More than 1,500 kilometres distance, bivoucs at higher than 6,000 metres, in between a dash of extreme mountaineering: this six week Karakoram vol-biv adventure of Damien Lacaze and Antoine Girard is extreme in anybody’s book.

Well-proven – now perfected. The LIGHTNESS concept created a new category of harness, and now this second generation takes the best of the original and adds to its safety, comfort and style. With a weight from 2.8 kg the LIGHTNESS 2 is a light harness, but, in its current form, it completely satisfies the needs of the ambitious cross country pilot. It has an integrated reserve, certified protector and improved aerodynamics; and again comes with its own rucksack, now including a COMPRESSBAG light.

The PROGRESS 2 is the first reversible harness without compromises. It is extremely light and has both built-in reserve system and certified airbag. The perfect look is included. Unique for the PROGRESS 2 are feedback damping in the air and freedom of movement on the ground. All in all, this product is the compact, all-round solution for the recreational pilot.

As a light and compact Performance-Intermediate from 3.4 kg the XI satisfies the most diverse pilots’ needs; and does it in style. Whether near or far, difficult flying or exciting adventure. The new light high-end B goes with you for bivouac flying, Hike & XC-fly tours, traveling or discovering new routes in remote regions. XI – Realise your Story.

The new LIGHTNESS 3 offers comprehensive comfort both in flight and handling, and there’s even more protection. A new choice of standard or light speedbag results in a wider range of uses; there’s also the option of a windshield, which significantly raises flying comfort on long distance flights.

A day out with the brand new IOTA Pre-Series Gliders.

The north east of Brazil beckons cross country cracks every autumn. Chrigel Maurer, ADVANCE test pilot Patrick von Känel and four other Swiss paraglider experts left for Ceará last October, as a team, and there found a quite different sort of cross country adventure to deal with. They returned not only with a big bag of kilometres, but, most of all, with new and character-building experiences.

The PROGRESS 3 offers great versatility in a compact shape. Whether for travel, thermal flying, short Hike and Flys, Freestyle manoeuvres or for training, PROGRESS 3 pilots are best equipped for all their exploits. The practical reversible harness has an Air-Foam Hybrid-Protector which provides comprehensive protection at all times. 3D development technology guarantees the highest level of flying and carrying comfort, and is also responsible for the clean outlines.

The fun starts on the way up with the PI. The world's lightest glider, rucksack and harness could weigh as little as 3.14 kg. This multitalented wonder takes in the whole scene from "Hike&Fly Pleasure" to "Mountain Intense".

In June 2006 Raúl Rodríguez had set a new Infinity Tumbling World record at the Passy Plaine-Joux site (France), flying the first N-Gravity glider.Jumping out of a helicopter from 4807 m, Raúl performed 111 Infinity Tumbling, breaking his own previous 70 loops record.
