Cleaning
It is highly recommended to leave the paraglider stored away and well protected when it´s not being used
in a dry place, protected from UV light and away from chemical products.
Your backpack was designed with comfort and practicality in mind. It´s format allows for good content
distribution. Shoulder straps and back support are padded so that comfort is not compromised during walks.
To facilitate the small volumes handling, the top contains two pockets of different sizes.
There are various facts that could help to increase the life of your paraglider. One of them is the way how to
fold your equipment. To take care of the battens folding the paraglider is essential to maintain the starting
and flight characteristics of your paraglider. We recommend to fold the canopy using the origami folding
technic and our origami folding bag. With your paraglider comes a traditional bag to store and protect your
equipment. Storing it in there is a good beginning to protect the canopy.
Cleaning must be performed only when it is absolutely necessary. We recommend the use of water only
with a smooth sponge or cloth. Do not use any chemical product, since it will damage the material perma

- Initiate the folding at the center, placing profile over profile always taking care of the battens (forming
the curve of the profile. To liberate space for the battens, manage the bottom surface.
3 - After folding the battens turn both sides to the center, handle the profile of the center to shape the
form of the others.
4 - Organize the canopy in form of o accordion of both sides and then put one side up the other. Now all
battens should be positioned lateral.
5 - Open your origami folding bag and localize the cushioned area, there you have to put the battens. After
closing the bag fold the part with the battens to the middle, this way they are double protected.
6 - If you use the traditional bag, follow the steps 1 to 4. After this fold the canopy with the battens inside.
This way you protect them. Normally the paraglider occupies the whole bag without great compression.
