Gin Gingo 4: best of both worlds
The Gingo 4 is an all-round harness with a revolutionary new back protector, which means a 26% weight saving over its predecessor. With the new Aerobean protector, pilots can enjoy the best of both worlds: the lightness of an airbag harness with the robust protection of a moussebag.
In addition, improved geometry and a host of other improvements make this a compelling proposition for students, leisure pilots and indeed anyone who prefer the precision of a seat board and doesn't require a cocoon.
- all-round protection, yet 26% lighter thanks to the Aerobean protector
- more stable in all axes due to improved geometry and ABS webbing system
- thinner profile and reduced packed volume
- improved rescue pocket and extraction system
Improved geometry
The Gingo 4 features an updated geometry which enables sweet and precise turning. Information from the air is filtered in a highly intelligible manner. In conjunction with the wing, stability in turbulence is improved.
The latest generation of GIN’s proven ABS system offers greater stability both in rough air and also after collapses. The ABS system is optimised for today’s glider designs and features an anti-forget buckle system.

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.

Caution
Automatic aluminium carabiners have a limited lifetime due to metal fatigue. They must be replaced after 5 years or 500 flight hours, whichever is soonest. They should never be used between spreaders and tandem wing risers as main carabiners. They should also never be used to connect rescue systems.
