Canopy
Dacron high quality Skyte 27 g NCV Porcher Marine is used for the Oxygen in
different colours. Selected for its durability and resistance to UV-damage and it
also reduces weight.
Line Material
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.
All lines were hung and sewn with precision. The end control of all line lengths is
documented for all paragliders produced by ICARO Paragliders.
Risers
OXYGEN has 4 fold risers with acceleration system, Big and Small Ears are made
easier by the separation of the A-risers. Simple launch behaviour, B-Stall, steering
with the D-risers and an optimal geometry for accelerated flight were important
aspects in the development of these risers.
We use 10 mm Kevlar with PE covering for protection (Race-Risers) and Maillon
Rapide oval, 3,5 cm optional softlinks.
