To get to know your 

CLOU

  

Harnesses with bulky protection are not suitable for flying with a motor. The 
harness used must be registered along with the paraglider and the motor. In 
Austria and Germany, inspection and approval as well as registration at the 
EAPR resp. ÖAEC is degreed.  For  all  combinations  glider  and  paramotor 
compatibility check is obligated.

Canopy

  

The canopy of the 

CLOU

 is made of synthetic fabric where a reinforced thread-net 

is  woven  in,  which  stops  the  fabric  from  further  tearing  and  is  increasing  the 
firmness  at  the  seams.  The  coating  makes  the  fabric  water-repellent,  UV-stabile 
and  air-impermeable.  On  the  entry-  and  trailing-edge  of  the  canopy  a  special 
ribbon with low elongation is sewn in, which offers cunning, by our design-software 
calculated tension-distribution along the canopy. 

Lines

 

To ensure durability, we use Liros Dynema and Edelrid Technora with HMA core 
(High Molecular Aramid) and a PE covering for the other lines. Depending on the 
line level, we use different line diameters. The complete geometry of the lines is 
shown on the single line plan, which you find in the annex of the manual.
