Gingo 4 Gin Paragliding harness

A harness at the crossroads of the Mousse bag and the Airbag

The Gingo 4 from Gin is the first harness to feature a new protection technology. Aerobean protection is a highly effective shock-absorbing granule. This new technology (patent pending) reduces weight by 26% compared with a conventional foam bag harness. This protection also has the double advantage of being very light.

Gin has also redesigned the entire harness to satisfy both beginner and experienced pilots. These strengths are numerous:

Increased stability on all axes thanks to ABS

A more aerodynamic profile

Optimized volume

A redesigned reserve pocket and a more reliable, orderly extraction system

Innovations

Gin surprises us once again with its new Aerobean technology. As mentioned above, this new protection not only increases protection volume, but also saves weight. This parameter is the most significant, since for equivalent protection, Aerobean saves almost 78% in weight.

Gingo 4 geometry and ABS

As usual with most of their harnesses, Gin has integrated ABS into the Gingo 4. Optimized for today's gliders, this system reduces discomfort during turbulent phases of flight. The GIN team has also redesigned the harness geometry. The information transmitted by the air mass is filtered out, allowing the pilot to concentrate on the essentials. In addition, cornering stability has been greatly improved over the previous version.

Materials and construction

Quality of finish remains a must for the brand. The Gingo 4 is made from a clever blend of 70D, a lightweight, durable fabric designed to retain its aesthetic appeal over time and with age. What's more, GIN has incorporated bias stitching into the manufacturing process to ensure maximum durability. Finally, the R&D team used innovative 3D technology to achieve a crease-free profile. This further enhances comfort in flight.

Emergency pocket

The ease of extraction and the closure system have been reworked to guarantee reliability. In particular, a zip has been added to facilitate installation of the reserve, and to prevent assembly errors.
