The Kiss is an ultralight, small-packing wing for mountain adventures. Simple, safe and fun, its roots are in hike-and-fly but it’s an excellent soaring and thermalling wing for lighter pilots, or loaded up in the hands of more experienced pilots, it’s an agile, big-grin machine, perfect for strong-wind soaring.
PACK SIZE
The Kiss can be comfortably packed to the following dimensions:
16m: 30cm x 30cm x 13cm
18m: 35cm x 35cm x 15cm
The Kiss was made for pilots who love to wake up in the mountains with their paraglider; to hike hills or climb snowy peaks.
It’s mountain-hardy, made from light but durable materials with very wide weight ranges for maximum versatility. The smallest, 16m size can be flown by 50kg pilots with excellent passive safety; but it can also be flown at 90kg, where it will be fast and dynamic, the realm of experienced pilots.
