Detailed description
"Rid'Air Team's Opinion: The DOUBLESKIN is a technical marvel. It's the ideal wing for those who hesitate between a single-surface and a classic wing. At only 2.1 kg (size 17), it offers the compactness of a single-surface wing but with the glide, speed, and especially the flare of a true double-surface wing. A delight for short mountain take-offs where every gram counts without sacrificing flying pleasure."
NOVA DOUBLESKIN: Lightweight without Compromise
The NOVA DOUBLESKIN redefines ultra-light standards. Designed as a double-surface wing, it achieves a record weight thanks to a complex and streamlined internal structure. It is the preferred tool for Hike & Fly, vol-bivouac, and all pilots looking for a minimalist pack without sacrificing the performance of a conventional paraglider.
Its design is based on a reduced number of cells and optimized diagonals to maintain a perfect shape while minimizing the fabric required. Despite its featherlight weight, it benefits from excellent stability and EN-A certified passive safety. Inflation is a simple formality: the wing rises on its own, effortlessly, which is a major advantage on steep take-offs or in no wind.
In flight, the DOUBLESKIN surprises with its agility and its ability to exploit thermals. Its trim speed is excellent for a wing of this weight, and its handling is intuitive. Upon landing, unlike many single-surface wings, it offers a clear and reassuring flare, allowing for precise landings even in tight areas.
The DOUBLESKIN is an ultra-light wing using thin materials (Dominico 10D). It requires particular care on the ground to avoid abrasion. For maximum weight savings, it comes with Dyneema rope risers ("Light Risers"), requiring special attention during pre-flight checks.
