Foot Stirrups for Greater Comfort in Flight
A foot stirrup can significantly improve comfort in a paragliding harness. After take-off, it helps the pilot move into a relaxed leg position and maintain a comfortable seating posture during longer flights. Depending on the design, models differ in weight, shape, rigidity and attachment method.
A well-positioned foot stirrup can be particularly useful during cross-country and long thermal flights. Lightweight models are also interesting for Hike & Fly and weight-conscious harness setups, while other designs focus on providing a stable and comfortable platform for the legs.
Compatibility with the harness and its attachment system is essential. The length should also be adjusted carefully so that the feet rest comfortably without putting unnecessary tension on the system or interfering with operation of the speed system.
