Description
The SNUG is a high-quality recreational harness suitable for all genres of paragliding. It is optimised for versatility and
comfort, and has a semi cross-brace system that allows the pilot to adjust feedback and wing authority by tightening
or loosening the chest strap.
The SNUG has an 18cm foam back protector, and our reliable EASY EXIT underseat reserve deployment system. A
Cordura 500D reinforced skid guard protects the base of the harness in the event of a skid landing, and the Elastic
Speed Keeper keeps the speed bar neatly stowed when you are not using it. The SNUG is available in three sizes.
Bruce’s notes
I always wanted a harness that I don’t feel. In the beginning, harnesses were divided into two categories: standard
harnesses and ABS or cross-braced harnesses. The standard harnesses connected the pilot almost directly to the
risers making them very unstable. It was too radical for occasional pilots. The fully cross-braced harnesses were too
restrictive – pilots couldn’t feel an imminent collapse coming. The SNUG is my perfect balance. With the semi cross-
brace system I feel seamlessly connected to my wing, yet stable enough to relax.
Target
XC, training, acrobatics, soaring, wagga, vol-biv, sledge rides, tandem passengers – the SNUG harness is built to
take on the full spectrum of aerial free-flying disciplines. Taken through the wringer by our test junkies, the SNUG is
a durable, comfortable and very safe harness. Bruce loves flying it XC, Ant takes it tumbling, and Tyr grabs it for a
gentle sled ride down to the beach. If you only want one harness in your kit, this should be it.
