The ICARO XC Backpack is a specialized paragliding rucksack crafted to perfectly complement a complete flying kit including a glider and harness. Constructed from a durable 210D PU-coated ripstop nylon, this pack balances robust tear resistance with low weight, tipping the scales at just 795 grams. This lightweight feature is especially beneficial for pilots undertaking hike & fly adventures or long cross-country (XC) approach hikes, where carrying less weight significantly enhances endurance and comfort.
The UP LHOTSE X EN/LTF B paraglider presents itself as an ultra-light, mid‑B class wing expertly designed to meet the demands of experienced pilots who seek a versatile and high-performance canopy. Its 2.5‑liner hybrid structure cleverly balances the forgiving safety of a 3-liner with the enhanced speed and glide efficiency characteristic of a 2-liner. With an impressively low starting weight of just 2.7 kg (XS size) and a compact pack volume, the LHOTSE X is ideally suited for hike & fly enthusiasts, cross-country (XC) pilots, and mountain travelers craving both performance and easy transportation.
The ADVANCE WEIGHTLESS harness represents a cutting-edge ultralight cross-country (XC) paragliding harness designed by ADVANCE, evolved from the highly regarded X-Alps race harness. It appeals to pilots prioritizing weight savings without compromising on robustness, comfort, or essential safety features. Tailored for ambitious hike-to-XC, vol-biv, and competition flying, where aerodynamic efficiency, minimal weight, and compact packing are crucial, the WEIGHTLESS offers a competitive edge with full XC functionality.
The NOVA AONIC 2 paraglider stands out as a sophisticated EN/LTF A-class wing, designed to provide more than just basic safety for progressing pilots. With its advanced technical features including 51 cells, high aspect ratio, mini-ribs, and an optimized line layout, it aims to deliver enhanced performance without compromising the forgiving nature essential for early solo and post-school pilots.
The COMPRESSBAG ULS is a conically shaped compression inner bag designed specifically for paragliders. Its primary advantage is its ability to significantly reduce the packed volume of a paraglider wing without adding substantial weight. Weighing from as little as 60 grams and available in five sizes (XXS, XS, S, M, L), this bag targets pilots who prioritize weight-saving and compact packing, such as hike-and-fly enthusiasts and cross-country pilots. A notable feature is its anti-snagging zipper, intended to protect the paraglider fabric and lines during closure, improving the packing experience.
The ADVANCE Hip Bag is a compact, water-repellent waist bag designed with everyday and outdoor use in mind, particularly appealing to paragliding enthusiasts and those leading active lifestyles. It offers five separate pockets, four of which are zipped, ensuring organized and secure storage for essentials like keys, phones, wallets, and tools. The water-repellent fabric provides basic protection against light rain or splashes, and the bag’s design is understated with a discreet embroidered ADVANCE logo. Available in Black and Anthracite, it caters to classic and subtle style preferences. However, detailed specifications such as dimensions, volume, fabric composition, and weight are not provided by the manufacturer, leaving some practical considerations to the user’s discretion.
I attempted to access the product page at the provided URL twice, but both attempts resulted in server timeouts. Consequently, I was unable to retrieve any essential information about the product, including its name, photos, detailed description, specifications, or pricing. This lack of access prevents me from conducting a meaningful analysis of the product's qualities, intended use cases, or how it compares to similar equipment in the Advance paragliding bag lineup.
The ADVANCE Beanie Light is a thoughtfully designed, minimalist technical beanie crafted for active outdoor enthusiasts, particularly those engaging in paragliding, hike & fly activities, or any sport requiring a comfortable fit under a helmet. Knitted from a 50% wool and 50% acrylic blend, this beanie balances natural warmth and moisture-wicking properties with synthetic durability and shape retention. Unlike heavier hats, it lacks an inner fleece lining, which keeps its bulk manageable, prevents overheating during exertion, and avoids uncomfortable pressure points when worn beneath helmets. Its simple black color and one-size-fits-all design underline its functional, no-frills philosophy rather than fashion variety.
The NOVA VENTUS – free as the wind – is a modern, seatboard-style all-round paragliding harness designed for pilots who prioritise maximum passive safety and user-friendliness in a classic upright harness configuration rather than a pod style. Positioned as a versatile everyday harness, it suits training, local soaring, thermalling, and relaxed cross-country (XC) flying, rather than specialised hike-and-fly or competition pods.
The NOVA PENTAGON Light is an ultralight, five-sided reserve parachute designed specifically for hike & fly, climb & fly, and vol-biv paraglider pilots seeking maximum safety coupled with minimal weight and compact volume. Weighing only 810 grams in size 85 without the deployment bag, it is about 300 grams lighter than the standard PENTAGON, making it a favored choice among weight-conscious pilots and those participating in competition hike & fly. Available in two sizes—85 kg and 100 kg maximum payload—both sizes meet the EN 12491 certification with low descent rates of approximately 5.2 to 5.4 m/s, which is competitive among modern lightweight reserves in this category.
