😎Do You have any experiences with the EVO LITE 2? 💥 PROS & CONS from our testing: PROS: - Suitable for a wide range of pilots and flying, - Durable and complete, yet light and compact, - Position adjustable from upright to semi-reclined, - Excellent comfort, both on the ground and in flight, with plenty of adjustment, - Nicely balanced 'Goldilocks' handling; nicely weight-shifty, not too unstable, - Well-designed reserve system and handle and container, volume 3.5-7L, - Compatible with most model solo reserves container, volume 3.5-7L, - In open mode, works very well with the Supair cockpits, - Good storage, very good build quality, excellent value for money, - Optional foot stirrup with attachment system to keep safe from the reserve, - Optional speedbag converts to a nice pod harness, exceptionally easy to fit, - Speed system works for all three modes: naked, foot stirrup and pod, CONS: - Not the cheapest standard open harness (not the most expensive either), - As a pod harness, not quite as good as a dedicated pod (but very good), - Not the largest storage volume of all (but good, not the least), - Reserve handle could be a bit neater (but fine, no issues), - Speed system connection could be a bit neater (but fine), - Included speed bar could be a bit higher quality (but fine), - Build quality not as good as Advance (similar to others), Enjoyed this review? 👍Like 💬 Comment 🔔Subscribe 🏹 Share

I like this idea of modular harness. More brands should do this. Great review thanks Flybubble!!

Hmmm, a real pod harness should have different seat an geometry compared to a seat/open harness

@@flybubblecarlo in my opinion the angles are different and it's not easy to design a harness which work for big bandwidth of angles

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? 🤔

Sounds like a good idea for us newbies who want to move up at some point but don't know when to commit.

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.

Agreed, Nancy and I think it's a good, practical and comfortable harness and we like it too! 😄

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.
