BGD Snug: The All-Rounder That Fits Like a Glove
The BGD Snug is Bruce Goldsmith Design’s premier recreational harness, optimized for versatility, safety, and incredible comfort. Whether you are a student taking your first flights, an XC enthusiast, or an acro pilot practicing maneuvers, the Snug is built to handle it all. It features a clean, aerodynamic profile and a semi-cross brace system that offers the perfect middle ground between feeling your wing and enjoying a stable, relaxed flight.
Versatile Performance Features
- Semi-Cross Brace System: This innovative system allows you to adjust the chest strap to fine-tune the balance between authority over the harness and feedback from the wing. It’s designed to make you feel seamlessly connected without being overwhelmed.
- 18cm Foam Protection: Safety is paramount. The Snug comes equipped with 18cm of EN-certified foam back protection to cushion the pilot in the event of a hard landing or mishap.
- Easy Exit Reserve System: A reliable and neatly integrated reserve deployment system is tucked under the seat, ensuring fast and snag-free access when you need it most.
- Lightweight Design: Despite its robust features and full protection, the Snug weighs in at a modest 3.2kg to 3.5kg (depending on size), making it easy to carry on hike-and-fly or travel adventures.
- Premium Hardware: The harness is fitted with 18kN patented AustriAlpin COBRA™ quick-release buckles and light 22kN Edelrid aluminum karabiners for maximum security and ease of use.
- Elastic Speed Keeper: An ingenious pulley and elastic cord system keeps your speedbar exactly where you want it. It glides out smoothly and retracts effortlessly, so it never tangles around your legs.
- Durable Construction: The under-section is reinforced with Cordura® 500D skid guards to protect against abrasion during ground handling and landings.
- Highly Adjustable: With 25cm of shoulder adjustment and 10cm of rotational adjustment, the Snug can be tailored to fit pilots of all shapes and sizes perfectly.
