Mini wing specialists Little Cloud have unveiled a new pod harness. The Grasshopper uses a no-buckle strap-in system that reduces the risk of taking off without being correctly secured.
The front-mounted reserve container, which closes with 6 pins to reduce the risk of unintentional deployment, is mounted on the harness waist belt. This waist belt is directly attached to the main karabiners to secure the harness. If you forget to attach either end, the reserve and instrument cockpit will be left dangling between your legs – a reminder that is difficult to ignore that you are not yet secured for flight.
LC say the Grasshopper offers excellent stability and support. It is EN certified and available in two sizes (S/M for pilots less than 177cm, M/L for pilots over 175cm), the M/L weighing just 3.3kg.
RRP is €1199 including karabiners, reserve risers, instrument deck and reserve front mount pocket.
