reinforcements. Pay particular care not to bend any of the rigid reinforcements!

All GIN gliders are delivered with a suitable and durable rucksack, which is easy to pack and
offers good ergonomics and comfort.
The backpack type/size included in delivery depends on the paraglider model/size. Therefore,
there are different ways to pack the glider, depending on the personal preferences, the harness
and the equipment. To maximize carrying comfort, the following method is recommended: First,
place the glider inside the harness and then put the top of harness in the bottom of the rucksack
with the glider side next to the back of the rucksack.
The tighter the rucksack is packed, the more comfortable it will be to carry. Gin Gliders offers a
wide variety of rucksack sizes and models. They are available as an optional extra for pilots that
require it.

Even if your paraglider was completely dry when it was packed up after the fi nal fl ight of the
season, for long-term storage you should if possible take it out of the backpack and spread out
the canopy a little in a clean, dry place away from direct light. If you do not have the space to do
this, then open the backpack, internal bag and belt as much as possible and avoid compressing
it. It must be stored at a temperature between 10° and 25° C and in relative humidity between 50
and 75%. Make sure too that the paraglider is not stored in a place where animals such as mice
or cats could use it as a place to sleep.
Do not store the paraglider near any chemicals. Petrol, for example, causes the material to
disintegrate and can cause considerable damage to your paraglider. When your equipment is in
the car boot, keep it as far away as possible from any spare petrol cans or oil containers.
The Yeti Tandem 3 should not be exposed to extreme heat (e.g. in the boot of the car during
summer). The heat may cause any moisture present to be pressed through the fabric, thereby
damaging the coating. High temperatures accelerate the process of hydrolysis, particularly when
combined with moisture, which damages
fi bres and coating. Do not store your paraglider near
