The Advance Lightness 3 (Size L) is a lightweight, seatboardless XC pod harness designed for pilots between 178 cm and 200 cm tall. It is celebrated for its “all-embracing comfort” and modular protection system, which includes a foam protector and a removable visco-elastic SAS-TEC back plate.

Features and Design
Modular System: Pilots can choose between a Standard Speedbag (durable, compatible with an optional windshield) and a Light Speedbag (250g lighter, simpler cockpit).
Enhanced Stability: Compared to the Lightness 2, this model features higher attachment points and redesigned strap geometry for better stability in active air, especially while using the speed bar.
SAS-TEC Protection: A removable hard-shell plate along the back protects against impacts, complementing the underseat foam protector.
Optional Windshield: Only compatible with the Standard Speedbag, it reduces wind chill and noise, significantly lowering fatigue on long cross-country flights.
Inflating Neck Collar: Streamlines aerodynamics behind the pilot’s head and automatically fills during flight via a small air intake.
