Verso 3: light reversible harness

Ideal for leisure pilots, hike & fly pilots and travellers, the Verso 3 is yet comfortable enough to be used on long cross-country flights and also has good safety features. Since its introduction, the Verso has been one of the best selling harnesses in its class. This third generation stays true to the original but features improvements over its predecessor in several areas:

• more stable in all axes due to the new ABS webbing system
• 600g lighter and decreased packing volume
• reduced drag due to reduced cross-sectional area
• unique double-skin feature protects harness when used in rucksack mode - cleaner and easier rescue flap system for faster rescue deployment
• improved airbag pre-inflation: the airbag is 70% inflated at take-off
• faster airbag inflation and more stable pressure maintained during turns - lighter and more durable main fabric
• New ABS system with an anti-forget buckle system
• airbag inlet re-positioned from sides to under seat for greater durability

Features

New ABS system

New ABS system offers greater stability both in rough air and also after collapses.

Reduced weight, increased durability

Thanks to lighter but more durable materials and more efficient construction, Gin has managed to reduce the weight of the Verso 3 by 600g compared to the Verso 2.

Double-skin rucksack

The unique double-skin feature protects the harness when used in rucksack mode. You don’t have to worry about damaging your harness at the airport or on the trail.

Easy closing, time after time

The Verso 3 features a unique packing system. The lateral zipper is easier to close and has a longer lifetime due to the reduced strain. In addition, the load is divided into 2 compartments.

Front airbag inlet

The front air inlet enhances durability, ensures smoother inflation and is more aerodynamic

Ergonomic back support

Ergonomic back with foam padding for hike ‘n fly comfort.

New GIN melange

The main body of the harness is made from a new 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.

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.
