NEO STAY UP
The StayUp is NEO’s latest technical offering, designed for XC pilots.
It provides an outstanding balance of weight and stability, weighing in at just 1.45kg. The StayUp’s unique pre-shaped seat allows the most relaxed position of any light harness on the market. The StayUp can be flown with or without the protection.
The StayUp has the same geometry as the NEO Suspender, which has become known for its stability and precision in turns.
The leg straps are equipped with manual NEO buckles.
The harness is 100% made in France, with materials specially developed by NEO and our suppliers, including ripstop Dyneema which is hyper-resistant to abrasion and tear, and exclusive to NEO. This ultralight pod harness includes the latest shock-absorbing technology: the removable NEO Koroyd 2.0 protection.

The StayUp is NEO’s latest technical offering, designed for XC pilots. It
provides an outstanding balance of weight and stability, weighing in at just
1.45kg. The StayUp’s unique pre-shaped seat allows the most relaxed position
of any light harness on the market. The StayUp can be flown with or without
the protection.
The StayUp has the same geometry as the NEO Suspender, which has become

The leg straps are equipped with manual NEO buckles.
The harness is 100% made in France, with materials specially developed by NEO and our suppliers, including ripstop Dyneema which is hyper-resistant to abrasion and tear, and exclusive to NEO.
This ultralight pod harness includes the latest shock-absorbing technology: the
removable NEO Koroyd 2.0 protection..
Geometry and NEO bucket seat:
The main focus when it came to the design of the pod harness was made based on the geometry from the Suspender, NEO’s cross country harness, as well as the seat.
The goal was to offer the pilot a very stable harness, that does not make the pilot tired, and with a very precise turn.
Just as the Suspender, the StayUp is a different harness from the rest and includes the new concept by NEO: the bucket seat, a crossbreed between a seatboard and a hammock harness.
In the StayUp, the bucket seat concept was achieved differently. While the seat in the Suspender is rigid, the bucket in the StayUp was achieved by a preshaped seat.
The result is similar, even if the StayUp is not rigid and it can be flown with or without the Koroyd protection.
The creation and adjustment of the geometry were focused in the following aspects:
The placement of the center of gravity, the basic aspect when it comes to the design of any harness for balance and stability.
The position of the center of gravity was achieved by placing darts in order to achieve a pre-shaped 3D seat.
Precise “classic” ABS adjustment for roll control
Perfect adjustment of the longitudinal balance for yaw control
The addition of an upper ABS for additional stability in active air.
Adjustable central straps (42-47cm) for precision and roll stability
Overall balance to find the right balance between stability, feedback, and handling.
In the air, you will feel:
Support on the outer thigh while maintaining the energy during the turns, allowing you to carve
Highly precise turns
The pre-shaped seat allows the center of gravity of the pilot to be in the right place
The pre-shaped seat lets you fly relaxed without neeeding to keep your body in tension, as in most ultralight pod harnesses
Comfort and pre-shaped seat:
NEO’s bucket seat concept allows having unbeatable comfort in an untralight pod and feel like at home right away
The balance between the seat and the pod lets you have your upper torso and legs relaxed
The back plates in fiber glass allows having loose leg and shoulder straps, thus preventing fatigue in your back during long flights
Various and precise adjustments in the sides, depth, lumbar area, front and chest. A light pod harness should allow for a big range of adjustments and this kind of harness is like a second skin and must be able to adjust to all kinds of body shapes. Not all adjustments must be necessarily used
Once the StayUp is adjusted, the seat of the harness doesn’t have any pressure points and allows you to fly for hours without any problem
Lightness
Specific materials were developed by the R&D NEO team together with European suppliers for the concept of the pre-shaped 3D seat:
Dyneema fabric: Together with its main supplier of specialized fabrics, NEO developed a Dyneema/Polyamide ripstop fabric that’s highly resistant to abrasion, deformation, and traction while being ultralight. The molecules of the UHMPWE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene), thus Dyneema, provide a balance between weight and abrasion that is superior to any other fiber. This ripstop is also windstopper and water wicking: because we must not forget that the first advantage of flying a pod harness is to stay warm
Ultralight Dyneema webbing
3D shaped seat: minimum weight / maximum support and comfort
Aluminum NEO and Edelrid buckles
Active security:
Just as in a classic cross country harness, the main aspects of active security were not ignored:
The StayUp can be flown in a seated position, and you will find the right position as soon as you launch without feeling like “hanging in the air”
Getting in the pod is very easy. An additional kit with a bungee cord included with your harness can be easily installed
The rescue handle of the front rescue container is very visible, well placed, and accesible.
Passive safety:
The Koroyd technology has been a revolutionary addition to paragliding and NEO knew how to integrate it to make protections for paragliding:
NEO Koroyd 2.0 Back Protection
The first innovation in back protections for paragliding in over 20 years
Koroyd Technology: Koroyd.com
9cm thickness
340g
Protects the pelvis and lower back
Certification and tests performed in laboratories
EN / LTF09: structure, reserve handle and inner bag tested at the Swiss lab Air Turquoise / Para-test.com
CE: protection according to the European EPI (individual protection equipment) standards of the CRITT.
The safety Get-Up system with 2 manual buckles is connected to a closing system that prevents closing the pod without attaching the legstraps first
Front rescue container with Dyneema risers with “1 point” attachment system: with just one attachment point (to each main carabiner) the rescue is installed before takeoff. There is no need to connect the risers and then the container, risking forgetting to connect them.
