Kitto is a seatboard-free design which give a hammock like support. Set up correctly the harness gives equal support to all body parts, leading to maximum comfort and relaxed position during flight.  The Geometry and webbing construction were fine tuned to find the perfect balance between comfort and activeness. The Kitto will transmit exactly what the wing is doing, but in a way which is reassuring and not surprising.

Comfort without sacrificing on weight or safety was the objective, achieved by having sufficient seat and lumbar support by using lines connecting the side of the hammock to the carabiners . The airfoam protector serves as additional support to the hammock seat resulting in the desired activeness and feel.
The harness is supplied in a default factory setting so that most pilots will not need to make any further adjustments to the secondary support lines (green in the image).

Special attention was given to the speed system. The ball bearing pulley position was carefully placed so that the harness does not pitch up or down while applying the speed system.
Regardless of your wing, you will be amazed how easy it is to push the speed bar with this harness.

The Kitto has a low drag profile for aerodynamic efficiency and an extremely clean surface to minimise friction drag!
The elastic pod is made from the same, PU coated lycra cloth already proven on the Swift Sport and Zero harnesses. This pod material is highly elastic, contributing to a very tight, wrinkle-free structure. The PU coating is windproof for a cozy warm feeling even at the highest, coldest altitudes.

The rear pocket is large enough to accommodate a light backpack, water bladder and more.

A zipped closed rescue bridle channel contributes to the sleek harness surface and a safe secure reserve deployment sequence.

The pilot protection environment of the KITTO is as extensive as is possible in a lightweight pod:
A 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 on any competition harness.

The airfoam with its energy absorbing capabilities will reduce impact in the case of an accident or bad landing. The Lexan plate will spread the load of a sharp impact (Rocks etc) over the area of the airfoam and will prevent penetration of object sharp objects (usually tree branches) through the harness .

The Kitto’s Reserve Parachute System is a result of many prototypes and deployment tests, and the end result is a system that is compact, safe and intuitive to deploy. The reserve container is situated on the back of the harness, with a volume of 5.9 litres, it is large enough to accommodate modern reserve parachutes such as our MD SQ,  all SLT models, LT up to size 20 and regular MD up to size 18. The position of the reserve is as close as possible to the body’s CG (Center of Gravity) making the harness stay compact and cohesive with the movement of the pilot, both during take-off and in the air.

The reserve container and bridle arrangement are separately and neatly secured with a zipper closing system which allows for very fast, low friction opening.
