Gin Yeti ultra lightweight harness and technical alpine rucksack
Gin’s ultra lightweight Yeti harness is now available as either a reversible rucksack-harness (1.1 kg), or now without the rucksack part (650 g). You could choose to team it instead with Gin’s highly technical 50-litre alpine rucksack, which comes complete with ski and ice axe holders and a long front zip for easy packing. The technical sack is 1.3 kg.
The Yeti harness, with its split legs geometry, has rings for a speed bar and attachment points for the optional Yeti airbag. There are connection points on the shoulder straps for a front-mounted reserve, and a side tunnel to cover the bridle. Gin say your wing will feel much more precise to handle than with any other mountain harness.

Gin Gliders’ hybrid softshell jacket
Gin Gliders have increased their paragliding and multi-sport clothing range with their hybrid softshell jacket, which is now available in bronze as well as blue and kiwi.
A performance garment, it has an ergonomic cut and is made from light, stretchy softshell material which is windproof, with 3L water-repellant fabric on the shoulders. Gin say the jacket also has a brushed lining for comfort, and a high level of breathability, an important consideration for aerobic activities.
Further features include various pockets, including a hidden inner chest pocket for safe-keeping of passports etc, wind-block zippers and adjustable hem and cuffs.
Gin’s softshell jacket is available in sizes XS to XXL.
