Thank you for choosing ADVANCE. We are one of the worldwide leading paraglider manufacturers, based in Switzerland. Since 1988 we have consistently followed our own plans and ideas for both development and production. The PROGRESS 3 combines robust build, compact shape and reduced weight. The use of an innovative Air-Foam Hybrid-Protector is mainly responsible for the weight saving. It is lighter than a conventional foam protector, but provides the same comprehensive level of protection. Enhanced Leg Pads and an ergonomic body-conforming seat surface ensures maximum comfort in flight. We...

Easy Connect The EASY CONNECT System makes clipping an ADVANCE paraglider to the harness quite straightforward. Make sure that the red and blue lines on the PROGRESS 3 support loops agree with the red and blue lines on the paraglider risers. Carabiner locators make sure that the FORAS carabiners remain in place in the harness support loops. Protector The Air-Foam Hybrid-Protector automatically fills with air when the rucksack is reversed into a harness, and under normal circumstances is ready to function after about 60 seconds. For maintenance it can be taken out of its own compartment...

All the straps arrive at their basic settings. This is marked by white sewing for the shoulder and back straps. To arrange your perfect personal adjustments start from these settings. Hang up the PROGRESS 3 by its carabiners, sit in the harness and close the chest strap (this will include the leg loops). 1. Back strap adjustment The relatively high back straps, at the sides, provide good back support and take pressure from the shoulders. They set the upper body recline angle. Pulled in they create an upright back position. Completely released results in more of a lying attitude. ADVANCE...

Installing a reserve Fitting a reserve into a harness must be done by a skilled person – your safety depends on it! The PROGRESS 3 manual explains the steps required in detail. Make sure that your reserve conforms to the volume range certified for your PROGRESS 3: Sizes S & M: 2.5 to 6 litres, Size L: 3 to 6.5 litres. As a rough approximation you can use the reserve weight/volume factor (reserve weight in kgs x 2.7 = volume in litres). Depending on packing technique and skill a reserve that conforms to the certified volume limits – if calculated by this formula may still not release...

So that the paraglider can be packed as space-efficiently as possible in the rucksack the PROGRESS 3 is supplied with a compression bag. This COMPRESSBAG is perfectly matched to the rucksack and replaces the normal paraglider inner bag. Pack your glider in the conically shaped COMPRESSBAG as usual, then close the side zips. This squeezes excess air out of wing and COMPRESSBAG, and minimises its volume. Enough space will then remain in the rucksack for clothing and instruments. Put the COMPRESSBAG at the bottom of the rucksack, to fill up this space. Pull the lower section of the rucksack...
