The Fresh Breeze Silex

The Silex True Air Speed paraglider has been specially designed for paramotoring, and is ideal for regular training usage. The aim of construction was to design a powerful, fast and safe paraglider with easy handling. We are able to offer you a complete system licenced by the German Association of ultra light flyers (DULV) which fulfils all necessary standards of a modern paraglider.
Because of the emphasis placed on safety at Fresh Breeze, we have incorporated the following features into the Silex True Air Speed paraglider: Easy inflation and lift properties, Minimal tendency for "ground-hugging" during take-off, Near-zero level of negative turning or overturning and Self-stabilization of the canopy in cases of failure - even without the pilot's help. The Silex is a very efficient canopy: you can easily continue flying with the motor switched off, or you can interrupt your flight without any problems.
The paraglider also features a shortened harness system which makes "Big Ears" and B-stalling possible. The Silex can accommodate a maximum starting weight of up to 140kg. In addition to that trimmers can be used to increase speed considerably and to compensate for the torque of the motor.
The Silex is a special motor-paraglider, designed with safety in mind. The Silex inflates easily and quickly and does not hang back. A light pull on the risers will get the Glider overhead with little effort.
The Silex is very efficient and has a good glide ratio. The best features are high top end speed, light brake pressure, easy turning with high roll rate and high internal pressure to resist tucks.
The Silex is suited for intermediate and advanced pilots with reasonable air time under there belt.
Now manufactured form perseverance fabric, the highest quality available. With life expectancy approaching 600 hours!
The Silex is available up to a maximum of 308 lb take-off weight. The Silex is safety certified by DULV (German Ultralight Organization).
Includes unique combination backpack/stuffsack, inner bag, cinch strap, speed bar and trimmers, owners manual. All with black and white checkerboard.
