2. Introducing the Basis and Basis RC
The Basis is available in 2 versions, the Basis (without reserve container) and the Basis RC (with
integrated under-seat reserve container).
The Basis and Basis RC were developed by the R&D team of Gin Gliders to meet the highest
standards of the most demanding pilots - the Basis/Basis RC harness is one of the harnesses
used by GIN test pilots during the development of new paragliders. The Basis and Basis RC are
suitable for a wide range of pilots, from the beginner who is learning, to the experienced cross
country pilot.
The Basis and Basis RC can be flown with all types of paraglider unless the manufacturer of your
paraglider requires a specific harness to be used with his paraglider. Please refer to the manual
of your paraglider to find out if this might be the case. The Basis and Basis RC are compact,
sleek and easy harnesses, designed for maximum comfort and ease of use. The elegant design
focuses on simplicity, eliminating the need for complicated adjustments.
The overall geometry of the harness enables the pilot to feel the feedback from the glider
sensitively, whilst retaining a secure feeling in flight. This increases the precision of turns
while thermalling and aids active flying. On long flights, the comfort of the Basis and Basis RC
are second to none.
Leg and chest straps are integrated into the “T-bar system” to prevent the pilot from falling out
of the harness if he forgets to fasten the leg straps.
