Gin Paramotor Cocoon: The Next Step in Comfort and Efficiency
The Gin Paramotor Cocoon is a game-changer for cross-country pilots and those who refuse to let the cold end their flying season. Designed to protect your lower body from wind chill while streamlining your profile, this "pod" system enhances both pilot endurance and wing performance. Whether you are embarking on a winter bivouac or chasing a personal distance record, the Gin Cocoon ensures you stay warm, focused, and aerodynamic.
Universal Compatibility & Smart Attachment
One of the most innovative features of the Gin Cocoon is its universal attachment system. Unlike traditional paragliding pod harnesses, this is a modular accessory that can be adapted to almost any paramotor harness and frame. The smart buckle and strap system allows for a secure fit that doesn't interfere with your engine's geometry or your weight-shift capabilities.
Effortless Launch & Land Behavior
Safety during take-off and landing is paramount. The cocoon is designed with an easy step-in/step-out bottom opening. A dedicated buckle on the cockpit holds the cocoon up and out of the way during your take-off run and landing flare, ensuring your legs are completely free. Once airborne, a simple kick-out allows you to transition into full pod comfort, and a quick release prepares you for a safe touch-down.
Integrated 9L Cockpit & Storage
The Gin Paramotor Cocoon includes a high-capacity 9-liter cockpit. This integrated flight deck provides a stable, angled surface for your flight instruments, GPS, and smartphone. The internal storage is ample enough for the cocoon itself (when not in use), extra batteries, camera gear, or even bivouac supplies. Adjustable straps ensure the cockpit stays at the perfect viewing angle regardless of your recline.
Optional Front-Mounted Rescue
For pilots who prioritize safety, the cocoon is fully compatible with the optional Gin Rescue Cockpit. This allows you to integrate a front-mounted reserve parachute directly into the system, placing your deployment handle in a highly visible and accessible position while maintaining the aerodynamic benefits of the pod.
