AUTO MUSKET 20mm
In paragliding, it is imperative to use a connector that is suitable for the straps (harness and risers) on which it is going to be mounted. The resistance of the connector can be drastically reduced if the loads in flight do not respect the main axis of the connector used.
(See technical article "Reflection on ... connectors") www.korteldesign.com/reflexion-sur-les-connecteurs/)
Designed for webbing widths between 10 and 25mm, it allows for optimal operation with light harnesses and sails with narrow risers.
