Record 3 2006-05-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Skydiving, Paragliding and Hang Gliding
CONT

Paragliders are easier to transport. They pack up into a large rucksack weighing less than 50 lbs (22 kg) including harness, helmet, flight suit, everything. The rucksack can be taken as checked baggage on a commercial airline, allowing paragliders to fly their own wings at sites all over the world. The rucksack can be carried up a mountain by a fit person, allowing safe launching from many places not accessible by roads.

CONT

130 Liters GIN Rucksack. To put all your paragliding or kite equipment. Weight: 1.5 Kg. Color: Yellow with details in black.

Key term(s)
  • rucksac

Domaine(s)
  • Parachutisme, parapente et deltaplane
CONT

Le volume du sac de transport de l'Eclipse est limité. À moins de se munir d'une sellette X-Alp Sup'Air qui concilie bien sécurité, poids et volume, il est difficile de faire rentrer dans le sac tout l'équipement autour d'un modèle avec protection mousse.

CONT

Point de vue pratique, le parapente se range facilement dans un sac à dos et peut donc être transporté aisément sur n'importe quel site de décollage.
