Hallo aus Österreich.Habe mir das Video von Dir angesehen über das Gurtzeug-Switch von Ozon.Habe es mir bestellt und bin total zufrieden damit!!Super Video von Dir und sehr informativ!!Aloha and Mahalo.
I am glad this video helped you make a decision. I've had this harness for ~18 months now and I still love it. I've use for both mini and big wings as light gear.
Finally got my Switch and it's well designed but as you noticed when using the protection the reversed bag is pretty tight for trying to get a wing into. Sad since it wouldn't have added too much weight to make the bag a bit bigger.
Works great for a mini or maybe a single skin but yeah, normal size wings wouldn’t fit in. What I’ve done for travels or hike and fly is keep the harness opened, fold the wing in its concertina around it and put the whole thing into regular rucksack. That works well even if the rucksack takes most of the space in the back pocket of the switch when you fly.
I recognize that this is 2 years later but any chance you could measure the size of the bag when packed? I'm curious if it wlll work as a carry-on w/ a wing, reserve and helmet. Assume something like a ultralite or other small wing . For doing a 25m wing (fullsize, not mini).
I did not measure it but I can tell you that I used as carry-on last summer on a large airliner and a regional jet. I carried in my mini wing and a helmet (light weight small reserve integrated in it) and I had no problem to fit it in the overhead bins.
Thanks ! Yes I’ve flown with the Brave 4. There was 4 things I was looking for in a light harness for minis: Back protection, Integrated reserve, speed bar option, and confort (crotch…). With the Brave 4, I used a front-mounted light reserve, I installed a speed bar but it was jus adequate, and it had good confort but lacks back protection. Otherwise I like its modularity, packing volume and good construction. I used the Switch now but I am not parting with the Brave4…
These pants are from Decathlon. They are no longer sold and were replaced by the Forclaz Trek 500, Hiking Pants. There is a store in San Francisco I believe (Decathlon.com), but you probably can buy online from the French store Decathlon.fr which has much more choices and supplies.

@@leso1402 Good idea, I'll give that a try next.

Nice review! You mention that the switch is in the same category as the Swing Brave 4, if you have flown both, how do they compare?

@@leso1402 Thank you! That's fantastic insight since I have not been able to test both myself
Will it work with a flare mustasch
Yes I believe so. A friend of mine tested the mustache a few times with the Switch. I used it to fly both with mini and big wings. Still love it.
@@leso1402Thanks i have ordered one now :)
what is the opener song (oh yeah... oh yeah)?
It’s “Ava” by Garmiani
