UP webshop goes global

From now on, the UP Webshop will be available for worldwide shipping for the first time, instead of just within Germany as before. The range includes clothing and accessories - including replacement lines - as well as paragliders in category C and higher, and the seasonal sale of demo gliders. For the paragliders mentioned, we continue to only sell directly in countries where UP is the distributor itself – i.e. Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We will forward requests from other countries to the respective distributor/dealer for you.

Sale of demo gliders and residual items

It's easy to get a new paraglider in time for the next season and get a bargain at the same time, with our sale list. Here you will find used models from our demo stock and sometimes even brand new gliders from the previous collection. Important: if you are interested in a wing from this list, please contact your UP dealer. Our dealer will make you a favorable, non-binding price offer. We do not sell directly.

Have fun flying!

Podcast with UP designer Frantisek “Franta” Pavlousek

Three decades of experience in paraglider construction! There is a lot to talk about, and the “Paragliding Atlas” podcast series by Aninder Singh from Norway has taken on the “pure gold of information” (quote from the podcast) on Spotify. It covers the history of technical developments, current trends/materials and an outlook on future paraglider design. You can find the 1.5-hour conversation in English here.
