Swiss manufacturer Paratech has been around since 1988 and was a leading contender
in those days. Since the new team took over in 2003 they have been on a mission
to bring the brand back to the fore.
The team is serious and committed to bring the fun back to your flying with
confidence in the product both in terms of safety and quality.
Most models are offered in sizes down to XS which will please lighter fliers.

The P26 is an excellent school glider with simple behaviour
on launch and solid in flight. It's stable character also suits the nervous
pilot or infrequent flyer. Handling is not sacrificed for stability however
and the P26 is more agile than many DHV1-2 gliders on the market. It's
no slouch either. |
| The P43 was launched with the revolutionary PAF air intake system which allows the designer to extend the speed range. Solid and forgiving, the P43 is also endowed with exceptional performance in it's class. It's also available on close-out at very attractive prices! Click here for more details. |

The new P44 is a fantastic second glider, or for one
who wants speed and glide approaching Performance-class gliders with minimal
stress. High aspect ratio and the new PAF air intake system allow for
high performance without making the glider too difficult for the improving
pilot to deal with. The new glider has speed and glide consistent with
many current DHV2 models, offering dynamic handling and plenty of feedback.
Available now in 4 sizes. |
| For those wanting a DHV2 glider but not yet ready for
an all-out performance model, the P80 may be the glider for you. Dynamic
in feel yet forgiving in recovery the P80 is best described as a beginner-intermediate
glider and is positioned squarely between the DHV1-2 class and the high-performance
DHV2 models. An excellent third glider for the cautious pilot or second
glider for the skilled and confident novice stepping up. |

The PBi5 has uncharacteristically low steering forces for a tandem glider and the precise and agile handling ability of this twin guarantee a high level of enjoyment without undue exertion. It's also exceptionally simple in it's launch and landing behaviour making it a great choice for the working pilot. More details here. |
| For those who are as interested in descending even more
rapidly than climbing, the P360 is the weapon of choice. Built to withstand
over 16G the P360 is a perfect novice acro glider that is also quite happy
thermalling. Built for pure fun. |

Paratech offers a line of harnesses suited for pilots from novice to XC expert to acro wizard. Built to the highest standards at Sup'air they are as tough as they are practical. The D2 model shown here can be fitted with two reserve parachutes so it's not just for the XC guys.. |
| Not satisfied after designing all these terrific paragliders
and harnesses, Paratech's designer next went after a completely new design
in reserve parachutes. The PS2 features a unique double-cap with cell
walls for incredible stability and low descent rate. |
