## Info

The WRAP is available in four sizes, with a rucksack volume of 80-102 litres, depending
on the size. The harness is weight-shift friendly without being ‘wobbly’. In both
harness and rucksack formats there are plenty of accessible pockets, and a drinks-
pouch system with tube routings. You can fit a lightweight wing such as the Echo
2, Breeze or Lynx 2 inside along with your helmet, instruments and spare clothing,
and there is a fold-away external helmet holder and elastic cord to carry additional
clothing if you need them.

### Airbag

The WRAP benefits from an efficient, certified airbag. Nitinol wire in the edges
means it pre-inflates as soon as you unfold it. Pre-launch protection is around 
60% of the fully inflated protection

### Austri-Alpin buckles

The main leg straps close with lightweight and foolproof AustriAlpin thread-through
aluminium buckles

### Chest strap

The height of the chest strap can be adjusted up or down to ensure a body-match 
fit

### Colour-coded hang loops

The main hang loops are colour-coded green and red to match the risers on BGD wings.

### Edelrid alu karabiners

We chose Edelrid’s karabiners for the main hangpoints, for their light weight and
reliability

v=1750770349 "BGD Wrap Harness 9")

### Elastics

Elastics on top of the rucksack are to carry additional clothing layers, where they
are easily to hand.

### External helmet net

The helmet can be carried on the outside of the rucksack, using the external helmet
net. It holds the helmet securely in place, and folds away into its own zipped pocket
when not needed

of its channel

### Reserve container

We redesigned the reserve system, in particular making the reserve handle attachment
more secure, to avoid possible accidental deployments.

clothing etc

### YKK Zips

The rucksack zips are robust and reliable YKK, with easy-grab loops

## Target

The WRAP is for pilots who hike-and-fly, or who simply prefer a compact and lightweight
set-up. The rucksack is designed with a sleek shape and comfortable, breathable 
carry system, for serious mountain hiking. It switches in seconds to harness mode,
with a nitinol-edged airbag that pre-inflates for pre-launch protection. The WRAP
is light at 2.75kg in M, yet made from durable and robust materials that make it
suitable for everyday flying.

 

## Designer’s notes

The Wrap was designed to excel in both hiking and flying modes. Comfort and practicality
were key, and durability was also at the heart of the lightweight design. It is 
made from proven Cordura 500 fabric. An additional panel means that none of the 
external parts of the rucksack are structurally part of the harness, so any scuffs
or abrasion to the bag do not affect the integrity of the harness.

The harness seat back is padded and breathable, and neoprene on the leg straps adds
padding to the webbing.

A nitinol wire opens the airbag allowing it to pre-inflate before launch. It gives
around 60% of its full protection capability before the pilot is airbporne, then
fills quickly via the under-seat air intake. Theis is positioned such that the pilot’s
legs will not obstruct it.
