For sale is my Gin Gingo harness which, as you can see from the photos, is in good condition. The 17cm thick back and side protection make this an excellent harness for beginners, especially when ground handling; airbag harnesses offer little protection prior to inflation once airborne, but the Gingo offers permanent protection (you can remove the protection, but it isn’t advised).
As you can see from the photos it is in generally good condition, no cuts and scrapes on the bottom like many used harnesses. The reserve handle is included (right hand side) but does not come with a reserve as I have transferred that to a new harness.
The manual is readily available for download through google, but below is some of the key points…
The Gingo was developed by the R&D team of Gin Gliders to meet the highest standards of the most demanding pilots – the Gingo is the harness used by GIN test pilots during the
development of new paragliders. The Gingo is suitable for a wide range of pilots, for the beginner as well as for the occasional club pilot or even the dedicated cross country pilot.
The Gingo is a sleek and easy harness, designed for maximum comfort and ease of use. The elegant design focuses on simplicity, eliminating the need for complicated adjustments. The overall geometry of the harness enables the pilot to feel the feedback from the glider sensitively, whilst retaining a secure feeling in flight. This increases the precision of turns while thermaling and aids active flying. On long flights, the comfort of the Gingo is second to none.
Leg and chest straps are equipped with the “T-lock safety system” to prevent the pilot from
falling out of the harness if he forgets to fasten the leg straps.
