Advance Progress 4

The new inflatable protector provides protection down to the lower back, while the ergonomic leg straps and optimized back support ensure a relaxed flight. Whether for thermal flying, travel, hike-and-fly, or training, the PROGRESS 4 is the ideal companion for anyone looking for a versatile, comfortable, and universal harness combined with a functional backpack.

Letting our ideas take flight—that’s what we do. For over 30 years, at ADVANCE we have always put the needs and wishes of our pilots first. With Swiss precision, we refine each model: the highest quality and absolute reliability are our top priorities, both in the air and in our services. Thus, we have evolved from pioneers to perfectionists and have become a leading global supplier worldwide.

A harness that remains stable in both flight path and roll thanks to the leg straps. • Modular harness-backpack system starting at 3.3 kg, featuring a removable and functional backpack. • Maximum protection thanks to the new inflatable protector, whose protective effect extends all the way to the lumbar region. • Significantly increased comfort thanks to optimized back support and an ergonomic fit. • New: adjustable waist strap for an even more personalized adjustment of stability and maneuverability.

MAXIMUM PROTECTION FOR MINIMAL WEIGHT The new inflatable protector offers an exceptionally wide protection zone, extending all the way to the lumbar region. Despite its high level of protection, it stands out for its featherweight design and compact size when stowed. The protector is inflated before takeoff, providing optimal protection from the very first moment.

EASY INFLATION Inflation has never been easier thanks to the new FLOWBAG inflation bag, which weighs just 33 grams. It takes barely three inflations of the FLOWBAG to fully inflate the protector. For even greater convenience, the new electric pump is available as an option. Weighing just 42 grams, it makes inflation particularly easy and also facilitates quick deflation of the protector.

ULTRA-FUNCTIONAL BACKPACK Completely redesigned, this backpack impresses with its high level of comfort and well-thought-out features. The new shoulder straps, inspired by trail running, ensure a snug fit and optimal weight distribution. The spacious pockets on the shoulder straps allow you to keep a smartphone, soft-sided water bottles, and more within easy reach. As a result, the PROGRESS 4 offers optimal comfort and maximum practicality, not only in the air but also on the way to the launch site. Standard package contents Size S: 75 liters Size M: 85 liters Size L: 95 liters

CAPTURE YOUR ADVENTURES Flying experiences are meant to be shared. That’s why the PROGRESS 4 is equipped with an integrated selfie stick mount, allowing you to easily and securely attach a camera. This allows you to capture impressive aerial shots without resorting to makeshift solutions. For optimal safety during takeoff, we recommend sliding the selfie stick down and positioning it as desired only after takeoff.

THE ACCELERATOR IS ALREADY INSTALLED The PROGRESS 4 comes with its accelerator, complete with a carbon fiber bar. The accelerator slides along the harness thanks to its ball-bearing pulleys, and it is already installed upon delivery.
