IN SEPTEMBER 2017, AARON DUROGATI , TAMARA LUNGER AND ALEX D’EMILIA DECIDED TO EXPLORE THE INDIAN HIMALYAS – BY AIR. DURING 4 WEEKS OF ADVENTURE THEY MADE MORE THAN 20 FLIGHTS AND REACHED A HEIGHT OF 6200 METRES WITH THEIR TANDEM PARAGLIDER.

The SIGMA 9 cross country intermediate excels in its maximum performance and precision. The distinctly compact wing conveys a feeling of well-inflated strength, especially when accelerated, and flying in thermally active air. The legendary SIGMA series stands for both tradition and progress. This ninth generation is again unmistakable in handling and design.

Nathalie and Alain Antognelli are on the road for five months and travel from Monaco to Mongolia. Somewhere in the fully packed land cruiser a compact rucksack of lightweight paragliding cross-country gear.

When a combination of apparent opposites leads to a successful outcome. The new EPSILON 7 leisure intermediate impresses by its compactness, combined with outstanding performance. Exceptionally straightforward and precise handling makes this elegant wing the perfect glider for recreational thermaling pilots.

Paragliders and harnesses are getting more compact and lighter. That's why we have further improved the COMFORTPACK and matched the volumes to our range of products. See the COMFORTPACK demo film to see how to pack your glider into the rucksack.

The SUCCESS 3 is a sport harness with a foam protector, intended for recreational and cross country pilots who prefer to fly without a speedbag. Developed using the latest 3D technology it benefits from the perfect shaping and stress analysis of its component parts. This has resulted in a more elegant outline, less wrinkling, and ultimately improved aerodynamics and a high level of comfort.
