Target

Cross-country and Hike & Fly

The Arrow P has been designed for the most demanding hike & fly pilots. An ergonomic and compact harness perfectly suited for XC flights as well as vol biv adventures in the mountains. Travel long distances on foot or in the air with a lightweight, stable and comfortable harness.

Features

Protection system

Niviuk has worked to develop a very compact foam protection that offers the best compromise between lightness and impacts absorption. At 14 cm thick and weighing 320 g, it is made of three different layers of low density foam. This protection helps to provide a very comfortable seat without the need for a seat plate on the harness.

Additionally, you can order Apair inflatable protection. It is ideal for pilots looking for small volume, safety and lightness on their hike & fly adventures. EN and LTF certified, this ultralight protector weights only 240 g and distinguishes itself by its efficiency and practicality. It is delivered with the Infbag cover, which facilitates inflation and also serves as a compression bag for packing and transporting the harness.

Excellent stability in flight

In order to ensure total comfort, Niviuk’s R&D team has worked hard on the chassis to guarantee a high level of flight stability. Thanks to the triangulation system applied, the Arrow P is a stable harness that better absorbs excess movements transmitted to the pilot, making it more efficient, especially in accelerated flight.

Integrated parachute

Niviuk has focused on safety and ease of use by integrating the parachute container on the right side of the harness. This makes it more user-friendly, especially in everyday use, and much more comfortable.

Aerodynamic performance

The fairing optimises its aerodynamic shape, reducing drag. This makes it more balanced in yaw, resulting in a more stable, high-performing and precise harness

.

The perfect fit

On the  Arrow P, the chest strap is adjustable and the shoulder straps can be adjusted to your preference with a simple loop on the maillon. It also has adjustable back and lumbar straps to adapt the angle and the harness to the pilot’s body shape. The pod can be removed with a zip for easy replacement.

Arrow P, a harness for all pilots

The knowledge gained from the development of the Arrow and Drifter 2 harnesses has been applied to design an extremely light pod harness that offers high performance and aerodynamics. The Arrow P is very compact and easy to pack.

P Series harness with fairing

Thanks to technical know-how and optimisation of materials, Niviuk has been able to develop the  Arrow P: one of the lightest pod harnesses on the market, without sacrificing the features and performance of the standard models. It has been extensively researched in terms of structure, materials, durability and strength. Big teamwork to offer the best quality in all aspects.

 Adjustable Harness Geometry

The Arrow P Harness offers an array of adjustments to tailor the fit to each pilot’s body. This customization ensures that comfort and control are never compromised, whether during takeoff, in-flight maneuvers, or landing.

Key adjustments include:

• Backrest Height: Adjustable to match individual spine length, promoting proper posture and reducing back strain.

• Seat Depth: Pilots can modify the seating angle for maximum comfort, improving leg circulation during long flights.

• Shoulder and Chest Straps: Fine-tuned tension ensures stability without restricting movement, allowing precise handling and reducing fatigue.

• Leg Strap Adjustment: Supports correct positioning while maintaining freedom of motion for easy ground handling and running launches.

By allowing pilots to personalize their harness fit, the Arrow P reduces discomfort and pressure points, making extended flights more enjoyable and productive.

Load Distribution for Extended Flight Comfort

Even weight distribution is critical in paragliding, and the Arrow P Harness excels in this area. Proper load management reduces localized strain and allows pilots to maintain optimal body posture effortlessly.

Features supporting load distribution include:

• Ergonomic Seat Design: Contoured to align with the natural curvature of the pelvis and spine, providing comfort and stability.

• Back Support System: Adjusts dynamically during flight to balance weight and prevent slumping or leaning.

• Integrated Padding: Strategically placed to relieve pressure points, especially around the lower back, thighs, and shoulders.

This attention to load management not only improves comfort but also enhances control, as the pilot’s movements translate more efficiently into wing response. Pilots report that the Arrow P Harness feels like a natural extension of the body, fostering confidence in every maneuver.Lightweight harness

Lightweight harness Ventilation and Climate Control

Long flights can expose pilots to varying weather conditions, from direct sunlight to high humidity. The Arrow P Harness integrates breathable, high-performance materials to maintain comfort across environments.

Climate-conscious features include:

• Mesh Panels: Promote airflow across the back and seat, reducing heat buildup during summer flights.

• Moisture-Wicking Fabrics: Keep pilots dry and comfortable, even in humid conditions.

• Strategic Vent Placement: Ensures that critical areas of the body remain ventilated without compromising structural integrity.

By managing temperature and moisture, the harness keeps pilots comfortable and alert, reducing distractions caused by heat, sweat, or discomfort. This design helps maintain focus and precision, crucial during cross-country flights or competition scenarios.Niviuk Arrow P

Niviuk Arrow P Pilot-Focused Design

Every element of the Arrow P Harness is designed with pilot experience in mind. Beyond basic adjustments, thoughtful touches enhance usability, accessibility, and overall comfort.

Pilot-focused innovations include:

• Easy-to-Reach Adjustments: All straps and buckles are positioned intuitively for quick changes on the ground or mid-flight.

• Ergonomic Storage Compartments: Provides convenient access to essentials like water, instruments, or snacks without disrupting balance.

• Smooth Gliding Systems: Ensure that adjustments can be made quietly and efficiently, preventing distraction or frustration.

• Minimal Restriction of Movement: Pilots can execute turns, weight shifts, and launch techniques freely, enhancing both safety and enjoyment.Niviuk Arrow P

These design considerations contribute to a harness that feels natural, intuitive, and supportive, making it ideal for flights ranging from a few minutes to full-day excursions.

Transition from Comfort to Performance

Comfort and ergonomics are not just about reducing fatigue—they directly influence flight performance. When a pilot is comfortable and supported, movements are precise, reactions are faster, and energy is conserved for optimal maneuvering.

The Arrow P Harness balances safety, comfort, and ergonomics in a way that allows pilots to:

• Maintain proper posture for better wing control.

• Execute precise maneuvers with minimal effort.

• Enjoy longer flights without experiencing strain or discomfort.

By integrating advanced ergonomics with performance-oriented design, the harness ensures that comfort becomes a performance enhancer rather than a passive feature.
