The aerodynamic silhouette of this harness is your key to outstanding performance on long glides. With two storage compartments and a cockpit pouch, there is enough space for your essential gear. Are you ready to embark on your next adventure and push your limits?

The RANGE X-ALPS3 Athlete Version is waiting for you!

Aerodynamic Rear Fairing

The ram pressure fairing inflates due to the incoming air and recombines the flow behind the pilot. This significantly improves drag and increases glide performance.

Front Rescue System with Cockpit

The cockpit provides space for a phone and a compact variometer, keeping them optimally in view alongside the rescue system. The V-line is safely attached to the shoulders, just like in conventional harnesses.

Power Frame

The Power Frame distributes the forces homogeneously over the entire seat shell and provides optimal support without pressure points – high flying comfort is guaranteed!

Cockpit Pouch

The cockpit pouch not only offers additional velcro for attaching more flight instruments, but also features a clever storage compartment with a cable outlet, ideal for your power bank. Additionally, there’s another compartment for smaller items like snacks, so you have everything you need during your flight at hand and well-organized. For secure stowing, it can be quickly detached.

Back- and Seat Storage Compartment

The spacious back compartment with a capacity of around 30 liters provides ample room to store your backpack. The asymmetrical zipper simplifies filling the storage compartment. The practical storage compartment under the seat shell offers ample space for lightweight items like extra clothing or inner packing sacks. For weight reduction, it can be removed.

Hydration System Setup

The hydration bladder can be conveniently stored and secured in the back compartment. The drinking tube runs elegantly through an opening directly to the shoulder strap, allowing easy access to hydration without compromising comfort.

PERMAIR 2.0

The further development of our first PERMAIR protector generation has a practical inflate/deflate check valve that makes the filling of your protector significantly easier. PERMAIR 2.0 protectors can also be inflated in several ways. In addition to the previously common variant with the inflation bag and compression function, you now have the option to fill your protector via the PERMAIR PUMP or in a minimalist way via the mouthpiece.

Optional Accessories

PERMAIR PUMP

The small electric pump is the most convenient way to inflate the PERMAIR protector. With a battery capacity of 3600 mAh, it also serves as a power bank and literally weighs just 150g. You can order the PUMP from your skywalk dealer or in the skywalk Online Shop.

INFLATION BAG

The INFLATION BAG is used to stow and inflate the protector. When used correctly, the protector can be filled with just one stroke. You can order the INFLATION BAG from your skywalk dealer or in the skywalk Online Shop.

Each size was individually designed for its intended use. Special features ensure optimum user-friendliness. With a volume of 35 liters, the HIKE35 is aimed at climbers, alpinists and ski mountaineers who are on the move with minimal equipment in difficult terrain. The HIKE55 is designed for hike-and-fly enthusiasts whose ultralight gear takes up only 55 liters. The HIKE75, on the other hand, is perfectly designed for ambitious XC and bivouac pilots with 75 liters.

What all three HIKE’s have in common is their extraordinarily high level of comfort. This is ensured by a compact design that fits closely to the body. With the Load Control, you can adjust the center of gravity individually to your needs. The Salewa DRY BACK® System with EVA padding and 3D channel ventilation reduces the contact area with the body, so your back stays dry. The split shoulder straps increase mobility, especially in technical terrain, making you reach the summit more efficient and relaxed.

Elastic rubber loops allow hiking poles to be attached to the outside of the rucksack, increasing your safety. Additional equipment can be attached to the daisy chain for longer Hike&Fly adventures. Common features of all three HIKE variants include a helmet net, a pocket for valuables, a compression strap that secures your glider in the rucksack, a removable mobile device mount on the shoulder strap, and two elastic net pockets that provide ample space for water bottles, provisions and spare clothing. Designed for speed alpinists, the HIKE35 also shines with a ski mount and two “gear loops” on the hip belt for climbing gear like quickdraw and carabiners.

Light. Compact. Innovative.

The RANGE X-ALPS embodies the class of ultra-lightweight pod harnesses – a class that unites features that are nearly impossible to combine. Together with input from our X-Alps athletes and feedback from convinced RANGE X-ALPS2 pilots, we have succeeded with the RANGE X-ALPS3 in perfecting its coveted predecessor.

The RANGE X-ALPS3 pod was designed primarily for weight-optimized XC pilots who prefer compact equipment. Accordingly, the geometry and the seat shell were designed for high flying comfort, which can be enhanced with numerous features. The harness can be flown in a reclining as well as in an upright position. The adjustment can be easily adapted to conditions during flight. This way you feel safe flying even in turbulent air, and in the case of a disturbance, you can quickly straighten up and assume a compact body position.

The aerodynamic silhouette keeps you powerful and efficient during extended flights and long glides. The longitudinal stability of the harness can be additionally increased by means of stabilizers. This feature is a useful tool, especially for high performance pilots, to stay on course with maximum efficiency.

Every space has been used wisely in the development of the RANGE X-ALPS3. The optimally arranged storage compartments provide ample space even on long trips. Although the weight starting at 1.95 kg and the pack size are extremely small, we have placed great emphasis on easy handling. Due to its intuitive handling, the RANGE X-ALPS3 is suitable for both Hike&Fly competition pilots and XC pilots.

Thanks to its large protector, the PERMAIR technology offers high passive safety and rounds off the overall package perfectly.

Whether you are a Hike&Fly athlete, XC pilot, vol-biv adventurer or travel enthusiast – with the ultra-light XC harness you will enjoy the highest comfort on long distances, easy ascents on your Hike&Fly tours, and reliable safety thanks to PERMAIR technology.
