  • I have had the BF cocoon V2 for a few weeks now and I have had the time to fly it for several hours. The harness is well designed and well made and I feel it is a worth successor to my Supair Strike 1.

    Thanks for the review!
    I have to say that the amout and the layout of the lines on the BF seem a bit messy and overwhelming to me, but I guess it all makes sense after reading a manual.
    Interesting points on the Strike. None of the reviews I've seen mentioned that it has the tendency to tip over so much during collapses (well..maybe that's only the case when paired with a high AR wing).

    Thanks for this video!I'm seriously considering getting this harness. I sat in an RXA-3 and it didn't fit my body geometry, partly because it doesn't have a seat board. I understand that the seat board makes things more tippy and more weight shifty, but it also prevents the harness from compressing my hips which is painful to my 68-year-old body. Question: have you flown this harness with the optional seat board? Another question: how far up the back does the inflatable protection go? One thing I really did like about the RXA3, was the back protection went way up the back.
    Yet another question: where are the fairing inflation ports? On the RXA3, there is only one port on the left side and it's possible to block that port with your arm, resulting in a flappy fairing.
    By the way, I currently fly the Sub Air Delight 4 and I find it to be extremely comfortable albeit quite a tank. I'm looking to move down a size and go with a much lighter hiking kit. I'm currently flying the photon, and will be getting the photon lyght in a few days I need to decide whether to get the medium large or the medium small. If I get the medium large, I'll stick with my D4, but I'd like to get the medium small and really try to lighten things up and have much more pleasant hikes.

      Ok, many questions. So firstly it is several months later and I still love this harness. It is very comfortable and I find it easy and reliable to use. Regarding the inlet ports, it has one on each side and the tail always inflates perfectly. As soon as you drop into hang for a landing it deflates. I can't talk about the BF seat board, but I made my own from an old cross country ski and it is only about 5cm wide , but adds a little extra weighshift without affecting the comfort. finally the back protector starts at the things and goes all the way up the back, I feel like I am sitting in a racing seat it adds stability and comfort and I think ti should offer a lot of protection.

      @@hangflyer thanks for the prompt reply! I am exchanging emails with bugdan and hopefully I can figure out all the details. It's somewhat complicates things being in Texas USA. I also need to make sure that he'll accept a return if I get it and I find that it's not comfortable for me. I suspect there might be a little bit of a language problem, because several other people that have made inquiries receive the same form letter.

    My only issue is resale value
