AirDesign have been working on a lightweight but very functional paraglider rucksack for hike-and-fly.
The rucksack is one of the most important pieces of equipment in the mountains. Light weight and carrying comfort are essential for hike & fly. That is why we, together with our team pilots, have developed one of the lightest rucksacks currently available.
Prototypes have been tested during competitions like the Bordairline and the X-Alps, to make sure that the comfort is great even when carried for long periods of time.
The rucksack weighs just 530g. Its fabric may be almost see-through, but AD say the DOKDO-30DMF cloth it’s made from is durable, and there is extra padding in the back area for structural support and comfortable carrying. It 65 litres are plenty of room for everything you need for hike-and-fly.
