7. Fold up the glider along its length, with the fi rst 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.
Gin Gliders has a wide range of different rucksacks. Choose between lightweight hike 'n fl y or
indestructible classic models, available in various sizes to match your fl ying equipment.

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 the 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.
Packing the rucksack
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 Condor 2 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 radiators or other heat
sources. Always transport your glider in the special concertina bag and use the backpack provided for
the rest of the equipment.
