Only the BEST materials for Sky Paragliders:

Canopy - The cloth is manufactured using the “Rip Stop” weave structure, out of super polyamide (PA 6.6) by the American firm DUPONT. French company “Porcher Marine” specializes in the cloth airtight  treatment. In last two years Porcher Marine has been heavily involved in advanced paraglider fabric development; creating new, more durable coatings which has led to a new generation of materials that came to be known as NEW SKYTEX. The new coating is much more resistant to abrasion, UV resistance, and humidity. Sky Paragliders exclusively use NEW SKYTEX 9017 and coating E77A (bilateral water base coating that impregnates the fibers, rather than just the surface) for the top surface. The under surface of the wing is made from the same NEW SKYTEX fabric with an E38A coating. The internal ribs are made from SKYTEX 9017 and E29A coating. 

Lines - The lines on gliders by Sky Paragliders are of the highest quality, supplied by the German firm EDELRID. These lines combine high resistance to mechanical abrasion as well as a high degree of length stability. For the upper cascade Sky Paragliders use ELDERID 7850-080 lines. These lines are one millimeter in diameter; the core is manufactured out of “dyneema” and the outer sheath from polyester. The lower lines are manufactured out of 6843-200 and 6843-160 line series with 1,8 and 1,5 millimeter diameters. The core is made from “aramid” and the outer sheath is again polyester.

Risers - The risers are made from 25mm wide webbing, that is manufactured by supplier MOUKA TIŠNOV. The suspension lines are connected to the risers by means of quick links (Maillons); these come from the French supplier Maillon Rapide.
