Description
THE PILOT
The Vapor was designed for pilots wanting a high level of stability, agility, and fun, alongside a huge flying window in both wind range and glide angle. It’s the perfect first parakite for advanced paraglider pilots, or an intermediate parakite for newcomers to air sports.
Its construction is exceptionally robust, engineered because we know you will be flying in far more demanding environments than just grassy Alpine slopes, embracing the elements.
Although parakites excel in stronger laminar winds, the take-off behaviour has been precisely tuned. This means the Vapor can also be your mountain companion for early-morning descents down the valley, over dry terrain, or snow.
THE TECH
Its design features are a blend of our extensive R&D knowledge from paramotoring, paragliding, performance kiting, and parakite-specific requirements.
The profile offers incredible stability thanks to an engineered reflex design combined with our most advanced competition paraglider technology, ensuring both safety and confidence.
A pure three-line design, it delivers maximum control, whilst its dedicated bridle system allows for dynamic or mellow dives to suit your pilot level. Depowering the wing is simple, thanks to its wooden safety handle.
The Vapor comes in seven sizes with a reduced size gap to cover all pilot weights, terrains, and conditions, offering everyone the best choice of wing without compromise.
IN FLIGHT
The Vapor was designed to play with the elements. It’s easy to handle in low winds, yet powerful and efficient in stronger conditions, offering an extensive range of use for any given size.
We recommend choosing one size larger than usual for more comfort. Remember: it flies fast, dives deep, and lifts high, even when sized up.
Take-off is effortless thanks to smooth inflation in both weak and strong winds: just what you need for morning mountain take-offs or laminar soaring.
Whilst it can be flown gently like a paraglider around the neutral point, it also provides steep dives on demand, alongside dynamic, fully controllable lift on straight flights or turns for easy stabi-touches.
Our R&D team worked hard to deliver a direct response and dynamic feel when desired, whilst offering long brake travel to maintain accessibility for its category with a low stall point that ensures safer slow flying and landings.

Weight and size recommendations are not listed on this page. Due to the dynamic nature of the sport and wing positioning, suitable sizing depends significantly on an individual pilot’s physical condition, skill level, and local flying terrain. Please note: Regardless of pilot weight, the Vapor 11 and Vapor 13 are speed-flying wings restricted to expert pilots only.
