When it comes to lightweight flying, every gram matters — but comfort and safety should never be compromised. That's where the BGD WRAP comes in. Designed for hike-and-fly pilots, travellers, and soaring purists, this ultralight harness redefines minimalist paragliding without sacrificing essential features.
If you're looking for a versatile, compact, and comfortable harness that fits into a small bag and feels like an extension of your body, the BGD WRAP is your answer.
What Is the WRAP?
The BGD WRAP is a lightweight pod-style paragliding harness engineered for both everyday pilots and gear minimalists. Weighing just 1.8 kg, it wraps around you — literally — and delivers a streamlined flight experience whether you're on a short hike or a serious XC mission.
Inspired by the geometry of alpinist bivy kits and ultralight tents, this harness "wraps" you in ergonomic support while remaining supremely packable.
Why Pilots Love the BGD WRAP:
✅ Lightweight & Compact
The WRAP lives up to its name — it packs down incredibly small and weighs next to nothing compared to traditional harnesses. At just 1.8–2.2 kg depending on size, it's ideal for pilots on the move.
Perfect for:
-
Hike & fly
-
Travel adventures
-
Vol-bivouac missions
-
Occasional leisure flights
✅ Integrated Reserve Container
The built-in front reserve container is integrated cleanly into the chest strap system, making deployment intuitive and reducing weight—no clunky add-ons — just clever design.
✅ Semi-Pod Comfort
With its semi-pod configuration, the WRAP gives you a touch of cocoon-like aerodynamics without the full commitment of a pod. Legs are free yet supported, and your body is enclosed just enough to keep warm at altitude.
✅ Speedbar-Ready
Fully compatible with standard speedbar systems, the WRAP gives you full performance functionality for XC and thermalling flights — rare for harnesses in this weight class.

-
Reinforced support structure in the back and seat
-
Adjustable shoulder, chest, and leg straps

T-Lock leg system with a fail-safe safety clip-in method
