MaterIalS
The skywalk SCOTCH.HY is made of the highest quality of materials. Skywalk has
selected the best possible combinations of materials to use, in consideration of
material longevity, load, stress, and performance. The highest life expectancy of your
wing is a goal of skywalk as we only want satisfied customers.
cloth Materials
After more than 1 year of development and countless testing, we have made a
decision in the beginning of 2005 to use a very special robust Nylon material from
Porcher Marine. This cloth material has somewhat more weight as others we have
tested, but the advance of wing longevity outweights the negatives. Our philosophy is
to use materials which meet our set goals, therefore our bottom and rear upper wing
cloth still uses the trusted 9017 material type, also from Porcher. The reduced weight
of the material and excellent tear quality makes that by far the best choice for
these areas.
lines
LIROS has proven itself to be one of the best manufacturers of paragliding wing lines.
We have selected a well trusted Technora line for the main lines. The reason for this
selection is an excellent stretching quality with a minimum diameter, good sharp
bending resistenz, plus good recovery values.
