(262) 903-8800~~~~~ An excellent condition, current production model, single-point suspension Pod Harness for over 25% off the regular cost of a new one!!! ~~~ The CG1000 is a very popular single-point suspension hang gliding harness that is currently manufactured in New Hampshire, USA, by Jordan Gianforte at FlyCenterOfGravity. Between Jordan and her father, Jay Gianforte, this family-run business has been manufacturing very popular hang gliding harnesses for over 30 years. You can read up on this great company and their product line at www flycenterofgravity dotcom. ~~~~~ From the manufacturer’s owners manual, available on their website: Your CG-1000 is a sophisticated harness which will give you years of good service, provided that you treat it properly and always maintain respect for the demands and dangers of flying. You are reminded that product liability insurance is not available for manufacturers of hang glider equipment, and that you fly with any harness at your own risk. INTRODUCTION AND FEATURES The CG-1000 has an in-flight-adjustable center of gravity (CG) unit. This consists of a single suspension line connected to an internal frame by means of a sliding ring. This sliding ring allows the pilot to change his body pitch angle simply by pushing on the stirrup. The stirrup line pulls the sliding ring which causes the pilot’s pitch angle to change thus keeping the pilot’s center of mass in line with the suspension line. The single suspension line and low frontal profile keeps the drag coefficient to a minimum. The backup suspension line is continuous with the waist, shoulder, and leg straps. This line also protects the main suspension line and parachute line from abrasion and UV exposure. The internal frame gives maximum comfort by eliminating “suspension line squeeze”. We feel all these features combine to make the CG-1000 the best harness available in terms of comfort and low drag. ~~~~ Featured here is a very clean, excellent condition CG1000 pod harness, approx. size Large. The last pilot to hang in this harness is 6’ tall (183 cm. tall) and about 170 lbs. (77 kg.). He said he was very happy with the fit. It is adjustable and will also fit some taller or shorter pilots. Best for pilots between 5’10” and 6’1” tall. ~~~ This handy table (from another manufacturer) offers approximate size equivalents for proper sizing choices (this harness is approx. a size LARGE): Size Armpit Min Height Chest XXSmall 46" 117 cm 4'11" 150 cm. 36-38" 91-97 cm.
