Ozone BV1 Ultimate Vol-Bivouac Pod Harness
Ultimate Vol-Bivouac
- Large & efficient gear storage options
- Excellent comfort & support
- Only 1.9kg for the MS size
- Durable enough for many seasons of use
- Available in 4 sizes
A large inflatable back protector, ample storage to take onboard all the kit needed for long trips, and other innovative features such as a solar-panel mounting anchors set the BV1 apart. It’s “everything you need, nothing you don’t” with practical features such as a fully load-bearing anti-forget harness system.
Back Protector
An advantage of inflatable back protection is that it can be inflated with your gear in place. The result is that your equipment is stored securely and will not move around in flight, and the harness is very comfortable even with full kit*.
Massive Storage
The inflatable protection pocket is easy to load and unload thanks to its large horizontal access point. It easily stores heavy and cumbersome equipment such as your stove, tent or hiking poles (which you hopefully won’t need to use, much). A large dual zip rear compartment is easily loaded and unloaded, and is locked shut with magnets. The hydration pouch compartment is located here, with tube access over the shoulder. The pocket under the cockpit is ideal for external battery storage. Upper Pod Pocket: Easily accessible, it’s ideal for cameras and other in-flight needs. Left side storage: Large enough to accept a camera pole or other accessories.
Solar-Ready
Solar panel attachment anchors are located on the top of the pod, allowing you to install the solar panels post-take-off to charge your external power source.
Structured for Comfort
The BV1’s support structure is reinforced with nitinol rods in the back, and carbon rods under the seat, for a relaxed recline and quick & easy transition to landing position for technical top landings. Its wide leg straps are integrated with a comfortable and secure feeling bucket seat, and both leg straps open for easy gear-up.
*Harness back protector meets EN certification requirements only when fully inflated.

Care and Maintenance Guidelines
To keep your Ozone BV1 Ultimate performing at its best, inspect it regularly for wear, store it in a cool dry place, and avoid prolonged UV exposure. Always clean it with mild soap and fresh water, and follow the service schedule recommended in the manual. This ensures the harness remains safe, comfortable, and durable for years to come.
How to Use the Ozone BV1 Ultimate
Getting started with the BV1 Ultimate is easy: adjust the shoulder, chest, and leg straps to fit your body, check all buckles and safety systems, and connect to your wing’s risers following the manual. Practice entering and exiting the pod on the ground. During flight, monitor the harness trim, cockpit, and reserve handle positions. Follow all manufacturer checklists for preflight and postflight to ensure consistent safety and performance.kg in kilonewton

Flight Operation Best Practices
When preparing for flight with the BV1 Ultimate, perform a thorough preflight check of all buckles, lines, reserve container, and cockpit devices. Confirm that your reserve handle is easily accessible and unobstructed. During launch, lean forward to smoothly transition into flight and enter the pod gradually, ensuring no snags. In-flight, maintain awareness of cockpit settings, leg and shoulder strap positions, and trim. Stay relaxed yet alert, and regularly scan your surroundings. For landing, slide out of the pod in time, adopt an upright position, and prepare for flare. Practicing these steps repeatedly improves muscle memory and guarantees a safer, more confident flight experience. Always consult local regulations, weather forecasts, and best practices from experienced instructors.
Cautions and Warnings
Using the BV1 Ultimate requires strict adherence to safety guidelines. Never fly without a thorough preflight inspection. Do not exceed the recommended weight range. Avoid modifications that change the structural integrity of the harness. Keep all emergency systems clear and functional. Always practice reserve deployment on the ground with an instructor before your first flight. Flying in turbulent or dangerous weather can be life-threatening, so exercise caution, check forecasts, and never exceed your skill level.
