DUDEK - POGO 4

INFORMATION FROM MANUFACTURER WEBSITE

It is currently one of the lightest harnesses in its class. It is very comfortable and equipped with everything necessary for very long flights or competition racing. Its compact design guarantees a perfect union of the pilot and the harness.

During the design phase, Sławomir Kubiak the harness designer, devoted a lot of attention to refining the shape of the harness, especially its rear part. A harness of this class, apart from providing the pilot with the highest level of comfort, must also be carefully tuned aerodynamically, to minimize air resistance.

Pogo 4 is an almost completely new project and has little in common with its predecessor, apart from the highest quality and name.

The most important differences are:

• improved comfort (especially of the backrest)

• integrated container with space for two rescues as standard

• container for a “G-chute”

• enlarged cockpit with detachable glass and a pocket for a power bank

• new arrangement of risers, offering higher suspension

• enlarged ballast container

• optimized footrest shape

• Ronstan 30 pulleys installed for smoother speed system operation

• Edelrid Alias II Speed carabiners, guaranteeing higher suspension of the footrest as well as the cockpit position

• The pilot may choose to fly with or without a seat board

• improved aerodynamics, especially of the rear part of the harness

• dedicated radio pocket plus an additional one inside the harness

• Ventilated backrest and a new, ergonomic seat with profiled seatplate ensure maximum comfort during the flight. Large adjustment range makes sure that every single pilot will be able to find his/her optimum. Redesigned strap scheme brings great stability and significantly reduces danger of launching with leg/chest straps not locked properly.

The harness is equipped with a 15 cm thick, certified airfoam.

Integrated container for two rescue chutes is located on the back, behind the protector. Release handles are fixed in easily accessible areas on both sides of the harness.

Locking scheme of the pod ‘reminds’ the pilot to clip in the chest strap, too. There is a ballast pocket under the seat plate. The harness has the Ronstan 30 pulleys installed, mproving the speedsystem operation. A self-inflating flow around the back of the harness improves aerodynamics and flight stability.

The pod improves aerodynamics of the harness and protects the pilot against cold. There is and adjustable length/angle) footrest and a two-step speedbar within the pod. The pod is permanently attached to the harness and integrated with a cockpit. It is closed in two places only.

The cockpit has an instrument panel, equipped with a safety knife and can be easily detached with the instruments still fixed to it. Under the panel there is a pocket, accessible in flight. There is another pocket below too, suited to house a power bank. The cockpit windscreen is detachable. The cockpit itself is integrated with the pod and does not have any additional fasteners.

Due to light materials the harness weighs just 5,3 kg in M size.
