Ozone BV1

Ozone BV1: The Ultimate Vol-Bivouac Expedition Tool

The Ozone BV1 is built for the world’s most demanding adventures. Whether you are traversing the Himalayas or embarking on a local weekend vol-biv, the BV1 provides an unparalleled balance of durability, weight, and massive storage capacity. At just 1.9kg (Size MS), this pod harness is the choice of elite adventure pilots who need a reliable, comfortable home in the air and on the mountain.

Unrivaled Storage Capacity

The BV1 is designed to carry everything you need to survive and fly in the wild. It features a 32L rear storage compartment and a 30L under-seat compartment. The clever under-seat design shares space with the inflatable protector, allowing you to pack heavy items like stoves, tents, and poles securely. The air pressure from the protector keeps your gear from shifting in flight, ensuring a stable and balanced center of gravity.

Advanced Comfort & Flight Geometry

Long days in the air require exceptional support. The BV1 utilizes a Nitinol-reinforced backrest and carbon rods under the seat to provide a structured, relaxed recline. The split-leg "bucket seat" geometry offers precise weight-shift authority and stability in active air, while also allowing for a natural and quick transition to a standing position for technical top-landings on rugged peaks.

Expedition-Ready Features

Every detail of the BV1 is optimized for life on the move. It is solar-ready, featuring dedicated mounting anchors on the pod to charge your electronics while flying. The harness also includes a hydration pouch sleeve with over-the-shoulder routing, a large left-side camera pole pocket, and a dedicated battery pocket under the cockpit. The integrated front-mounted reserve container doubles as a stable instrument platform.

Safety & Modular Protection

The BV1 features a fully load-bearing "anti-forget" harness system and an EN/LTF certified inflatable protector (210g). This protector provides excellent impact absorption (certified at 27G) while allowing the harness to be compressed to a remarkably small volume for hiking. The leg straps open fully, making it easy to gear up while wearing crampons or heavy mountaineering boots.
