^ Greg flying the WANI LIGHT 2 on a rare flyable day this winter in England
"The WANI LIGHT 2 rolls a lot which is good for light conditions but beginners might find it overwhelming just in terms of the amount of feedback," says Greg: “But it was very comfortable in the air, I felt nicely supported and the straps had enough adjustment.”
In this edition: reviews of the BGD Cure 2 (EN C), the reversible WANI LIGHT 2 from Woody Valley, and an in-depth discussion with the X-Alps master pilot, Chrigel Maurer.

Woody Valley Wani Light 2 review
The WANI LIGHT 2 is a reversible airbag harness with integrated back protection and reserve, similar to the Supair Altirando Lite and Gin Verso 3, intended to help you get your kit really compact and still have some back protection. Although the Skywalk Breeze and Advance Easiness 3 are similar, they are split-leg designs with no seatboard. The WANI LIGHT 2 has a broad lightweight seatplate that helps to improve the minimalistic (but certified) crash protection and provides maximum weightshift control and feedback.

What customers are saying
"Very knowledgeable and will spend as long as it takes to get you comfortable with your kit. Even better, they're not happy to just sell you anything. They'll advise what is best based on what you tell them regarding your level of experience. So if they think a piece of kit is not suitable, they won't sell you it! "
