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.

Tech
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.
Drinks tube
The WRAP has a pocket for a drinks pouch and rotings for the tube, in both harness and rucksack modes
Edelrid alu karabiners
We chose Edelrid’s karabiners for the main hangpoints, for their light weight and reliability
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
Helmet net loops
To secure the helmet-carrying net
Pockets
The WRAP has a large back pocket, plus zipped pockets with lanyard tethers on both sides
Removable hip belt
The hip belt can be easily removed – simply release the Velcro and slide it out of its channel
Reserve container
We redesigned the reserve system, in particular making the reserve handle attachment more secure, to avoid possible accidental deployments.
Stretchy pockets
Large stretchy pockets on each side of the rucksack can be used to carry water bottles, clothing etc
Waist belt pockets
Zipped pockets on the waist belt to securely stow your keys, snacks or phone
Whistle
A whistle on the chest strap is a built-in safety feature
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.
