NEO Stay Up 2

£1,949.00

The NEO StayUp 2.0 is an ultralight cross-country pod harness developed for hike & fly, bivouac adventures and high-performance XC flying. Weighing from just 1.45 kg, it combines exceptional comfort, impressive passive safety and outstanding durability, making it an ideal choice for ambitious pilots who want to fly further with less weight.

NEO StayUp 2.0 Ultralight Pod Harness

The NEO StayUp 2.0 is the latest evolution of NEO’s award-winning ultralight pod harness. Developed in collaboration with world-class athletes including Max Pinot and Tim Alongi, it incorporates technology refined through demanding events such as the Red Bull X-Alps, Bornes to Fly and X-Pyr.

Designed for serious hike & fly pilots, bivouac adventures and cross-country flying, the StayUp 2.0 delivers exceptional comfort, precise handling and remarkable durability while weighing under 2 kg with full protection.

Built for Modern XC Flying

The StayUp 2.0 retains the proven stability of the original StayUp while introducing a redesigned bucket seat that provides greater comfort and more precise control.

The ergonomic seating position supports the thighs, hips and back, creating excellent contact with the glider and allowing smooth, efficient weight-shift control without feeling unstable.

Whether you’re climbing in thermals, gliding on bar or hiking to a remote launch, the harness remains comfortable throughout the day.

Lightweight Without Compromise

Despite weighing from only 1.45 kg, the StayUp 2.0 is engineered for long-term durability.

Its structure is built using:

  • High-strength Dyneema® Ripstop fabric
  • HMPE (High Modulus Polyethylene) webbing
  • Lightweight aluminium hardware
  • Replaceable wear components
  • Carbon fibre footplate

Every component has been selected to reduce weight without sacrificing reliability.

Outstanding Comfort

The newly developed bucket seat has been reshaped to provide improved support while requiring fewer adjustments.

Features include:

  • Ergonomic bucket seat
  • Excellent lumbar support
  • Intuitive pod entry after take-off
  • Large carbon footplate
  • Stable seating position
  • Only one primary back angle adjustment

The larger footplate also makes speed bar use more comfortable while increasing the internal volume of the pod.

Excellent Passive Safety

The StayUp 2.0 includes two independent protection systems.

NEO Koroyd 2.3 Under-Seat Protector

The lightweight 8 cm Koroyd protector provides certified protection throughout every stage of flight.

  • EN Certified
  • LTF Certified

Koroyd PROPACK Back Protector

The integrated PROPACK protects the spine from concentrated impacts caused by equipment carried in the rucksack during hike & fly adventures.

  • EN1621-2 certified
  • Only 145 g
  • Easily removable
  • Additional back support

Efficient XC Cockpit

A redesigned front-mounted rescue container integrates cleanly into the aerodynamic profile of the harness.

The rescue system includes:

  • Front rescue container
  • Pre-installed rescue bridles
  • Four container sizes
  • Excellent aerodynamic integration
  • Secure anti-twist attachment

The removable instrument panel allows pilots to leave instruments attached between flights, simplifying setup on launch.

A cable routing port keeps charging cables neatly organised.

Practical Storage

Designed for long-distance adventures, the StayUp 2.0 offers generous storage throughout the harness.

Storage includes:

  • Large 25 L rear compartment
  • Hydration bladder routing
  • Right zipped pocket
  • Left quick-access pocket
