Compared to its predecessor, the Evo Lite, Flybubble Nancy and I feel that overall the Evo Lite 2 is a very nicely executed evolution of this. Supair have wisely kept all of the good aspects of the original, which I think made it so successful - it was a bestseller, highly praised - whilst improving the overall design and many details. It even looks better, I think most will agree (not that the previous version looked bad, it's more the new version looks really good). More specific details below... Although the total weight of the new version is similar - slightly less, with more included - the new design means it folds and packs down significantly smaller (in a similar way to how Advance's standard open harnesses fold). Despite the many significant improvements and an expanded package (now including reserve bridles and a speed system) Supair somehow even managed to reduce the price of the new model in the face of generally rising costs. The included reserve bridles are Supair's high quality Dyneema ones, which are lightweight yet strong. Unlike some harnesses the reserve bridles are removable, which is a nice bonus should you wish to fit a steerable reserve e.g. High Adventure Beamer 3 / light (Rogallo style) or Charly Diamond- or Target- Cross (square/cruciform style). At first glance the included speed system seems a bit basic but later you realise that it's been cleverly designed / optimised such that works well with in all three 'modes': naked, foot stirrup and pod. A more fancy speed system with stiff bar would not have worked well with the pod, meaning you'd have to buy a speedbag compatible speed system and change this over. Anything I've missed? 🤔
I own one, I like it but for me it’s been really hard to get into the speed bag. It seems to be a bit short so I think the size runs a bit small. Otherwise it is a really nice harness
Hey thanks for sharing your pilot owner feedback! 🙏 From our testing Nancy and I have found it relatively easy to get into the speedbag of the Evo Lite 2. 😺 We agree the sizing runs a little small compared to some equivalent models from other brands e.g. Advance and Gin. Similar to some other brands e.g. AirDesign, Kortel, Niviuk and Woody Valley. 🤓 We've found that a good rough rule of thumb is if you're near the top limit of a size ( flybubble.com/supair-evo-lite-2 ) then go for the size up. Since there are 4 sizes of the Evo Lite 2, there's a bit more overlap between sizes than those with fewer sizes. 💡
Thank you very much for this! It is insightful. You say it is more stable than the WV wani 2 light or wani 3. Does the evo have the option on changing stabilization in flight? Also, I have been searching the web on how big/small it packs. The Supair website does not show and the different video’s do neither. Would you happen to have a picture? Thank you in advance.
I can imagine other manufacturers eventually coming out with more modular products and improve on each other…will see. The flying there looked glorious. Thanks for the detailed review! 🪂
Actually this modular concept is not new. It's been done before, with varying degrees of success. Most were not-so-good or bad - too complicated and a not-so-good or bad compromise for each mode. Some of the best examples were the previous two models of this harness, the Evo Lite and the Evo XC 3. From our testing we feel that Supair have done particularly good job with the Evo Lite 2, making it super easy to change from one mode to the other and each mode work well.
@@flybubblecarlo 😁 Летаем , термичка наборы до 1500м но сезон только начинается . Есть много полётов в динамике . На Сахалине очень много неизведанных мест для полётов на параплане!👍
@@Fpv65 👍😁😄 The season is also just beginning here. Although as far as I can tell the weather has been mostly bad for flying in the UK and across Europe for most of this winter in the northern hemisphere, we've already had some good and even great days!

I like this idea of modular harness. More brands should do this. Great review thanks Flybubble!!
Modularity - very interesting indeed! Thanks for watching 🙏
Hmmm, a real pod harness should have different seat an geometry compared to a seat/open harness
@@E620SE Hey, thanks for sharing your point of view. 🙂 Interesting, what makes you say that? 🤓
@@flybubblecarlo in my opinion the angles are different and it's not easy to design a harness which work for big bandwidth of angles
Sounds like a good idea for us newbies who want to move up at some point but don't know when to commit.
It is a great package for progressing through different stages. 🚀

Hopefully your making a review for the Ikuma 3 P soon, really consider bying it
Yes, we've tested the Niviuk Ikuma 3 and plan to make a review as soon as we can. 🤓
ps. If you can't wait, we can give you a personalized review via our Flybubble Match service, info on flybubble.com
@@flybubblecarlo Still waiting for it. Will it come out soon?
Es una buena silla practica y cómoda megusta ❤
Agreed, Nancy and I think it's a good, practical and comfortable harness and we like it too! 😄

The flying in Colombia this year was glorious for us! 😁 For our trip, it was flyable 17 days out 17 - so got to do a lot of XC flying and testing! 😃
