Ample passive protection

DHV/LTF certified, with ample passive protection and very good testing results, the Fast Pro II remains a thoroughbred racing harness built for those for whom the last 0.1 in L/D may mean the difference between victory and oblivion. It is however a remarkably comfortable harness, and the average Fast pilot wouldn't have it any other way.

The XC machine

The fast XC is the ideal companion for cross-country pilots seeking the finest, most comfortable performance harness available. It is aerodynamic, it is fully enclosed and it has plenty of passive safety in the form of ample foam-filled airbags in case the landing doesn't go completely according to plan. With this harness, going the distance has just gotten easier!

Allround harness

We're happy to announce the new Nanga 2 allround harness, successor to our popular Nanga model.

The Nanga 2 is a compact and light traditional harness with sporty looks, built for thermal-, weekend- and recreational pilots - indeed for anyone looking for a full-featured XC harness in the light and compact end of the scale.

Perhaps the finest tandem paraglider available today - DISCONTINUED MODEL!

The UP K2-2 tandem has been described by experienced tandem pilots as the most versatile, fun and lively tandem wing on the market; we know of several professional tandem pilots who take it out for acro sessions with their friends to wind down after a long day of taking paying passengers up – this has to be the best indicator of the FUN factor built into this design!

• More speed, wider speed range 
• Positive and negative trimmers
• Less brake pressure
• Nylon battens (ASS) in leading edge, no mylar
• Less weight, easier packing
• 2 sizes
• New more dirt-resistant standard colours
• Swept back wingtips
• Great launch characteristics due to optimized sweepback angle
• Sporty look
• Size SM certified for solo and tandem use

It is all about performance

The UP Kantega XC2 is built to perform. It is a direct UP response to the new breed of EN B wings that our sport are seeing; wings which, in spite of their EN B rating, are capable of taking their pilots on long Alpine FAI triangles through the most challenging conditions.
