2. Description
The Pogo 3 harness was designed for cross co ntry and competition pilots. Main point on the wishlist were improvement in
ergonomics of se and weight red ction. D e to light, carbon seat board and footrest, as well as other materials the Pogo3 weighs
j st 4,3 kg in M size. Comfortable, ventilated backrest and a new, ergonomic seat with a profiled board ens re maxim m comfort
d ring the flight. Large adj stment range make s re every single pilot will be able to find his/her optim m. Redesigned strap scheme
brings great stability and significantly red ces danger of la nching with leg/chest straps not clipped in. The harness has been
eq ipped with a 15 cm thick, certified airfoam protector covered with a polycarbonate plate. Integrated resc e ch te container is
located on the back, behind the protector. The release handle is fixed in easily accessible area on the right side of the harness. In the
2R version there is also a frontcontainer present, ready to accept an alternative resc e ch te. The pod shields the pilot against cold
and improves aerodynamic q alities. Fo r-point adj stment of its length allows for stepless adj stment of the footrest too. Complete
with integrated cockpit or frontcontainer (2R version) it is closed in two points only. Both the cockpit and frontcontainer have an
additional, detachable instr ment panel, eq ipped with easily accessible safety knife. Locking scheme of the pod 'reminds' the pilot
to clip in the chest strap as well. Under the seat plate there is a container for a ballast bag, too. The Pogo3 feat res easily replaceable,
ball-bearing D roll p lleys, improving the speedsystem operation. Introd ction of a self-inflating flow aro nd the back of the harness
has improved aerodynamics and flight stability.

3. The Cockpit
The cockpit has an instr ment panel (vario, GPS etc), ready to accept Velcro-finished cases.
Additionally, the panel is eq ipped with a safety knife and can be easily detached with the
instr ments still fixed to it. Under the shelf there is a pocket, accessible in flight to reach
an energy bar or soft drink. The cockpit is integrated with the pod and does not have any
additional fasteners.

4. Frontcontainer (Pogo3 2R version only)
Pogo 3 2R has a frontcontainer which can ho se an alternative resc e ch te.
It is eq ipped with a short V-riser connecting the resc e ch te to
the carabiners of the harness. The frontcontainer is – similarly as the cockpit – integrated
with the pod and has an additional instr ment panel, feat ring safety knife too.
The frontcontainer will best accommodate light resc e ch tes, e.g. Globe Light 90 or
Globe Light 110 man fact red by D dek Paragliders. It is possible to install parach tes of
other brands too, given that their dimensions when packed do not exceed those of the
frontcontainer.
Container capacity:
Max 5700 cm3
Min 4500 cm3
!
After each installation of a resc e ch te in a frontcontainer a compatibility test is necessary.
In order to do that, hang the harness, eq ipped and packed as for flight. Seat down in the
harness and ass me the s al position in flight. Grab the frontcontainer release handle and
p ll it to the side in a resol te effort, so that the parach te is completely o t of the container.
Still, do not throw it away, so that the bag remains closed. If the trial was s ccessf l, p t the
resc e back into the frontcontainer.
