[quote]“The Atlas is certified for use with all harnesses with variable cross -bracing (GH type).
Practically all modern harnesses are GH type harnesses. Older harnesses with fixed cross - bracing (GX type) are not certified and should not be used. Check with the manufacturer of the harness or your paragliding instructor if in doubt whether your harness is a GH or GX type harness.”

et une autre sur paragliding forum, de Jerome Daoust en 2005
[quote]"In the early 90’s wings would be recommended for GH or GX types of harnesses, GX having more cross-bracing.
Today the GH types dominate, and most DHV test reports certify the wings for this type. Example report (see 5th line).
Still GH types of harness have some degree of cross-bracing. Some manufacturers call it ABS or whatever, but you do get some diagonal links to reduce the roll motion in the harness in reaction to uneven loading of the half-wings. Often, the diagonals come more into play (stabilizing the roll in the harness) when the chests strap is thightened (making the top of the diagonals closer) and the shoulder straps also tightened.
Of course you will see some manufacter recommend using their harness for their wings (like Advance). Some even saying it is designed for their wings. More on marketing.
Then again there is the reverse marketing with some manufacturer claiming their harness will improve the performance with any wing (Airwave Ram Race).
Just choose the best wing and harness, regardless of brands, as long as your harness matches the type your wing is certified for (most likely GH today)’.

Si les sellettes GX étaient en cours de disparition en 2005, alors je ne crois pas qu’on en trouve encore beaucoup …
Pour ceux qui se posent la question le G de GH signifie “Gurtzeug”. Le “X” et “H” pour la représentation des sangles de poitrine…
