Welcome to the world of light and high performance gear! The DELIGHT2 is a Cross-country light enough to go hiking with. Its minimal
weight and size make it a good choice to carry to takeoff with ease. The air mass is translated to the harness without parasitic interfer-
ence and hence providing the right environment for refined and efficient piloting.
The DELIGHT2 harness was certified EN 1651 : 1999 and LTF 91/09,
Indicating that it meets European and German safety requirements.
After reading this manual, we suggest you to check your harness in static hang-posts to adjust it before your first flight.

Choosing your harness’ size is important. You will find here below a height/weight table that will help you in your size choice. With its
hammock architecture and its “lying flat” flying position, we advise you to try out the harness under a hanging device at one of our
retailers in order to choose the correct size. For a complete list of our retailers, please click here : www.supair.com

The « WEDGE 13 » was designed to adjust the reserve parachute pocket’s volume when the parachute is too small to fill in the entire space ( the Xtralite
parachute model per example ). This wedge must be used to keep the harness profile ergonomically intact. It is installed inside the reserve parachute
pocket using a removable supporting inner panel. In case of a larger reserve parachute model ( SUP’AIR START per example... ), the entire reserve para-
chute pocket can be filled without using the wedge.
Installing the WEDGE :
1. Open the reserve parachute poc-
ket.
2. Open the inner wall/panel
(Velcro).
3. Push the WEDGE 13 to the end of the reserve parachute pocket. The
rounded section must be in contact with the external part of the har-
ness.
4. Close the wall/panel (Velcro). 5. Proceed with the reserve para-
chute installation.

Using the seat-plate. :
Seatplate description. :

1. Open the zip-
per of the pocket
located beneath
and at the front of
the seat.
2. Open the
velcro located
at the top of
the pocket and
access the seat-
plate compart-
ment.
3. Insert the
seatplate in its
compartment
and close the
velcro.
Flying with the plate gives a tighter seating posture and transfers the wing’s imputs more precisely. The seatplate equally contributes
to heightened overall comfort without lateral hip pressure.
Flying without the seatplate brings a more flexible seating area following the pilot’s body shape while slightly rising the carabiners at-
tachment points. The harness is slightly more neutral and overall stable. Without the seatplate the harness feels tighter.
Note that in case of a situation beyond the wing’s safety limitations, toggle control must compensate for the lack of pressure and preci-
sion given by a seatplate.
