Materials
We have used materials that are as light as possible, but also resilient over time. These materials were carefully researched by PRS for this specific application. The upper and lower surfaces are made from a specially developed cloth from Porcher Marine, which is triple silicone coated and 34g per meter instead of the normal 44g cloth. The profiles are made with 39g Porcher. The main lines are made from lightweight Aramid and the uppers are heat treated Dyneema all produced by Liros, these lines believe it or not, make a reasonable weight saving. The risers are made from a pre-stretched heat-treated 8mm Dyneema. (DAN 1000kg)
The Harness available are Sup’Air’s lightweight mountaineering harness the Radical or Altiplume. The Radical can have back protection that is removable for the real hard-core weight watchers. Sup’Air also produces the backpack, designed to be small and light but just big enough to fit all your equipment inside including helmet and rescue.
