BGD SNUG fits like a glove

The SNUG features a built-in 18-centimetre EN-certified foam back protector and an "Easy Exit" under-seat reserve compartment for frictionless, rapid deployment. BGD’s factory specifications detail a unique semi-cross-brace geometry that allows the pilot to adjust the chest strap to perfectly balance stability with direct wing feedback, all housed in a durable 3D aerodynamic shell weighing only 3.2 to 3.5 kilograms.

TARGET

XC, training, acrobatics, soaring, wagga, vol-biv, sledge rides - when it comes to free flying, the Snug harness is built to take on the full spectrum of aerial disciplines. Put 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.

DESCRIPTION

Optimised for versatility and comfort, the Snug is our premier recreational harness, featuring a semi-cross brace system, our EASY EXIT reserve deployment system, a smooth, aerodynamic shape, 18cm of foam protection, and vibrant new colour schemes. Weighing only 3.2-3.5kg, the Snug is a stripped-down, EN-certified harness that performs really well.

BRUCE'S NOTES

I always wanted a harness I don’t feel. In the beginning, harnesses were divided into two categories: standard harnesses and ABS or cross-braced harnesses. Standard harnesses connected the pilot almost directly to the risers, making them very unstable and too radical for occasional pilots. 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.
