Light backpack Explorer 90 SWING

A TALLER, SLEEKER, MORE COMFORTABLE PACK

The new wings, with all their complex internal battens, are much longer when packed than they were just a few years ago. 

We have been busy making a backpack that reflects that change, and are proud of the new UP glider backpack! It is tall enough to accomodate your lovingly packed performance UP wing AND your bulky comp harness, it is much more comfortable to carry due to a better load distribution, and with heavy-duty YKK zippers and triple-reinforced sewing it is strong enough to last. 

Plus it is almost 500g lighter than the previous model!

The new bag comes in M and L. The M size is for beginner and intermediate wings/pilots with normal-sized gliders and harnesses, whereas the L size is for the performance-oriented gliders/pilots carrying more kit and larger harnesses. 

The M size holds 140l and weighs 1230g, while the L size holds 175l and weighs 1330g.

The M size is included with deliveries of Ascent 4's, Dena, Makalu 4's, and Kibo², and Summit XC4's in XS, and Trango X-Race in S.

 The L size is included as standard with Summit XC4 and Trango X-Races in all other sizes as well as for Meru and Guru. When you order a new UP wing you may ask to have the standard size replaced by the other one, for a small surcharge. 

Please note that we cannot change the backpack for you after you have received your new wing - but you are always welcome to purchase a supplementary pack from your UP dealer.

Sherpa Backpack "Sherpa"

The Swing Sherpa packing bag is available in two sizes (L and XL) and is included in the delivery of most Swing paragliders.

The standard backpack, L being 130 litre and the XL is a whopping 200 litre. Basically the large will be sufficient for most, unless you have a big competition harness or simillar, in which case the XL has it covered.

Special Features of the Sherpa

Side handles for comfortable lifting

Padded shoulder straps and backrest

Removable hip belt

Additional sewn fixation strap inside the backpack for holding the wing or harness in place

Load area for small parts easily accessible in the upper part of the backpack

Compression straps for optimized adjustment of the volume

Further side and top pockets

Reflective stripes for better visibility in darkness

Integrated compression possibility for small storage in the harness

Cross-country flying is one of the supreme disciplines in the sport of paragliding. There is no greater freedom for pilots than to begin their flying adventures from remote launch sites, which often can only be reached on foot. The sporty and elegant Connect Race Lite can be used as a comfortable cross-country harness whatever your plans.

It is light enough for extended hike and fly trips, and its construction and the materials used guarantee durability and easy handling both on the ground and airborne. The protector options and removable seat board allow you to optimize the Connect Race Lite according to your particular needs and purpose.

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.

SWING FAST PACKING BAG

First, the Swing Paragliding fast packing bag offers a comfortable shoulder carrying system.

The inside riser bag and a double lacing ensure optimum operability.

While wearing the padded shoulder system in connection with ultra-light materials (1040g) it provides you a comfortable feeling, especially for your back.

In addition, the stuff bag capacity makes it very flexible for different purposes.

For example, the Swing stuff bag can be used with a solo paraglider or tandem wing. The bag fits the appropriate size and can be compressed easily with the compression straps on the side.

The Swing bag can accommodate all your paragliding gear including your paraglider, harness, accessories, variometer, helmet.

The UP Serac is the perfect top layer for cool mountain evenings, or middle layer for cold flights. Made from a stylish knit fleece, it doesn't just look good - it feels great too. 

The inside of the cloth has gone through a roughening process where it is scratched to form a soft and very comfortable surface which feels super soft against the skin, and makes the whole thing more windproof too. 

The material is 100% polyester, and the Serac comes in sizes M, L and XL.
