More sizes for every need. With its four sizes, the DOUBLESKIN 2 covers a total weight range from 55 to 120 kg and is EN A certified. Compact when packed, the smallest size (16) weighs just 2.41 kg. There's a size for every requirement you have of your mountain paraglider. Another advantage of the DOUBLESKIN 2 is that it is suitable for teaching, with an appropriate wing loading. Enjoy the benefits of a light, safe wing right from your first flight. The different applications are illustrated in the diagram below.
Tip: if you're looking for a smaller, snappier mountain glider, check out the BANTAM 2 (EN D) in sizes 14 and 12.

A reliable companion. Thanks to a new profile and A lines set further back, the DOUBLESKIN 2 is extremely resistant to collapses. Glide performance and stability have been increased with an aspect ratio of 4.9 and a more complex structure: diagonal ribs and more vectorial bands than in its previous version are used. The compact wing remains stable even in accelerated flight and glides efficiently through turbulent air. Its natural manoeuvrability allows it to turn effortlessly in light thermals. In turbulent conditions, the high damping maintains a stable airspeed and prevents unwanted rolling movements.

Easy take-off. The DOUBLESKIN 2's simple, torsion-resistant 7mm wide Kevlar risers make it easy to prepare for take-off - from the very first flights to launches in demanding alpine terrain. The lines are short and their sheaths are coloured, which simplifies untangling and increases their durability. The take-off behaviour of the DOUBLESKIN 2 is particularly easy in a wide range of conditions and with different techniques. You don't have to adapt to the wing, the wing adapts to you.

Light to the extreme. Designed specifically for 'Hike & Fly' activities, mountaineering and 'Vol Bivouac', these products are developed to be as light and compact as possible. To achieve this, Nova uses the most advanced materials and technologies, without compromising safety. To make the most of your "Ultra-Light" equipment for as long as possible, take particular care when handling it.
The DOUBLESKIN 2 has been optimised in this respect: more cells and a more complex internal structure ensure better performance, increased stability and more precise handling. Links have replaced the soft links for connecting the lines to the risers. This makes it easier to handle line changes and trim checks. Compared with its predecessor, the DOUBLESKIN 2 weighs around 250g more as a result of these optimisations.

Target group of pilots
The DOUBLESKIN 2 (EN/LTF A) is aimed at pilots who appreciate an ultra-light wing that is very safe and simple, with fluid handling and minimal packing volume. Suitable for teaching purposes, the DOUBLESKIN 2 offers a great deal of confidence and flying pleasure from the very first flight. The classic use, however, is Hike & Fly in all its forms. Depending on the wing loading and choice of size, the DOUBLESKIN 2 can also be used for relaxed thermal flying. In size 16 with a high wing loading, the DOUBLESKIN 2 can even be flown as a super agile ultra-light mini wing - it is EN B certified in the extended weight range of 80 to 95 kg.

Materials supplied with the wing:
- Ultralight compression bag
- Mini storage bag
- Retaining pins
- Area handle
- Repair kit
- Manual

Whether you're an amateur pilot, a cross-country pilot or an acrobatic ace: your pleasure is their motivation. All their products have undergone extensive testing to ensure they are free from potential faults. Their development is based on the skills of pilots, not on certification criteria. When classifying their products, their main concern is honesty.

Mountain paragliding offers the promise of wild escapes, immersion in nature, tranquillity on take-off and the shared pleasure of a hike with friends... Lightweight paragliders are becoming increasingly popular, and with good reason: thanks to their small size, you can take your paragliding equipment with you wherever you go. Whether you're travelling or in the mountains, you'll never miss another opportunity to fly! Mountain gliders are affordable, and are usually enA or enB approved, so you can fly in variable air conditions in complete safety. A true Swiss Army knife of paragliding, they have a lot going for them! Thanks to their compact size and featherweight, they're just as appealing to backpacking paragliders as they are to mountain lovers. To meet an increasingly versatile demand, this range of lightweight paragliders now offers a wide range of possibilities: ultralight gliders for paralpinism, compact gliders for travellers, or light and sleek gliders for bivouac flights, you're bound to find your new ally here... Our centre is ideally located at the foot of the mountains... Make the most of it! Come and try out our favourite playgrounds!

Your first paraglider is often the one you remember for the rest of your life! We looked at it a lot during our inflation exercises, felt it during our first canopy take-offs, listened to it during our first solo flights... it was a real relationship that was built up... but then... It's the end of the introductory course and you're a pedestrian again. The sky is calling you, and so are your paragliding buddies... It's high time to get your gear and join the flying world! When you're just starting out, you're not sure which paraglider to choose... Don't panic, we're here to help! Our paragliding school is full of new models, which we update regularly. So you can try before you buy, in flight or in inflation, and benefit from the expert advice of our instructors. If you need to, you can also join our school on a training day, for a stress-free trial. Our demo school fleet helps you make your choice, and can also be adapted to your budget if you opt for a second-hand paraglider. By the way, what is a paragliding "School" wing? The beginner's glider, known as a "training glider", is A-rated. Thanks to its forgiving design, it promises easy take-offs, plenty of time in the air to build up your approaches and landings, rock-solid solidity during inflation exercises, and good stability in the air. So they're not the fastest, but they're the safest way to progress in stages. Thanks to constant improvements by our suppliers, they're even more fun and gliding! You won't be getting rid of them any time soon :)
