Beginner Hike 'n Fly Kit — Anda + Radical 4 + Yeti UL

This kit is for the new pilot who caught the flying bug early and wants to get into the mountains as soon as possible. Every component is chosen to keep weight low without sacrificing the safety a beginner needs.
 
The BGD Anda is BGD's lightweight EN-A wing — under 3kg in the smallest sizes, packable enough for hand luggage, and certified EN-A across all sizes and weight ranges. It launches easily in light conditions, which is exactly what you need when you're setting up on an unfamiliar mountain slope far from a training hill. Despite the lightweight construction BGD hasn't compromised on passive safety — the Anda is a genuine EN-A, not a performance wing dressed up with a safety rating.
 
The SupAir Radical 4 Plus is one of the best value student harnesses on the market and a consistent FlyWithJordan recommendation. The modular airbag gives you real back protection that you can remove when you want to save weight on a long approach. The included reserve container keeps your kit cost down and the French build quality means this harness will outlast your beginner phase comfortably.
The Gin Yeti UL keeps the total kit weight honest. At under 1kg it's the lightest certified reserve on the market — a genuine advantage for a hike and fly pilot where every gram carried uphill matters. Fast opening and stable descent characteristics make it a reserve you can trust despite its minimal weight.
The BGD Compression Bag rounds out the kit — a simple, durable way to keep your wing packed down tight for the hike up, minimizing pack volume without the complexity of a full concertina system.
 
Together this kit weighs significantly less than a standard beginner setup while maintaining the passive safety every new pilot needs. Call Jordan before purchasing — he'll match the right sizes to your body weight and flying goals.
