Ozone F*Race
***NEU F*RACE Lightweight Performance***
Intro
The F*Race2 is an ultra-light hike & fly pod harness. The development was guided by our most demanding team pilots. At just 1.62kg in size M, it is a no-compromise approach for pilots who are pushing the limits of adventure flying, in a comparably durable and comfortable package.
The Pilot
Although its comfort and accessibility exceed standards in this category, it is not recommended as a first pod harness. That said, you don't need to compete in the X-Alps to fly it. The overall comfort and durability make it an excellent choice for an everyday harness for pilots in need of a compact hike & fly setup to access more remote take-offs, or for convenient and lightweight travel with a highly XC-capable harness.
It is definitely durable for the category, but please note that this is a light harness which should be handled with the normal amount of care and attention you give your light wings.
The Tech
The F*Race 2's innovative structure is based on an ergonomic Dyneema pattern that has been designed for anatomic support. The longest ever X-Alps flight was completed in this harness structure by Damien Lacaze, who reported that it treated him well for over 11 hours.
Each side of the pod features large easy-access pockets for cameras and equipment. The high volume rear compartment has a hydration bladder sleeve, and pole stowage, in addition to the large under-seat compartment. The cockpit pocket stores batteries easily. A removable cockpit is ideal for larger instruments, which can be connected to a chest pocket for extra in-flight storage.
Safety and Certification
The front mounted reserve compartment is well-integrated with an easily accessible handle, and the rescue bridles are connected at the shoulders.
A new inflatable protection system features an innovative inner compartmented design which is more efficient. It is also quick to setup - during a hike & fly race, every second counts, and a new 50 gram pump provides rapid inflation. The protector can also be inflated using the bag which comes standard. A dump valve allows rapid deflation. An inflation tube is accessible in-flight.
The F*Race 2 is certified to EN 1651-2018 standard for pilots up to 110kg. The inflatable protector spans from thighs to above lumbar and is certified with a peak impact rating of less than 32 g.
In Flight
Clip-in is fast thanks to one fixed leg-strap, which doubles as an anti-forget system, and only 4 closing steps (including the optional upper-chest strap). Ground handling is trouble-free thanks to the flexible nature of the structure - increasing mobility on tricky take-offs. Cleverly positioned EVA foam and reinforcements eliminate pressure points.
In flight, weight-shift is effective and well-tempered, and the stabilising system (with optional adjustable ABS) is comfortable in turbulence. A large rear fairing profile and smooth pod improve glide and stability.
