Charly Paralock 3
The Charly Paralock 3 is a modern paragliding carabiner that offers numerous advantages and safety features. It can save lives in various dangerous situations.
This new generation carabiner is useful not only during emergency water landings and encountering strong ground winds. The quick-release function for the paraglider can also prevent the dangerous downplaning effect. This is a significant acceleration of the descent speed with an unfolded paraglider after deploying a rescue parachute.
Key advantages compared to traditional paragliding carabiners:
- Allows for disconnection of the paraglider after using a rescue parachute, which helps avoid an increase in descent speed, known as the downplaning effect.
- Aids in dealing with strong wind problems and emergency situations on water.
- Long-term use without issues related to material fatigue.
- Intuitive and safe operation with an additional locking option.
- Easy and hassle-free installation in almost any harness.
- Eliminates the need to carry a knife for cutting lines and straps.
- Strength rated at 28 kN, with a weight of only 75 g.
Highest quality materials:
- PARALOCK 3 is manufactured using an advanced forging process, ensuring high quality. The material used is Titanal, providing high strength and a low weight of only 75 g, with a breaking strength of 2.8 kN. The steel parts are made of hardened chrome steel, and the plastic parts are made of oil-resistant and low-wear POM material. The rotary lever is hard anodized for low friction.
Increased fatigue strength:
- The lock in PARALOCK is constructed differently than in traditional carabiners. This means that the carabiner does not work on bending and unbending. The dynamic load associated with material fatigue in flight is minimal. It has passed fatigue tests without damage, undergoing 2,000 load changes with a peak load of 525 DaN, followed by 5 million load changes at 240.5 DaN in an accredited material testing institute. This corresponds to 5 years of tandem operation without flight hour limitations. The maximum recommended usage period for single-person paragliders is 8 years, without the risk of material fatigue even with prolonged use.
Technical data:
- Name: PARALOCK 3
- Breaking strength: 2,800 DaN
- Weight: 75 g
- Two carabiners included

ANTI-G DRAG CHUTE
ANTI-G
The “Anti-G” drag parachute is a safety device that allows safer spiral descents by reducing the G force in a spiral dive. This system is very simple to use and works with any type of glider.
To attach Anti—G to X-Rated 6, a special pocket has been designed, passing from right to left, with a karabiner inside used to attach the
bridle of the small drag chute. This pocket is at the bottom behind the seat; it is easy for the pilot to find as it is located just above the air inlets
on the side of the harness.
To properly use the drag parachute, simply open the zipper on the right or left (depending on which side you intend
to spiral), extract it, and deploy it before initiating the spiral.
The advantages of using it are a higher sink rate and up to a 40% reduction in G-Force.
You can descend in spiral and then disable the drag chute using the handle and land as normal with the Anti-G parachute deployed (butdisabled).
Otherwise, once exiting the spiral, you need to disable it and then put it back in its pocket and close the pocket zipper. At this point it is
ready to be used again.
WARNING:
To ensure correct use of the “Anti-G” parachute it is important that you carefully read and understand the instructions included in the parachute manual.
The “Anti-G” braking parachute is optional equipment and can be purchased separately

Finsterwalder UNILOCK paragliding carabiner (pair)
Finsterwalder UNILOCK paragliding carabiner (pair)
Ultralight, universal paragliding carabiner
With a weight of only 45 g and a breaking load of more than 25 kN, the UNILOCK is currently the lightest and at the same time most loadable paragliding carabiners on the market.
In the fatigue test, it endured 2.000 load cycles with an upper load of 252 DaN and subsequently 5 min. load cycles with an upper load of 115,4 DaN. The UNILOCK thus achieves a fatigue strength of 5 years in mono use.
Overview of the Finsterwalder UNILOCK's most important features:
- The snap gate turned by 45° facilitates the attachment to the harness.
- The design in the shape of a “3” with a high stability against twisting.
- The UNILOCK is suitable for both narrow and wide webbing.
- The lower belt chamber has an extra support surface for the hip belt, which slightly raises its position. This has a positive effect on the comfort of the harness.
- Red/green marking simplifies orientation when attaching the risers.
- Gate play individually tested.
Breaking load: 2.500 DaN
Weight: 45 g
Replacement interval: 5 years (mono)
Drag-chute anti-G Kortel Design
Drag-chute
Not just another anti-G on the market.
The Kortel drag chute has a projected area of 1.6m² and a diameter of approximately 145cm.
It is the largest drag-chute available on the market today, for greater efficiency in rapid descent manoeuvres.
But above all, it has two power positions, allowing it to manage several planes of finesse in a straight line, in order to manage the proximity of an aerial surface or the ceiling while continuing to run.
An exclusive hollow swivel limits the effects of rotation and maintains good sink and recovery characteristics, even after prolonged use.
With a weight of 470g, it has been specially developed for the Kanibal race 2 with its central attachment.
This attachment improves the feel when the drag chute is deployed, stabilizing the harness in yaw and avoiding the jerks generated by a link attachment.
As an indication, at 4G, we reached 12m/s drop rate without the drag-chute, and 20m/s with the drag chute deployed. It therefore allows a significant gain without having to withstand more G's.
(Indicative values, may vary depending on the wing used and the temperature and pressure conditions).
Projected surface area: 1.6m².
Diameter: 145cm
Weight: 470g
