Sizing | |
![]() | The SLT Low harness is offered in two sizes with several adjustments to fit most pilots: Variable length of the back – adjusted by opening or closing a zipper on the bottom back of the harness. This adjustment typically accommodates taller pilots and also lowers the position of the pilot compared to the frame hanging points for a more reclined body position. Harness to swing arm attachment point has 2 optional heights to be chosen according to frame geometry and pilot size. The lower point will result in a more reclined seat and will typically accommodate shorter pilots. The higher point will result in a more upright position and easier exit from the harness, typically accommodates taller pilots. Adjustable length of other parts including shoulder straps, side strap, front flap, legs, chest and waist straps. |
It is highly recommended to use reserve parachute on any flight. APCO offers a range of Mayday parachutes, compatible with the specifically designed Emergency parachute compartment which can be Zipped on and off either side of the harness and is interchangeable with a zipped on Pocket.
The safety webbing will save the pilot in case of side arm failure – it is connected under the seat, vertically aligned on the same load vector as the carabiner to retain the same seating angle in the case of such a failure.
Optional Airbag will provide additional protection in case of impact with the ground.

Two different sizes – extremely versatile achieved through an innovative zip sizing system, combined with dual height hang points.
Taller pilot use the upper hang points with the zip open, and shorter pilots use the upper hang points with the zipper closed.
In this version of the harness, we have moved the zip to the outside (rear), for increased comfort.
For the right size for you, please refer to the APCO sizing table and consult with your frame manufacturer and instructor.
No!
The reason is that paramotor harnesses are designed to be hung from the middle of the side arms.
The main harness hook hook up points are connected to the front of the side arms, but using the side arms in reality your hanging point is somewhere in the middle of the side arms.
Using a paramotor harness main hook up points as the main hang points without side arms will result in harness position in which you are 90 degrees rotated backwards looking straight up to the canopy.
It is very dangerous and impossible to use in this way.
Ground handling is possible, but if there will be even momentarily enough lift to disattach the pilot from the ground, you will be flipped onto your back!
You can to test this out yourself by performing a simple, stationary hang check in a safe environment.
Attaching the carabiners to any other point in the harness other than the main hang points is also strictly forbidden due to strength considerations of the harness.
