The APCO Pilot Harness is specifically designed for professional tandem paragliding pilots, prioritizing comfort, safety, ease of use, and maximum protection. It is intended to be used as part of a synchronized set with the APCO Passenger Harness, optimizing their performance together. However, the Pilot Harness can also be used independently.
