BRAVE 5

…fly it your way!

BRAVE 5 – One Harness. Every Mission.

More than just a harness – the BRAVE 5 is the vital link between you and your wing.

Designed for maximum comfort and intuitive handling, it is ready for every idea, opportunity and moment in the air.

Smarter. More versatile.

Following on from the success of its predecessor, the BRAVE 5 offers even greater versatility, with new features that strike the perfect balance between simplicity and adaptability.

The multifunctional harness for every mission.

The BRAVE 5 makes it all possible:

  • Modular BRAVE ZIPON system – switch the compact hike & fly backpack into speedflying/riding mode in just a few steps.
  • BRAVE “Position Tuner” – adjust the entire suspension via the leg loops to find your ideal speedriding position.
  • BRAVE “360° Cam Mount System” – capture your adventures with shake-free 360° footage.
  • Optional protector – extra safety for your hike & fly missions.
  • Balanced lightweight yet robust construction with extra comfort – for endless soaring sessions with your parakite.

Simple. Intuitive. Efficient.

The BRAVE 5’s intelligent design delivers precise control inputs, making your wing feel naturally intuitive to fly.

Focus on what matters.

Reduced to the essentials, it leaves room for what truly counts:
Your idea. Your flight.

The “BRAVE ZIPON” backpack module

With just a few simple moves, the harness transforms into a functional 45-litre reversible backpack with a minimalist alpine look. It is compact, smart, and refined.

There is plenty of storage space for your wing, reserve and additional gear. With careful packing, even ‘regular’ paragliders up to size M can fit. There are sturdy mounting loops on both sides for attaching most freeride skis, and external attachment points for securely carrying ski or trekking poles.

The integrated external helmet net provides extra space when needed and can be quickly and easily tucked away.

Thanks to the ventilated carrying system with 3D mesh padding and ergonomically shaped shoulder straps, excellent comfort is ensured, even on longer tours.

When in flight mode, the backpack can be stowed away completely in the rear compartment, while still leaving room for extra luggage.

This transforms the BRAVE 5 into a fully-fledged reversible harness, or a stylish standalone alpine backpack with 45 litres of volume when needed.

BRAVE harness base

The harness base with the BRAVE ZIPON speedriding/speedflying module is designed to be functional and robust – with a seatboard-free single leg suspension, free-moving shoulder straps and individually adjustable back angle for maximum comfort.

New: two practical side pockets integrated into the leg suspension – now on both right and left. Whether you’re right- or left-handed, you can stow your speedbag, gloves or other essentials within easy reach. Both pockets can be securely closed with a durable zip.

BRAVE “Position-Tuner”

We kept the proven BRAVE geometry and enhanced it with the new BRAVE “Position-Tuner”. This feature lets you adjust the length of the leg straps – and thereby flexibly change the entire suspension setup: from a low, agile seated position for speedflying, to a very high, standing suspension for speedriding. This gives you a wide range of options for every mission.

Important:
The Position-Tuner must always be set symmetrically and correctly secured with the safety buckles.
The basic setting is marked with a green cross-stitch, the recommended adjustment range is limited by red cross-stitches.

In addition, the harness offers speedbar compatibility with integrated stowable pulleys and automatic lightweight carabiners. Thanks to its one-size design, it fits pilots from 155 cm to 195 cm.

BRAVE back storage compartment

The approx. 25-litre back compartment of the BRAVE 5 ZIPON speedriding/speedflying module provides ample space for everything speedriders, speedflyers and parakiters want to take along. Trekking or ski poles can be securely attached to the back. Two spacious external pockets with long zips allow quick access – even in flight. Perfect for a camera, accessories, smartphone, gloves or a small water bottle.
A separate padded inner pocket protects your valuables inside the main compartment.

BRAVE “360° Cam Mount System”

Your 360° camera stick can be fixed to the top and bottom of the back panel with Velcro straps – an additional strap with a camera screw thread ensures stable, twist-proof mounting.

⚠️ Warning:
Flying or riding with an extended camera stick may cause dangerous line catches.
In the event of a crash or accident, a mounted camera stick can also lead to severe back injuries.
Use of a camera setup on the harness is entirely at your own risk.
SWING Paragliders accepts no liability for injuries or damage caused by the use of a mounted camera stick.

The harness – pure, light, without any “BRAVE ZIPON” modules.

It sits close to the body and follows every movement.
Perfect for minimalist speedflying, speedriding, and parakiting pilots, for groundhandling, or for fast and light hike & fly tours with your own backpack.

The certified protector is still in development – coming soon!
