Both professional and private pilots have always valued the K2 series. "It flies like a solo glider" is the response from tandem pilots around the world. A characteristic that we naturally retained in the K2⁴. To make the successful model even better, we focused on the launching properties, the weight, and the optimal mix of materials for long-term professional use.

The goal was clear: build a trademark UP glider for the acro scene - a durable product that pilots love to fly. So we went back to the drawing board with Ondrej Procházka to tease out the essential points of such an all-round glider; and build it.
We were striving to come up with a glider that suits most pilots, starting with beginners. A wing that is as easy as the current "relaxed" acro gliders. In a big size, you can have it as a glider to enter the acro flying world. In addition, we ended up with such maneuverability and usable energy that the glider in a smaller size will capture the heart of advanced pilots.
The project would not have had such a good outcome without the skills of our chief designer Franta Pavlousek. His many decades of glider development experience make the UP Misti a very complete and interesting glider to fly.
Dena is our new EN-A + paraglider. It is an A-glider with very fine handling and outstanding performance in its class. Thanks to the use of technological achievements from the development of higher class paragliders, we have achieved a masterpiece that sets a new standard.
The Lhotse² is the second generation of our very successful EN-B wing in lightweight construction. It is based on the Kibo² and thanks to its light weight construction, it is the perfect companion for all H&F, bivouac, and travel adventures. The Lhotse² will amaze you in flight with its appealing, beautiful, precise handling and maneuverability. Additionally, the excellent climbing and performance will tempt you to fly more cross country. The lightweight design will impress you even more when you carry it on your shoulders.
By using the new UP C handles, controlling the angle of attack of your paraglider with the risers is now easier and more effective. With their ergonomic fit and easy handling, you save fortitude and energy on long distance flights as well as in competitions.
The UP C handles can be retrofitted on all risers with a 12 mm wide webbing. If you need more information about this, our instruction below video shows you how to do it.
Included in the package:
Our new glove Vesuv offers a comfortable fit. The combination of soft goat leather (water-repellent) and stretch material (wind- and waterproof) makes it durable and flexible.

A special feature is the double finger touch: There is a touch point at the front of the index finger, this is ideal for wiping on the instrument/phone. On the top of the index finger is another touch point, this is perfect for typing numbers. The palm is equipped with rubber dots for a perfect, slip-proof grip. The knitted cuffs ensure a perfect fit at the wrist.
