GIN Genie Lite 3 XC Pod Harness

Whether you’re chasing your first 50 km flight or competing in demanding XC conditions, the harness keeps you comfortable from take-off to landing.

The carefully refined harness geometry delivers outstanding stability while maintaining clear feedback from the wing.

Pilots benefit from:

  • Excellent roll stability
  • Precise weight-shift control

An integrated anti-forget system also ensures the cocoon cannot be closed until the leg straps are correctly secured.
