Apco Fiesta - DHV1

A great beginner paragliding wing that is safe and very nice to fly. When lauched, the Fiesta set the standard in the DHV 1 Catagory in terms of handling and performance. Traditionally, entry level wings are safe but rather dull to fly, this is no longer a problem with the likes of the Fiesta, a manouverable and solid glider with a good sink rate that will look after you in turbulent air and take you from ridge soaring to Cross Country flying.
Made from Siliconised Gelvanor on both top and bottom surfaces and Super Aramid lines, the Fiesta will have a long life. All Apco wings come with an industry first 3 year guarantee

Ozone Atom - DHV1

The sensational new entry into the DHV 1 paraglider market from Ozone. The design brief was to produce a wing with maximum security blended with maximum fun.
As a result the Atom is a delight to fly with easy launch characteristics, direct handling (often only found on higher performance paragliders) that helps you get the glider going round in the thermals, and a safe, solid feel that gives you confidence in the rough stuff.
Ozone aslo recognise Gelvanor as the best material and uses it on both top and bottom surfaces of the Atom ensuring longevity of the wing.
