Description

The Permair protection is 22 cm thick, so you'll be well protected whatever the variation in atmospheric pressure during your flight.
The Permair scored 38.8 g in the EN test. Even inflated to 60 %, shock absorption is effective. The latest generation of PERMAIR protectors incorporates a practical control valve for inflation and deflation, making it considerably easier to refill your protection. You don't have to re-inflate the protector every time you take off, so if you don't need to compress it into a very tight rucksack, you can leave it inflated.
Several inflation methods
Permair 2.0 protectors can also be inflated in a number of ways. As well as the usual method with the inflation bag and compression function, you now have the option of inflating your protector in a minimalist way via the mouthpiece. This mouthpiece includes a moisture filter to minimise the introduction of moisture, and is included in the Permair kit supplied.
For the STRING range
The NEO STRING PERMAIR removable inflatable protection system fits the NEO String range: String 3.0 and Stringpack 2.0.
We opted for inflatables for this range of minimalist harnesses because the removable version of the classic Airbag no longer suits us in terms of safety compared with new technologies such as Koroyd or Permair.
Permair by Skywalk technology will be used for removable protection on ABS harnesses with leg straps. For classic ABS harnesses with bucket seats, Koroyd technology is more suitable.
The PERMAIR NEO STRING is a one-size-fits-all product.
Here you will find all the
accessories and small complementary equipment
indispensable paragliding.
Cockpits, carabiners, helmets, risers, footbraces, accelerators, windsocks, thermal gloves, topo guides, relief maps... We've tried to think of all your needs!
Harness accessories :
The harness is often pre-accessorised when you buy it, but depending on the manufacturer, certain items are optional, so you can also equip it to your taste :)
- The foot brace: this is often a great help for getting into the harness. It's also very comfortable in the air!
- The accelerator: with 2 or 3 bars, it can be a precious ally for reaching the landing zone when the wind picks up...
- Instrument holder: that's it, you've started to equip yourself and you don't know where to put your toys! Fortunately, the cockpit, a kind of paraglider's "banana", allows you to keep all your instruments in sight and store them away at the end of the flight. There are several types of cockpit to choose from, from the lightest to the most elaborate. If all you have at the moment is a radio, a radio holder is all you need. It usually attaches to a strap on your harness.
- Ventral container: for touring harnesses such as leg harnesses, a ventral pocket is often necessary to hold your emergency equipment. It's easy to attach to the main carabiners. With the handle under your nose for the whole flight, it's hard to miss in the event of a mishap! Practical, it acts as a cockpit and you can attach your flight instruments to it with Velcro. Most risers are included in the pack. When you make your purchase, we'll install your reserve together, so that you can familiarise yourself with how to use it.
Hardware :
Your harness will be delivered with suitable carabiners, but we recommend changing them every 5 years. The width of their base is adapted to that of your straps, which is why you'll find a multitude of carabiners of various sizes and shapes in this section. To be effective, the pull must be exerted vertically; if your carabiner gets in the way: beware! This means that it is not suitable, and this inadequate force will make it fragile. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any doubts, as we know our products inside out :). Light harnesses can do without metal and use connectors, small dyneema straps that are much lighter and surprisingly stronger than steel! There's only the psychological barrier to overcome...
Helmets :
After sweating it out on the school slope, it's easy to see why helmets are often the first investment you make in paragliding! Lightweight, it should make you forget you're wearing it. Don't hesitate to try out several brands, as they come in a variety of shapes and will adapt differently to the contour of your head. Most of them have a knob at the back to adjust perfectly. They must be approved for paragliding (EN966), and some are even approved for skiing!
Bookshop :
Learning in the field is all well and good, but you can't develop seriously without a solid knowledge of aerology. Mountain weather can be felt and observed, but it can also be learned. Our instructors have put together a selection of accessible books to help you become independent in the air in complete safety. From weather forecasts and piloting tips to flight stories and comic strips, our library is both varied and targeted! Precise paragliding topo guides, covering the whole of France (and more!), will finally open up the horizons of free flight... And if you want to relive your most memorable flights, our pretty relief maps 100% made in France will decorate your living room...
Clothing :
Beyond the pleasure of wearing your favourite brand, paragliding clothing is designed to adapt to your flying. Technically designed, the T-shirts are breathable, the jackets have elastane to support your piloting, and the gloves are reinforced with leather where the friction of the lines would already have ruined your ski gloves. We've also got the famous Nepalese feather sleeves, the ultimate weapon against the mitre on cross-country flights in the off-season!
Our shop is ideally located opposite the Planfait landing, so don't hesitate to drop in for a test ride or to ask for advice.Here you will find all the

Some paraglider harnesses offer
removable modules to better adapt to your needs, without necessarily having a harness for every activity.
So you can add a
coverleg to certain sport harnesses to transform them into cocoon harnesses and allow you to fly more comfortably. This feature allows them to adapt better to the size of your legs.
In the mountains
backpacks can also be attached to your string harness to make a reversible harness with the carrying comfort of a real hiking bag.
Visit
airbag protection or
foam of your paragliding harness are also safety factors that should not be overlooked!
Whether you've bought a mountain harness without airbag protection, or you've blown the bumpair foam on your school harness, no problem: these parts are interchangeable! While it's easy to do on a mountain harness, you'll need a bit of patience and a lot of perseverance to replace your foam bag (or bump'air) in your sport harness... :) But it can be done.
Protective modules for harnesses must comply with the PPE standard, and are therefore subject to strict European regulations. If you notice any deformation of your airbag, consult your dealer or an inspection body, as this could alter its function.See all our items in the range ACCESSORIES, - Removable modules, Harness accessories.
