Gin Gingo 4: The Best of Both Worlds
The Gin Gingo 4 is the ultimate all-round harness for pilots who prioritize comfort, safety, and precise handling. By combining a traditional seat board with the innovative Aerobean protector, Gin has created a harness that is 26% lighter than the Gingo 3 while maintaining world-class passive safety. It is the perfect choice for everything from your first flights at the school hill to your first cross-country adventures.
Revolutionary Aerobean Protector
The standout feature of the Gingo 4 is the patent-pending Aerobean protector. Consisting of expanded polypropylene "beans," this system offers the immediate protection of a moussebag but weighs just 200g—a 78% reduction in protector weight. It provides excellent shock absorption from the moment of take-off and is resilient enough to withstand multiple impacts, making it ideal for the rigors of flight school.
Enhanced Stability and Precise Geometry
Gin has updated the geometry and ABS (Anti-Balance System) webbing to provide a more stable and reassuring ride in all axes. The harness filters turbulence into intelligible information, allowing you to feel the air without being overwhelmed. The high-quality seat board ensures precise weight-shift control, helping you core thermals more efficiently and stay in the air longer.
Clean, Aerodynamic, and Durable
Using advanced 3D modeling, Gin has crafted a profile that is notably thinner and more aerodynamic than previous generations. The main body is constructed from exclusive 70D mélange fabric—a light yet durable material that resists scratches and maintains a premium look. Internal seams are finished with bias binding, ensuring the harness remains a dependable part of your kit for years.
Improved Rescue System
Safety remains the top priority. The Gingo 4 features a redesigned under-seat rescue pocket for easier extraction even under high G-loads. A new zipped rescue tunnel ensures a clean shape and prevents common installation errors, while the color-coded regulation straps make pre-flight checks and in-flight adjustments simple and intuitive.
