Until now, a pressurized harness was a competition machine. Long to set up, demanding to fly, and reserved for pilots willing to learn their gear before they could enjoy it.
The PULSE takes that technology and makes it easy to live with. Two automatic buckles to clip in, instruments right in your line of sight in flight, full airbag protection, two reserve containers, one on each side, and just 3.4 kg on your back in size M.
In other words, everything today's cross-country pilot is looking for, in a harness that stays easy to use.
It is designed for the regular cross-country pilot, not the athlete.
Three sizes : S, M, and L certified for 120 kg under EN and LTF standards. First shipments in January 2027.

THE MISSING STEP
Between a cross-country pod harness and a competition harness, there was a step missing. On one side, simple and safe gear. On the other, machines built for racing, demanding to set up and to fly.
The PULSE fills that gap. Cross-country pilots can step up in performance without going to extremes : they keep their wing and their habits.
It creates a new balance : the technology of a pressurized harness, with the weight, simplicity and passive safety of a cross-country pod harness.
THE BEST OF TWO WORLDS
From the the ALP, our cross-country pod harness, it takes its chassis and its flying philosophy : comfortable, reassuring and made for everyday flying.
From the on the DELIGHT 5, our cross-country pod harness, it takes its chassis and its flying philosophy: comfortable, reassuring and made for everyday flying.
PULSE was born where the two meet.
MORE GLIDE, SAME WING
The gain applies to the whole pilot-and-wing system. Pilots improve the glide performance of their setup without changing their wing and without having to change the way they fly.

CLIP IN, TAKE OFF
Adjustments are made at the first setup, ideally on a hang simulator, then fine-tuned by feel during the first flight. After that, the harness is set: at takeoff, there is nothing left to do.

That is what sets the PULSE apart from typical pressurized harnesses : the technology is the same, but it is used like an everyday harness.
TWO RESERVE CONTAINERS, ONE ON EACH SIDE
Two reserve containers, one on each side. On a cross-country harness, that is not something you see every day.
In addition, there is a full- inflatable protector .
On a harness that borrows the aerodynamics of competition machines, this is the level of equipment a cross-country pilot is entitled to expect. Performance never comes at the expense of passive safety.
GOING THE DISTANCE
Five or six hours in the air, an FAI triangle, two or three mountain ranges crossed in a day. That is where a harness proves itself, not at takeoff.
The instruments stay in your line of sight, the pod holds the pilot in place, and the curved carbon seat plate passes on what is happening under the wing.
3.4 kg in size M.
“We wanted to give cross-country pilots the performance of a pressurized harness without asking them to move to a competition machine, and without giving up anything on passive safety.”
"The rest is flying hours and prototypes. We have been designing harnesses since 1979, and it is still all for moments like these."
Romain Rousset, harness Designer at Supair

Frequently Asked Questions About PULSE
This is a harness whose canopy takes shape in flight. It improves airflow around the pilot and, as a result, the glide ratio of the pilot and wing as a whole, without changing the wing. The PULSE incorporates this ALP technology into a frame derived from the DELIGHT 5.
For the regular cross-country pilot looking for aerodynamic efficiency without the complexity of adjusting a competition harness. If simplicity is your priority, choose the DELIGHT 5. If maximum hike-and-fly performance is your priority, choose the ALP.
Size S: 3.23 kg, riders 155 to 170 cm tall and weighing 55 to 80 kg. Size M: 3.4 kg, 165 to 180 cm tall and weighing 65 to 85 kg. Size L: 3.6 kg, 180 to 195 cm tall and weighing 70 to 100 kg.
