The RACE is an ultralight cocoon harness based on the evolution of the RACE pro, which is the most "extreme" version used by athletes in major Hike & Fly competitions (X-Alps, X-Pyr...).
Le dernier système de stabilisation, pesant seulement 89 g, offre la possibilité de modifier la géométrie de la sellette cocon tout en gardant les commandes en main. Pour ceux qui préfèrent ne pas utiliser cette fonctionnalité, notre recommandation est de ne pas le retirer, mais plutôt de ranger discrètement les cordages dans la poche spécialement prévue à cet effet.
Pour développer la Race Pro, version extrême du cocon Race, Woody Valley a souhaité créer une protection ultralégère, compacte et performante. C’est ainsi qu’est né le concept de protection semi-rigide (PRS) qui a ensuite été appliqué à la sellette Race.
Compte tenu de la popularité des protections gonflables IPE “airbag”, ils ont décidé de conserver ce concept, mais en le modernisant avec des matériaux plus légers, comme ils l’avaient fait pour la GTO Light 2.
Le compartiment du parachute de secours est de 5,6 litres, identique à celui du QUADRO 140. On retrouve un aimant sur la poignée du secours pour la maintenir en place.

Brand
Woody Walley
Born out of a common passion for hang gliding between two Italian friends in the 1980s, Woody Valley is now one of the world's leading manufacturers of harnesses.
The origin of the name Woody Valley is a touching story: Woody was the name of a dog that belonged to one of their pilot friends. He was a friendly dog, much loved by the whole group. Unfortunately Woody died in 1982, and his owner, Riccardo Segata, buried him in a small valley, which later became one of their favourite flying sites, and which he romantically renamed "Woody Valley". Soon the whole group started calling the place 'Woody Valley'. In the same period, the hang-gliding club "Woody Valley" was founded, and it later became one of the biggest and most famous free flying clubs in Italy.
The paragliding harness is often the first investment.
It is your main steering device and the one that will follow us throughout our progress... The link between you and your wing, which has to be perfectly adjusted for a precise control efficient and comfortable.
A choice not to be overlooked. The shop offers a wide range of harnesses to suit your riding style, and we'll be happy to help you choose the right model and adjust it to your gantry.
Reversible harness for the adventurous, with legstraps ultralights for sportsmen, cocoon or two-seater for experienced pilots, or an acro harness for those who are not afraid of the cold :)
Paragliding is a fast-growing sport, and our designers love to take on your challenges!
Don't hesitate to bring your paraglider with you, as the vast majority of our harnesses are made to measure. available for trial. Communication between the paraglider and the harness is very important; some duos are more efficient than others, and may or may not filter flight information too much. The gantry test is good, the flight test is even better!
Our shop does not aim to offer you EVERYTHING on the harness market. We have selected the best products in terms of comfort, innovation, value for money and reliability over time.
Our partners NEO, GIN, SKYWALK, OZONE, ADVANCE, SUPAIR, KORTEL WOODY VALLEY, SKY put their trust in us.

There's one question in every paraglider's life: switching to a cocoon harness.
The cocoon harness is the ultimate in comfort The coverleg is designed to provide total support, encompassing the entire body and reducing pressure points, as well as support for the legs, which gives the pilot rest and allows you to fly faster for longer, and effective protection against the cold, thanks to the coverleg.
Cocoon or not cocoon?
You're ready to take the plunge if :
You are comfortable with the semi-recumbent position, which will require you to position your whole body differently when leaning on the harness.
Yaw movements will have to be approached differently. Your pelvis is a little higher, and with it your centre of gravity, so instability will be a little more pronounced than in a sports harness. However, the leg straps help to reduce this effect.
You're ready to bend your legs as soon as an unfamiliar sensation arrives.
Cocoon harnesses are no longer just for paragliding competitors. Their comfort has seduced adventurers and they are becoming lighter to accompany your bivouac flights...
We have a whole range of cocoon harnesses for you to try out. Here you'll find your first cocoon, stable and without too many adjustments, or light and with leg straps for mountain take-offs, with a large storage volume for the bivouac or a beautiful foiler for optimised aerodynamics... Come and try it out!
