Mike Semanoff and Chris Santacroce of Superfly inc. talk about the features of the Gin Switch light weight paragliding harness.
The GIN Switch is a reversible airbag harness/rucksack that is lightweight, yet makes no compromises in safety or comfort. Simply turn the rucksack inside out to convert it to a certified AIR BAG harness with a ready rescue connection. Comfort in flight is superb, due to the geometry of the harness and the shaped and reinforced back.
The Switch represents a growing trend of flying with split legs, rather than a seat plate. This means that you have a more natural relationship with your wing: feedback is enhanced, but so is stability.
Hi, you're funny guys, taking out an Advance glider from this Switch harness, I'm wondering if a Gin glider does ft in - have fun :-))))

I would say that it easy to get a little weight shift with a split leg harness but harder to get a lot of weight shift. The best plan is to test fly one. Please let us know if we can be of assistance. We are always happy to send you one so that you can try it out. 801 255 9595.

The air bag inflates via a scoop on the side of the harness. It becomes "most" inflated once "underway" but is mostly inflated before you launch. We fly all year round in UT. It was in the 30's this AM but there were still a handful flying at 8:30.

do you inflate the air protection? how does that work? i also noticed it doesn't seem to have any side protection. other than that this looks awesome for the mountain climber or light traveler! also what is the flying season out in utah? thanks for sharing, gin is one of my favorite brands.

Hey there , what is this harness like as far as weight shift goes when flying a paragliding wing?
Can you get as much weight shift as you would get with a normal paragliding harness system.
thanks.
