Gin Yeti Convertible 2: The Ultimate Hike-and-Fly Multitool
The Gin Yeti Convertible 2 is a lightweight reversible harness designed for pilots who need gear that excels both on the trail and in the air. Built with a split-leg geometry, it offers a stable and precise flying experience without the weight of a traditional seat plate. Whether you are trekking to a remote alpine launch or traveling the world, the Yeti Convertible 2 provides the perfect balance of portability and performance.
Reversible Technical Rucksack
When you land, the Yeti Convertible 2 transforms into a 40L technical rucksack. Unlike many reversible bags, this rucksack is designed with true alpine ergonomics. It features a redesigned load distribution system (30/70 weight split between shoulders and waist), ergonomic back support, and breathable mesh straps. It is fully equipped for the mountains with attachments for walking poles, ice axes, and even an external helmet holder.
Modular Safety & Protection
The Yeti Convertible 2 is uniquely modular. For pilots seeking maximum weight savings, it can be flown as a "naked" harness. For those wanting added safety, it is compatible with an optional Yeti Airbag module. This module includes a titanium wire structure for superior pre-inflation and an integrated under-seat rescue container, effectively turning your minimalist kit into a fully protected harness.
Comfortable & Precise Geometry
Comfort was a primary focus for this second-generation design. The harness features lateral adjustment straps to tune your seat angle in-flight, as well as a dedicated pulley system for smooth speed-bar operation. The split-leg design provides excellent weight-shift authority while ensuring you have total freedom of movement during takeoff and landing—even when wearing heavy mountain boots or crampons.
