Brings out the best in you

With the MAKALU 5, flying is simply fun! Like the popular MAKALU 4, its successor has everything pilots need to take full advantage of the low-B classification. Safe, simple and with an extra portion of potential for cross-country flights. Of course, the typical UP handling is also back at the start.

Woody Valley RACE is an ultra-light harness, evolved from the RACE PRO model, which is the most extreme version used by Woody Valley competitors in major hike & fly competitions.

We managed to create this product with the help of Aaron Durogati and many other pilots who flew extensively in this harness and provided us with valuable feedback and suggestions.

RACE is suitable for hike & fly pilots, bivouac flying, and XC.

Easy & light

The MANA 2 is, as its name suggests, the second generation of our ultra-light fun-guarantor. It is extremely versatile and its tiny pack size and light weight make the MANA 2 the best companion for all kinds of adventures.

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.

Lighten UP your adventures

As a 2.5-liner hybrid, our ultra-light LHOTSE X offers the full potential of the B-Class for long distance flights - with an extremely small pack size starting at 2.7 kilos. The finely tuned handling and plenty of speed make it the ideal companion for mountain-enthusiastic pilots who are stepping up from the A-Class as well as advanced pilots who value safety reserves. Incidentally, the LHOTSE X is particularly handy for hike & fly and traveling thanks to our perfectly fitting CompressSmart packsack.

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.

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.

THE NEW STUFFSACK²

Put the glider inside, close the buckle, tighten the cord, close the zipper, and get yourself up to takeoff!

Ergonomic shoulder straps make it easy to carry, five compression straps allow pilots to quickly achieve a compact backpack, and the partial mesh outer layer lets the wing breath. 

At just 900g it ads very little bulk and weight to the harness while flying.

Stuffsack² works with all models and sizes. It is already available to order and it is delivered with our tandem gliders.

The horizon is not enough

The simultaneous release with the new TRANGO X is no coincidence, but shows once again how technologies from higher classes find their way into lower categories. Accordingly, the new SUMMIT X has inherited the genes of its "big brother" and, in addition to the brand new 2-liner hybrid line setting, also shows its family affiliation in the airfoil. The fact that this interplay of new technologies can now also find its way into the B-Class is due not least to the successful cooperation with a renowned technical university, which was significantly involved in the development of the new, more powerful and more rattle-resistant profile. Countless simulations and several prototypes later, we are proud to be able to usher in a new era in the B category with the new SUMMIT X!

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.
