Steerable reserves
A steerable reserve can be connected directly to the two colou-
red support points under the shoulder strap covers, using two simil-
ar Maillons Rapide of 2400 daN safe working load. The parachute ri-
sers run into the reserve compartment in the channel provided. The
normal harness V-connection (not used) can be led into the back com-
partment through the existing opening, then stowed away in the com-
fort foam pocket. Once again a compatibility test will decide if the cho-
sen reserve works properly with the LIGHTNESS 3.
Caution: steerable reserves tend to take up more volume.
Info: you can also use QuickOut carabiners with a steerable re-
serve on the LIGHTNESS 3.
In general
The reserve handle and the four-flap inner container are fixed together
and this combination is designed so that the pull of the handle acts
equally over the whole width of the inner container. This minimises
the risk of the container jamming in the reserve compartment, or the
reserve lines getting caught up. The reserve handle together with the
four-flap inner container are essential parts of the harness, and this ar-
rangement conforms to the latest LTF certification requirements. Only
the original reserve handle with its four-flap inner container is allowed
to be used.
Packing the reserve in the inner container
Always fold your reserve to the shape and dimensions of the inner con-
tainer supplied with the LIGHTNESS 3. At the final packing stage put
the line bundles opposite the reserve handle. When the lines have be-
en stowed in the inner container there should be 90 cm of reserve line
remaining outside, between the inner container and bridle/steerable
