F*Lite ultra light harness

The Ozone F*Lite is here for those lightweight pilots who want the lightest gear possible. Weighing in at close to 100 grams and fully load tested, this is as light it goes. Since we previewed this harness at St Hilaire, Fred has spent the months refining the pilot comfort and we are now happy to launch the M size -t weighs a mere 103 grams. There will be S and L sizes at a later date. Also available is a new Big LinkLite as the harness to riser attachment. This is an optional extra when ordering an F*Lite.

The Ozone F*Lite is an ultra-light harness for hike & fly pilots, and para-alpinists. The current version, which has now passed EN Load tests for 100kg, weighs in at 99 grams. Fred Pieri and the Ozone R&D Team approached this project not by thinking about how to change existing harness designs, but by focusing on what purpose a harness actually needs to serve. After many prototypes which experimented with harness geometry, Fred and the team re-focused on the materials used. The Ozone F*Lite’s load bearing structure is made from Dyneema thread and webbing, and carbon compression bars. Orienting the Dyneema thread pattern was achieved via an algorithm which determined the stress patterns on the harness – the thread pattern was then specifically designed to cover these areas. The resulting thread pattern may appear somewhat random, but is in fact precisely calculated, and sewn.
