THE LIGHT WING FOR EVERYWHERE!
Wherever it takes you - to distant destina-
tions, remote peaks and unknown regions- the
HIMALAYAs fit in your luggage and give your
dreams wings ...
Low pack volume, extremely light weight and
easy handling characterize this low EN-B
glider. Equipped with the best starting charac
-
teristics, a sporty maneuverability and relaxed
flight behavior, the HIMALAYA has been
designed for every type of activity that you
are looking for. Whether long hike & fly tours,
traveling with minimal luggage or expeditions
into the unknown; have your wing with you.
The HIMALAYA offers something for everyone
- great wearing comfort, unsurpassable
starting behavior, fun with high passive safety
and the freedom to live your enthusiasm and
enjoy every moment!
Due to its small pack size in the special
compression inner bag and the low glider
weight of only 2.85 kg (22m²), the HIMALAYA is
comfortable to take even on longer trips.
The good overview of risers and linen levels
makes it easier to prepare for the start even in
tricky terrain.
Thanks to the lightweight materials of the
glider, the HIMALAYAs soar above the pilot. It
quickly lifts you off from the terrain and liter
-
ally blows you up, so you can start safely even
after a hard climb or small start areas.
Easy to maneuver, maneuverable and give
direct feedback, it’s great fun to fly and
gives you a lot of confidence and a sense of
well-being even in moving air. The extreme
flight behavior is good-natured and dampened
by the light cap.
Ultralight but durable. Its elaborated design
is made for long-term durability. The light-
weight Dokdo 10D with double-sided coating
used is currently the lightest on the market
and achieves the best porosity measurements
in comparison.
Of course, the HIMALAYAs did not forget
technical innovations in terms of wing shape
and surface pattern, which optimize its flight
behavior and stability.
All in all, the HIMALAYAs make it easy for you -
easy to carry, easy to start and pleasant to fly
... easy to enjoy!
