5. The glider is now folded up along its length, and the leading edges are on top of
each other without having being bent. Fasten the straps near the leading edges, so
that they do not slip, and the straps in the middle and at the end of the glider.
6. Do up the zip, making sure that none of the lines or fabric is caught in the zip.
7. Fold up the glider along its length, with the first fold below the leading edge
reinforcements. Pay particular care not to bend any of the rigid reinforcements!
8. Fold the glider again. Then place the compression strap around the glider and fasten
it by pulling gently. Make sure that the glider is only loosely folded and is not bent or
compressed excessively.
Rucksack
All Fresh Breeze 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. Fresh Breeze
offers a wide variety of rucksack sizes and models. They are available as an optional extra for
pilots that require it.

Packing the rucksack
Storing and transporting the glider
Even if your paraglider was completely dry when it was packed up after the final flight 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.
