The Hawaii is an aerodynamically cut
enclosed harness for discerning pilots, designed for
competition and efficient flying. Guaranteed comfort
even after hours of flight. The harness is sensitive to
weight-shift thanks to the lower position of the main
karabiners. Excellent feed-back from the glider to the
harness.
The Hawaii harness is a development of Gin’s Genie Race
harness and features a number of changes. The height of
the chest strap and the shoulder strap system is similar
to other MAC PARA harnesses. The Hawaii is manufactured
in the Gin factory.
The side covering of the risers, legs and the various
harness adjustments with elastic NEOPRENE decreases drag
and guarantees a smooth surface. Separate inflatable
pocket on the back and shoulders decrease drag.
Featuring an ergonomically formed seat with the facility
to adjust its angle according to the pilot's preference
and the standard Kevlar foot-plate, the Hawaii
guarantees maximum comfort during take off and in
flight. The pilot's body is perfectly supported in the
back and shoulder area. A smooth lining to the shoulder
straps and leg strap system enable easy movement during
take off.
The weight of the harness is 8.6 kg
including the foam protector and stainless steel
karabiners. For enthusiasts of the lightest equipment we
offer a carbon plate with a reduction in weight of 400g.
Overall weight can be further reduced by the use of
aluminium karabiners. The seat is supported by
adjustable straps in front and back to adjust the exact
angle of the plate. The seat, seat sides and back are
made from a breathing mesh material to reduce sweating.
Adjustable pulleys enable error-free routing of the
speed-system without either foot banking up. The pilot's
position in the harness remains unchanged during
activation of the speed system, with no resulting
increase in aerodynamic drag. The harness is equipped as
standard with a long life three step speed system and a
12 cm. foam protector.
The shoulder straps don't slip down thanks to an
auxiliary strap with a plastic clip. A well-designed
back pocket system enables easy assembly of the harness
and packing in a rucksack. The rescue canopy is placed
under the pilot's legs towards the front of the seat. A
sufficiently large deployment system guarantees easy
removal of the rescue canopy from the outer container.
The reserve handle is highly visible and easy to reach.
Neoprene pockets on the sides offer storage for gloves
or other small essentials. |
