Gin melange The main body of the harness is made from an exclusive 70D mélange — a light, durable nylon/polyester fabric that also maintains its cosmetic appeal even when dusty or scratched. Bias bound seams Internal seams are finished with bias binding to guarantee your harness a long lifetime. Clean and comfortable 3D shaping, simulation and testing have produced the cleanest, most wrinkle-free profile possible. Besides looking good, comfort is also improved. Improved rescue pocket Easy extraction and secure stowage of the rescue remains of paramount importance and the rescue pocket of the Gingo 4 has been improved compared to its predecessor. There is also a zipped rescue tunnel for easy closing and prevention of installation errors. Protector type Pilots can now choose between the two 16 cm back protection options: Aerobean protector 2026 UPDATE: A new inflatable protector Aerobean protector The Aerobean protector remains a trusted benchmark for everyday flying. Lightweight, durable and reliable, it offers consistent protection across a wide range of realworld scenarios with no setup required. With a 16 cm thickness, it delivers certified impact protection: 30.26 G Its self-inflating structure ensures immediate readiness, making it a simple and dependable choice for pilots who prioritise ease of use. Inflatable protection The new inflatable protector brings a new level of versatility to the Gingo 4. With a full 16 cm thickness once inflated, it delivers certified impact protection: 34 G Its key advantage is packability. When deflated, the protector takes up significantly less space than a traditional solution, ideal for travel, hike & fly, or compact storage. A dedicated valve system allows pilots to adjust the internal pressure, fine-tuning firmness and behaviour even during flight. For added convenience, an optional pump bag is available, enabling fast and effortless inflation before take-off.
