hang point of a paramotor is determined by the height that the karabiners are above the thrust line, and it affects how your glider responds to control input. High hang points tend to feel more stable, but are less responsive and may be more erect in flight, which is why most beginner pilots start with a low-hang point machine. giá vé bến du thuyền nha trang have a compromise by utilising articulated mid-low hangpoints which provide excellent response feedback and great weight shift steering. This is the preferred method for advanced pilots. It is a good idea to ask your instructor what they recommend for your specific circumstances. A full hang test is also highly recommended prior to your first flight, or any time you are changing to a different paramotor setup.
