COLOR OPTIONS
The glider is made from tear resistant Ripstop Nylon
cloth, which is P.U. coated to zero porosity and then siliconized to give
the fabric high resistance to the elements. Different cloth is used for
the top, bottom and ribs due to their different functions. The lines are
made of superaramid covered with a polyester sheath for protection against
UV, wear and abrasion. The bottom section of the brake lines is made of
polyester because of its better mechanical properties. The karabiners that
attach the lines to the risers are made of stainless steel.
