NEO Stringpack 2.0 Convertible Harness & Backpack
The NEO Stringpack 2.0 is one of the lightest and most practical hike & fly systems available. Combining the proven NEO String 3.0 harness with the NEO Lite Bag, it transforms from a comfortable backpack into a certified paragliding harness in just a few moments.
Unlike traditional reversible harnesses, the Stringpack uses the same shoulder straps and back support for both hiking and flying. This clever design reduces weight, improves carrying comfort and creates a more efficient flying position.
Whether you’re walking to a local hill, travelling in the Alps or taking part in hike & fly competitions, the Stringpack 2.0 keeps your equipment simple, lightweight and ready for adventure.
One System – Two Roles
The large U-shaped zip opens to reveal the integrated String 3.0 harness.
Conversion from backpack to harness is quick and intuitive, allowing you to spend less time preparing and more time flying.
Because the backpack remains part of the harness during flight, weight is distributed efficiently while maintaining excellent comfort.
Designed for Hike & Fly
Every detail has been developed to minimise weight without compromising durability.
Constructed from premium Dyneema® Ripstop fabric with Hypalon reinforcements, the Stringpack is built to withstand years of mountain use while remaining exceptionally light.
The ergonomic design provides excellent comfort whether you’re carrying your equipment uphill or enjoying a long glide home.

The 55-litre backpack offers generous space for lightweight flying equipment.
Features include:
- Comfortable shoulder straps

Once airborne, the usable volume reduces to approximately 40 litres, preventing the load from shifting during flight.
