1. Safety

Paragliding is a potentially hazardous sport. When flying a paraglider you have to accept risks of injury and/or even death. 
Incompetent or improper use of the harness may add to those risks. In case of any doubts please ask your dealer or manufacturer.

 ! 

Dudek Paragliders do not bear any responsibility for damages or injuries resulting from paragliding activities.  

2. Description  

The Pogo 3 harness was designed for cross country and competition pilots. Main point on the wishlist were improvement in 
ergonomics of use and weight reduction. Due to light, carbon seat board and footrest, as well as other materials the Pogo3 weighs 
just 4,3 kg in M size. Comfortable, ventilated backrest and a new, ergonomic seat with a profiled board ensure maximum comfort 
during the flight.  Large adjustment range make sure every single pilot will be able to find his/her optimum. Redesigned strap scheme 
brings great stability and significantly reduces danger of launching with leg/chest straps not clipped in. The harness has been 
equipped with a 15 cm thick, certified airfoam protector covered with a polycarbonate plate. Integrated rescue chute container is 
located on the back, behind the protector. The release handle is fixed in easily accessible area on the right side of the harness. In the 
2R version there is also a frontcontainer present, ready to accept an alternative rescue chute.  The pod shields the pilot against cold 
and improves aerodynamic qualities. Four-point adjustment of its length allows for stepless adjustment of the footrest too. Complete 
with integrated cockpit or frontcontainer (2R version) it is closed in two points only. Both the cockpit and frontcontainer have an 
additional, detachable instrument panel, equipped with easily accessible safety knife.  Locking scheme of the pod 'reminds' the pilot 
to clip in the chest strap as well. Under the seat plate there is a container for a ballast bag, too. The Pogo3 features easily replaceable,
ball-bearing Duroll pulleys, improving the speedsystem operation. Introduction of a self-inflating flow around the back of the harness 
has improved aerodynamics and flight stability.
