After the success of the Submarine, we saw the potential of this technology in the world of hike \u0026amp; fly racing, pushing weight and performance further than ever before. From the start, our goal was clear: create a harness that’s fast and simple to use, allowing pilots to set up in seconds with complete confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"6332\" data-end=\"6764\"\u003eThe Sublite has been my personal flying gear for the past year, and I’ve put in countless hours of testing in all kinds of conditions. The result is a harness that is exceptionally light, remarkably comfortable, and designed for true performance. Its compact flying position delivers outstanding stability, even in strong turbulence. Every detail has been tuned for the best possible balance, making it a race harness you can trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"6766\" data-end=\"6805\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"6766\" data-end=\"6805\"\u003eBaptiste Lambert, Envelope Designer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 data-section-id=\"1fff3qn\" data-start=\"6807\" data-end=\"6841\"\u003ePilot Review by Lars Meerstetter\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"6843\" data-end=\"7237\"\u003eWhen I was first flying a normal Submarine, I couldn't imagine that kind of harness would ever be practical for hike and fly competitions. It was just too complicated and time consuming to set it up for a short 5 minute glide. But when I flew the Sublite for the first time, I realized in a second that this harness would be extremely competitive, at least for long distance hike and fly races.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"7239\" data-end=\"7652\"\u003eIn the inside, there are only two straps, everything is light, easy to handle but it gives you a very comfortable position. You only need to close one short zipper of the envelope and attach the external velcro cockpit to get ready. Especially for supported races, the external cockpit is very practical. Once airborne, grab the pod with your feet then the magnetic closure system works without any further input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"7654\" data-end=\"7791\"\u003eFor landing, you can focus fully on the glider and the terrain by just opening the envelope with a soft push with your knee or your feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"7793\" data-end=\"8058\"\u003eOn my first long cross country flights with the Sublite I was impressed by its performance compared to similar wings with a normal pod harness. Especially in half or full speed bar, the performance of my glider remained higher than those without submarine harnesses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"8060\" data-end=\"8470\"\u003eDuring the X-Alps, it was pleasing to see the difference between my harness and common pod harnesses. This advantage in glide saved me some meters of hiking and gave me also a mental boost. Especially for the last glide to Schmittenhöhe, it was nice to know I had slightly better performance than the others, so I didn't need to risk anything. I could just float with the others and decided on the final glide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"8472\" data-end=\"8827\"\u003eThe real strength test for the Sublite was the Eigertour. I was not sure if this light harness could handle the landings and the take offs in the rocky environment off the mountain huts. The very thin envelope is what worried me the most, but even after 25 top landings and take offs in this Alpine area, I didn't use the repair patches I carried with me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"8829\" data-end=\"9016\"\u003eThe Eigertour didn't only show that the Sublite is robust enough for those races, it also showed that it is competitive on races with many short flights and lots of packing and preparing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"9018\" data-end=\"9164\"\u003eSo for me, the Sublite is perfect for cross country flying with light gear, for long hike and fly races, and also for very short hut to hut races.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"9166\" data-end=\"9220\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"9166\" data-end=\"9220\"\u003eLars Meerstetter, Team Pilot and X-Alps Competitor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 data-section-id=\"yltbjq\" data-start=\"9222\" data-end=\"9249\"\u003ePilot Review by Fabi Buhl\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"9251\" data-end=\"9492\"\u003eI was lucky enough to get one of the first Sublites. I flew the Sublite throughout the whole summer in the Alps, whenever I wasn’t under my Enzo. In Pakistan, I used it for some vol-biv and even flew a 308 km FAI triangle with the Zeolite 2.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ozone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131481178261,"sku":null,"price":3150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/2970\/7669\/files\/c2905886000552e67a5bed1ba9cba1168d300831-2000x1500.jpg?v=1774005665","url":"https:\/\/paraglidingshop.com.au\/products\/ozone-the-submarine-harness-copy","provider":"ParaglidingShop.com.au Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
