Independence gliders Matador Alpin is a cocoon harness made for thermal flying, cross-country and competition pilots who appreciate aerodynamic characteristics and extremely low weight of only 3,0kg.
Conception
The advanced seat shell of Matador Alpin makes it possible to use the harness either with or without seat board. An optional available carbon seat board respectively foot plate reduce the harness weight, even if you prefer to fly with seat board. Due to the belt lock system with variable opening for the speed bag, it is possible to easily get out of the speed bag during flight. The large protector unites safety purposes and aerodynamic quality. The harness geometry of Matador Alpin is especially laid out for cross-country and thermal flying.
