Skywalk CORE Ultralight Harness
The Skywalk CORE has been developed for pilots who demand the lightest possible equipment without compromising comfort or safety. Whether you’re tackling alpine hike & fly routes, technical climb & fly objectives or travelling with minimal gear, the CORE delivers exceptional performance in an incredibly compact package.
Available as either the PURE Set or the PERMAIR Set, the CORE adapts to your style of flying while remaining one of the lightest modular harnesses on the market.
Ultralight Performance
Starting at just 420 g, the CORE packs into a slim protective storage bag that fits easily into even the smallest hike & fly rucksack.
Despite its minimalist design, the harness provides excellent comfort thanks to thoughtful ergonomics and carefully selected materials.
The result is a harness you’ll hardly notice in your backpack, yet appreciate throughout every flight.
Comfortable for Long Days
Unlike many ultralight harnesses, the CORE has been designed with comfort in mind.
Features include:
- Soft 2 mm foam seat padding
- Thermal insulation against cold air
- Comfortable leg support
- PE reinforcement in the leg loops
- Elastic shoulder straps that automatically adapt to the pilot
The additional insulation is particularly welcome after long hikes or demanding mountain ascents.
Stable and Confidence Inspiring
The CORE uses a classic loop harness design with relatively high suspension points, creating reassuring roll stability in active air.
Benefits include:
- Stable flying characteristics
- Reduced movement in turbulence
- Comfortable handling with lightweight wings
- Adjustable chest strap to fine-tune agility and stability
- Reduced pressure on the inner thighs
This makes the harness especially suitable for pilots flying lightweight mountain gliders.
