Thanks for the videos Greg. Great stuff!

👍 The Nova Montis harness and its accessories were designed and made for Nova by Kortel Design. The Nova Montis is the equivalent of the past model Kortel Kruyer II, now replaced by the Kortel Kruyer II. The Nova Montis+ is the combination of the Nova Montis harness and Nova Inverto reversible backpack-aribag module, which is Nova's equivalent of the Kortel Sak II. Links below.

What about the Ozone Ultralite 4 for hike and fly?

[@25Letifer]

Hey Greg, love your channel, would you train folks if they came to you?

[@DavidHotz21]

greg whats your feeling about blow up protection

[@LernGuru]

Hi Greg, I have the nova montis +, which is almost the same as the one You show here. It fits even the Skywalk Arriba M. I use a climber's chalk-bag for additional storage(e.g. camera). The strings on the shoulders are not comfortable at start prep but once in the air it is OK. I use a FOOT STIRRUP (95gr) which makes it a lot more comfortable and lets the airbag fill faster. Without it You feel You have to sit upright. With the FOOT STIRRUP You feel more comfortable to lean back a bit if need to be. Speed ist not the same as with a pod harness. One would have to compare its speed to other standard harnesses. Obviously it is not nearly the same comfort as with my delight 3, but for me quite a bit more comfortable than my advance progress 2. This has to do with body shape I suppose. My longest flight in this nova montis + with foot stirrup was a bit over 3 hours and it felt quite comfortable . For me the real drag is the speed system: on longer streches using the speed bar You feel the thin and uncushioned cloth cut into Your back... Still, I love it. As everything packs quite compact it is much nicer to carry uphill than the big bag....

[@laniik]

which foot stirrup are you using with the montis? also, do you know what differences between the montis and the kruyer?

[@lkjxb7192]

This actually looks exactly the same as the Montis +. Especially the bagpack. Didnt see the harness too well. I fly it as my only harness, but I see what Greg means. Gotta try out a normal harness soon.

[@LernGuru]

@@laniik Hi Oliver, I don't know the brand as there is no lable on it. Just look for the lightest You can find. And then You need a bit of imagination to connect it. You could also make one Yourself. Buy 5mm Dynema line, messure Your required length, connect it, and put a short thin metall rod in the middle. The cool thing apart from comfort is that I never have to search for the speed bar. ;-) Nova Montis+ seems to be from the same manufacture - different colour. But best check them out in a shop. Great flights and good landings.

[@BiplanePilot229LL]

I"m really new, so please forgive any seemingly foolish questions. Am I correct that the Karver II by Kortel is a slightly newer design from the Kruyer 2? I'm flying a Karver II under an Epic wing. So far I'm only ridge soaring on the Central Coast of California. The lack of shoulder straps took a little getting used to on the ground, but feels very comfortable in the air, and it feels like I'm getting a little more effect with weight shifting over the harness I used under my Instructor's wing. Is that just my imagination?

[@BiplanePilot229LL]

Flybubble Paragliding, Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll consider looking for an additional harness, one with that foam back protection. Thanks again, and Merry Christmas!

Great information .. what was your total weight .. as it said that you were over the Normal weight range ? 6kg of gera your weight ?

[@billyvosnakis6313]

@@flybubbleparagliding Isn't that the perfect range weight for flying ? 🤗.. Great Videos 🙂 .. thanks for sharing ...

[@billyvosnakis6313]

@@flybubbleparagliding ​ 🤣😂🤣😂 is that the perfect weight for that Glider ?? or the M21 would be better on 80-85kg ? in light or Medium conditions ?? 🤔

[@jonathansummerfield8390]

I fly the motel kruyer 3 for mountaineering flights and its genius! Really comfortable. Wide shoulder straps. Leaning angle adjustable. Super nice. I fly it without a protector anyways

[@moritzleidler]

That's not that light tho... The harness I am currently fling weighs 250 gramms (including detachable airbag). Total weigh of gear (harness, emergency wing and a gin yeti 5) is less than 5 kg. How much does your gear totally weigh in this video Greg?

[@flybubblecarlo]

The gear listed here was pretty light when this video was originally published back in 2019. There's even lighter gear available nowadays: flybubble.com/

Please leave out the music, had to mute it everytime and then check if you were saying sth.
