New Porcher lightweight fabric
Porcher Sport are working on a revolutionary lightweight paragliding cloth, to be prototyped in the first paragliders this winter. The Skytex 27 g/m2 double coated material will be as durable as the heavier 40 and 45 g/m2 versions.
A 40g/m2 version of the Evolution range is also now available commercially. Its coating is particularly resistant to becoming porous.

Fantastic. My Nervures Huapi lightweight has lasted 4 years already, but it took a pounding on the gravel launch at Algodonales – a tougher version for the same weight would be just what lightweight flying needs

Sounds good. Any more news, especially about gliders that will use it? I couldn’t find anything on the Porcher website.
Thanks!
