NOVA Paragliding Harnesses
ALTUS – lightness meets safety
The sporty lightweight
At only 3.5 kilograms the ALTUS is extraordinarily light, extremely comfortable and for its class, has a unique level of safety: under the seat is a ready for action Pre-inflated Airbag. This airbag is shaped using a durable foam mesh. Once in the air, the airbag also supports the pilot’s back.
The ALTUS is suitable for a diverse range of pilots. It offers a high degree of passive safety combined with little weight and excellent flying characteristics. In contrast to most reversible harnesses, it is intended for everyday use.
VENTUS – free as the wind
Uncomplicated all-round harness
The VENTUS is a modern all-round harness that offers exceptional fun, many well-thought-out details and, above all, high levels of passive safety. In addition to a classic foam protector, there is a viscoelastic back protector. The ergonomic parachute container enables a particularly reliable deployment. We confirmed this with intensive in-house tests, which well surpassed the stipulated test procedures. Its sporty look, the ergonomic seat geometry and its small packing volume make the VENTUS the ideal companion for every flight.
The VENTUS is aimed at all pilots who are seeking an uncomplicated, safe and innovative harness for everyday flying. The clever details ensure intuitive handling. The seat plate and harness geometry guarantee a pleasant and precise feeling in the air. Sizes S and L were specifically designed for small and large pilots. The VENTUS is suitable for instruction as well as for experienced, discerning pilots.
SOMNIUM – for cross-country pilots with dreams
The efficient XC machine
The SOMNIUM offers everything cross-country pilots are looking for: comfort, an aerodynamic seating position with little drag and thanks to Hybrid Protection, an impressive degree of passive safety. At only 3.7 kilograms (size S), the walk to take-off is made a lot easier.
The SOMNIUM is primarily aimed at pilots who demand performance. It offers a high degree of passive safety combined with little weight and excellent aerodynamic characteristics. The high level of comfort and the pod enhance the feeling of comfort in the air.
MONTIS - ultra light, super comfortable
The perfect climbing partner
At approximately 300 grams the MONTIS, our mountaineering harness, is both light as a feather and extremely comfortable. Clever details like Friction Buckles help us to achieve minimum weight.
The MONTIS is aimed at mountaineers who are looking for a minimalist harness which is both super light and comfortable. The MONTIS can be used in conjunction with the INVERTO - a clever reversible rucksack - to make a well thought-out hike & fly package with a comfortable, spacious rucksack and an airbag that protects the pilot's posterior and back.
MONTIS+ – flexible, safe and ultralight
The all-round hike & fly package with only 1.3 kg
The MONTIS+ is the combination of the MONTIS, our ultralight harness and the INVERTO, our reversible rucksack. The MONTIS+ is more than a sum of its parts – it offers comfort, protection and unsurpassed flexibility. A harness for every mountain.
Stay flexible. Hike & fly is a science in itself: depending on the type of tour, the required equipment will change. With the MONTIS+ you are ready for any eventuality – from a gentle evening flight to an extreme alpine adventure.
INVERTO - the amazing backpack that protects
Lots of room, lots of protection
The INVERTO is well thought-out 985 gram light rucksack with a volume of 60 litres, which is converted into an airbag in seconds. It not only protects the posterior (as is the case with other harnesses of this type), but also the back area. The INVERTO is the perfect partner to the MONTIS, our mountaineering harness (not included).
The INVERTO can be combined with the MONTIS, NOVA's mountaineering harness, to make a rucksack and airbag, which makes it perfect for hike & fly. It is aimed at any pilot who wants good packing volume, comfort when carrying and a high degree of passive safety.
ITUS - Optimised to the core
Multi-talented to the max
As a versatile reversible harness, the ITUS can be used in any situation – hike & fly, local soaring, cross-country and travelling the world. To help you achieve your daily goal, it has some clever features. For example, using a zip, the rucksack can be completely detached from the harness. The result is a lightweight harness with a seat plate that is comfortable in the air as well as superlight and compact on the ground.
Please note: more varieties of ITUS compatible rucksacks will soon be available for retro-fitting. This means the packing volume is flexible depending on the equipment or intended use. Simply zip on the required size… and you are ready to go! Therefore you never carry more weight that is necessary and you have exactly the storage space you need.
