For the discerning paraglider pilot, equipment choices go far beyond just the wing and harness. In the pursuit of the perfect cross-country flight, reducing drag and maintaining core temperature are critical factors that often get overlooked. The Advance Speedarms represent a masterclass in solving these issues, offering a sleek, aerodynamic layer that sits perfectly over your flying clothing to streamline your profile and keep you warm during long transitions at cloud base.
For the dedicated cross-country pilot, the difference between a good flight and a record-breaking one often comes down to energy management. While we focus heavily on wing performance, pilot fatigue caused by wind noise and cold air is a silent performance killer. The Swiss manufacturer Advance addresses this directly with their precision-engineered Windshield, an accessory designed primarily for the IMPRESS 4 harness but compatible with various setups requiring a hook and loop fastener solution. This sleek addition is not merely aesthetic; it is a functional tool for the serious aviator.
When the mountains call, the weight of your gear often dictates how high or far you can go.
