Goal
Open lightweight harness
Why Goal?
The GOAL is a brand new free flying, open harness. Our goal on this project was to develop a harness which is simple, yet comfortable, lightweight, yet durable aimed at anyone from students through weekend pilots.
The GOAL is a full feature harness.
Fully certified up to 120kg. it weighs only 2.7 kg. including foam back protector.
Additional lexan plate is included for extra protection, making sure any sharp impacts are spread over the entire area of the foam protector.
Weight saving was achieved by incorporating Dyneema webbings, with no compromise on strength or safety.
Butt Landing – no problem. The GOAL has ultra-durable bottom material to protect against damage of sliding butt landings.
Reserve handle – big, easy to reach, bright and reflective!! Positioned under the main carabiner for locating easily by sliding your hand from the riser to the carabiner through the main webbing directly to the handle. This is specifically important in cases where the pilot is being thrown around making locating the handle more challenging.
To reach your goals – choose this harness!!
Body Geometry
Get-Up System – only 2 buckles secure the entire harness with legs and chest straps secured together in a way that insures that there is no option to forget securing either legs or chest strap! Transition from standing to sitting, or from sitting to landing position is easy, comfortable and safe. The Get-Up system insures that leg straps are at the correct length for these easy transitions.
Back Incline position is adjustable into one of two preset options – easy, light and intuitive.
Seatboard is made of lightweight polycomb material, supporting the body weight and evenly spreading weight distribution.
Shoulder straps are adjustable in length using Aluminium Edelrid “loop and slide” buckles and are secured with a chest buckle with Fidlock magnetic buckle which is extremely convenient to us even with gloves or in case of emergency.
Available in 2 sizes – S/M and L/XL to fit any pilot.
Storage
The Goal has a large rear compartment to fit everything you need with ease.
Inside the back pocket a mesh compartment for your CamelBak hydration pack with a dedicated port for exit of the drinking tube. mesh compartment to keep you hydrated during your Side pocket – large and deep on the left side, accessible during flight,and includes a safety loop to secure a phone or camera.
On the shoulder strap a velcro mount to safely install electronic flying instrument.
The coolest feature are 2 magnetic attachments for the speed system, super-easy to stow and kick to open during flight. (Recommended with APCO’s Wonder Bar)
Lightweight
Starting at only 2.7kg including the protector and Lexan sheet!
The weight saving on the Goal is done by using Dyneema webbings, polycomb seatplate and reducing metal hardware to the minimum. These are smart savings that do not compromise on durability, safety or comfort.
Pilot Suitability
The Goal is an open harness, with seat-board intended for solo free flight use. It is an all-round harness, that can be used from your first solo flights to XC exploring, packs small for travel and light enough for hike and fly.

One color only: Black with Gray
Fully EN certified to 120 [kg]. The crash protection includes a full 17 [cm] Airfoam protector in combination with a lexan sheet offering the best possible protection against any type of impact.
Pilot Protection
The Goal features a full 17 [cm] Airfoam protector combining a lexan sheet which aids in spreading the load over the absorbing area of the airfoam, offering the maximum protection available.
The airfoam with its energy absorbing capabilities will protect from any large impact. The Lexan sheet plate will spread any sharp impact (Rock edges) over the area of the airfoam and will prevent penetration of object (tree branches) through the harness in case of an accident.
Reflective elements incorporated into the harness insure visibility in low light situations. Waiting for pick-up on the side of the road at sundown you will be happy that your harness is reflective as drivers can be aware from far away.
Reserve System
The Goal has a simple reserve compartment, under the seat main emergency compartment incorporating a zipper closing bridle channel for clean interface on the harness with no sand or dirt entering into the reserve compartment.
The parachute compartment is ideally suited to take the range of APCO Mayday parachutes, which have proven themselves time and time again, saving hundreds of pilots over the years. The compartment itself is secured with 2 separate zippers allowing for extremely easy extraction of the reserve in case of need – even in high G situations!
Why is the air-foam not all the way under the seat?
Protection wise: we believe this is one of the most comprehensive harnesses in the category, as most harnesses do not have the lexan plate. (protects against sharp objects and spreads concentrated impacts..)
1. The protection of the GOAL is composed out of both the airfoam and under the seat reserve parachute. The reserve parachute continues the airfoam protection under the seat in case of any impact during take-off and landing.
In case of emergency deployment the shoulder bridle points transition the pilot into hangman position in which impact will be to the legs first and a only after to the back where the airfoam will be positioned during reserve landing.
Under the seat there must be space for water ballast (C.G) and the reserve so there is a technical restriction. I believe it is similar with all harnesses in this category.
Customers should also understand that nothing is allowed to press against the reserve compartment – as this can cause deployment problems..
The Goal harness is supplied as standard, complete with:
- Polycomb Seatplate
- Airfoam Protector and Lexan plate.
