Advance’s new Fastpack is a fast-packing paraglider stuffsack that draws up and closes into a comfortable rucksack, using a compression zip system.
There’s room inside for your helmet and gloves, and bungee cords and external pockets for extra stowage space if necessary, and even a separate riser pocket. Once you’ve gathered the wing and tightened the drawstring and compression zip, you can adjust the centre of gravity of the load with the shoulder straps, ensuring it’s comfortable to carry.
The Fastpack is designed to save time and get you back up the hill for that all-important second flight.
The Fastpack has a volume of 160l and weighs 900g.
