GIN Genie Lite 3 XC Pod Harness

The GIN Genie Lite 3 represents the latest generation of high-performance cross-country pod harnesses from GIN Gliders. Designed to deliver exceptional comfort, passive safety and aerodynamic efficiency, it offers everything today’s XC pilot needs without unnecessary bulk.

Suitable for pilots moving into pod harnesses as well as experienced cross-country flyers, the Genie Lite 3 provides a stable, confidence-inspiring flying experience while offering the performance expected from a modern XC harness.

Designed for Long Cross-Country Flights

Long hours in the air demand exceptional comfort.

The Genie Lite 3 features a supportive internal structure that combines a Triplex seat plate, advanced support frame and integrated back protection to minimise fatigue throughout extended flights.

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

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

Its streamlined profile, compact Neo/Koroyd protector and lightweight 3D-shaped aerocone work together to create a highly efficient flying position that improves glide performance while remaining easy to pack.
