GIN Harness - Switch 2 - Gray - 155-190 cm

The Switch 2 is a reversible airbag harness with separate leg straps and a reserve container under the seat. It is versatile, easy to use, and adjustable to fit all sizes. Weighing just 2.4 kg, the Switch 2 is lightweight and compact without compromising on durability.

With no limits, it’s suitable for everyday flying, walk-and-fly, training, tandem flights, mini-paragliding, and travel. It’s equipped with all the necessary safety features and is comfortable enough for you to fly all day long.

GEOMETRY: ABS WITH THIGH-HIGH BOOTS

The main innovation of the Switch 2 geometry is that it offers the advantages of a harness with leg loops while maintaining the handling characteristics of a plate harness.

Compared to a platform, thigh straps allow for compact storage and thus provide a true walking and flying harness. They also make it easier to build up speed and allow for an easy transition to a seated position upon takeoff. However, the separation of the thighs can sometimes be difficult for beginner pilots to manage.

On the Switch 2, the leg straps are connected and help absorb the movements caused by air currents that can throw a beginner off balance, just like a harness with a fixed seat.

PREMIUM TRIPLE LOCK CLASPS

The Edelrid triple-lock buckle is a new, high-end semi-automatic buckle that is easy to open and close, yet very secure: even when the snap buttons are engaged, it cannot open accidentally; its hooks hold the frame in place, which is what makes it “semi-automatic.” 

These well-known hooks, which serve as load-bearing components, are made of high-strength steel alloy with a KTL coating, while the plastic housing and snap fasteners are made of impact-resistant, glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide.

ONE SIZE FITS ALL

The Switch 2 is easy to adjust to fit the vast majority of pilot sizes. It is therefore well-suited for use with students at flight schools or tandem passengers. 

MINIMUM WEIGHT, MAXIMUM DURABILITY

Thanks to lighter yet more durable materials—and, above all, a design and pattern that optimize weight—GIN has succeeded in reducing the overall weight while maintaining excellent wear resistance. The harness’s outer fabric is made from a new 70-denier yarn—a nylon/polyester blend that maintains an attractive appearance and is highly resistant to dust and abrasion.

SAFETY

The reserve container is located under the seat and connected to the harness via reserve attachment points on the shoulders. The zippered tunnel protects the reserve lines while allowing for quick and efficient access and providing a discreet, neat appearance.

AIRBAG WITH FRONT AIR INLET

The airbag features a pre-inflation system that uses titanium rods and a thin layer of foam, ensuring it inflates fully within a few seconds after takeoff. The air inlet is located at the front, which improves durability and ensures smooth inflation and a very clean surface appearance.

STYLISH & COMFORTABLE

As for the backpack, the Switch 2 features an ergonomic back panel and foam padding for hikers' comfort.

Another unique feature is a double-layer system that separates the harness fabric from the material that could be damaged during transport.

SEAMS TRIMMED WITH BIAY

The inner seams are finished with bias tape, a hallmark of quality in haute couture.
