Frequently Asked Questions

Please read our FAQ before sending us a message.

HOW DO I RETURN OR EXCHANGE AN ITEM?

We are confident that we are selling the top brands on the market. But if you are not satisfied with your product, please call us for a return authorization. Any item that you want to return must be unused in the original box with all the paperwork for store credit or refund. The shipping cost is not refundable. Use a traceable courier with insurance for the return. The return cost and insurance is at your own expense and your responsibility.

WHAT IS A PARAGLIDER MADE UP OF?

There are a few different components. When you look at a paraglider, you will see the canopy (the wing), risers, the harness, and carabiners (used to connect the harness and risers together). You will also notice break cords, which allow both speed and direction control

AIRBAG OR BUMPAIR?

This can be challenging to decide between because it really depends on the type of paragliding experience you are striving to have. For a quick reference, if you plan on hiking up a mountain to jump off or want to travel often, then Airbag would be the better choice. If you’re going to stick to local sites with less walking involved, then Bumpair would be the ideal route to go.

WHAT TYPES OF HELMETS ARE THERE?a protected?

There are several brands and types that you can choose from. But in general, there are two categories, open-faced or full-faced. Open-faced is the cheaper and lighter option and gives you more that “open” feel since your face is exposed. The full-faced is a bit heavier but allows for more safety features. Some even come with intercom systems inside for communication perks.

WHAT ARE THE PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS TO BE A PARAGLIDER?

Though you will be flying in the air, you still need to make sure your body is in proper shape for this sport. As a rule of thumb, you should be less than 250 pounds, be able to run for take-off, and have strong leg traits for landing/absorbing the impact. Before starting, try some leg, core, and arm workouts 1-2 months beforehand to build up the necessary physical elements. If you are going to be a hiker as well, then more stamina and muscle training may be required.

HOW LONG WILL MY PARAGLIDER LAST?

Even with annual maintenance and inspections, eventually, your paraglider will need to be replaced. Over time the wear and tear and the deterioration from UV light all add up. Though when this will happen varies significantly, a ball-park replacement guideline is somewhere between 200-300 hours of flight time.
