REVERSE 3

winguu equipment, para news

REVERSE 3 represents the third generation of the successful all-in-one backpack.

If the first generation of REVERSE harness surprised pilots by its low weight, comfort and high efficiency of the airbag, and the second generation by the technical performance and many small improvements, the third generation keeps the pace.

Compared to previous generation  REVERSE 3 is offering pilots recalculated stability system, modified adjustment points for more in-flight comfort, completely new design, easier access to backpack when storing equipment and modified strap system and so on.

Could you even imagine a “ready to fly set”, which weights less than 10 kg, including reserve and back protection? Now you can and whats more, in reasonable volume! …read more

SKYLIGHTER

winguu equipment, para news

SKYLIGHTER is a harness especially suited for all the pilots who ask for maximum comfort, speed-bag and minimum weight. SKYLIGHTER focuses on experienced pilots who appreciate comfort, simple and smart design and high performance.

A harness that could be lighter than the SKY? Light and comfortable? Comfortable and high performance? Performance and still safe and fully EN LTF certified? Yes, that is SKYLIGHTER!

SKYLIGHTER is mix of design, experience and technology. Its design was developed thanks to a collaboration with a new designer: Pierre Bouilloux of SUP Air, who comes to us 2 years ago with the idea of producing new harness in SKY Paragliders facility, based on Delight.

SKYLIGHTER is a new generation of hammock type harness or “boardless” harness. Harness gained its attribute simply because board have been removed and the geometry of the harness is brand new. Strap system did not remain the same, your weight is now transfered not just on the board but spreading on the whole harness – from foot rest to shoulders. You will feel surrounded by your harness and find your position surprisingly comfortable.

Ozone Pilots Gear Up for the X-Alps

winguu para news

The 2013 X-Alps route has been revealed, and Ozone pilots around the world are already training hard for what many consider to be the world’s toughest adventure race. The biannual event will be even longer, more technical, and more complex this year, with turnpoints forcing the athletes to cross through several very difficult sections of the Alps and travel more than 1000kms in total.

The 2013 edition comes 10 years after the first X-Alps, in which Ozone’s Chief Designer and Test Pilot, Dav Dagault, placed 2nd flying a special light wing of his own design. Ozone’s passion for light equipment and vol-biv adventure flying has encouraged us to support pilots in the X-Alps every since, as well as many intrepid adventurers who have set distance and altitude records in the wildest parts of the Himalaya, American West, South America and Africa. In addition to Dav’s X-Alps performance, Luc Armant’s now famous 1000km solo unsupported Himalayan vol-biv flight and Fred Pieri’s vol-biv adventures across central Asia have provided much fuel for our lightweight innovation.

With Chrigel Maurer heading up the Ozone X-Alps Team of pilots and helping us to develop the ideal X-Alps equipment package (Wing, Harness, Backpack), we’re very excited about this year’s event. We will post more details on the list of pilots flying Ozone and the equipment that we will be supporting them with, very soon. Please stay tuned and we look forward to following the pilots on this year’s course! Good luck to all involved, and we hope for another safe and fun event.
