Gin Yeti Race

Gin Yeti Race: Ultra-Light, Yet Ultra-Durable

The Gin Yeti Race is a full-featured ultralight cocoon harness built for the most ambitious mountain pilots. Whether you are competing in hike-and-fly races, embarking on vol-bivouac missions, or simply want a lightweight cross-country setup, the Yeti Race delivers. By utilizing Gin’s exclusive Extreema fabric, this harness offers the durability of a standard cocoon while weighing approximately 2kg, ensuring it survives the rigors of mountain launches and landings.

Next-Generation Extreema Fabric

The defining feature of the Yeti Race is the use of Extreema fabric—a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) ripstop composite. Developed specifically for this harness, it is highly resistant to tearing and abrasion while maintaining an aesthetic, wrinkle-free finish. Unlike many other ultralight materials, Extreema does not stretch over time, ensuring the harness maintains its aerodynamic shape and precise fit for years of flying.

Optimized Aerodynamics & Performance

Performance hasn't been sacrificed for weight. The Yeti Race features a refined aerocone that extends behind the pilot's head to smooth out airflow and increase glide efficiency. Advanced 3D modeling has been used to minimize wrinkles in flight, providing a sleek profile that rivals competition harnesses. The geometry without a seat plate ensures a stable ride while still offering the sensitivity needed to core tight thermals effectively.

G-Air Inflatable Protection

For safety, the harness uses an inflatable protector. This system provides immediate, certified protection and can be easily inflated by mouth or with a pump bag. This technology significantly reduces the packing volume, allowing the harness to fit into the most compact hike-and-fly rucksacks. The protector is also removable to free up additional storage space for multi-day expeditions.

Simplified Ergonomics and Storage

The Yeti Race is designed for ease of use in high-stress mountain environments. It features a simple and intuitive clip-in system, making it fast to put on even in technical terrain. Storage is ample for its class, featuring a large back pocket and dedicated areas for mountain gear. A removable cockpit provides plenty of room for instruments, keeping your flight data easily visible.
