Features
Aerodynamic Rear Fairing
The ram pressure fairing inflates due to the incoming air and recombines the flow behind the pilot. This significantly improves drag and increases glide performance.
Front Rescue System with Cockpit
The cockpit provides space for a phone and a compact variometer, keeping them optimally in view alongside the rescue system. The V-line is safely attached to the shoulders, just like in conventional harnesses.
Hydration System Setup
The hydration bladder can be conveniently stored and secured in the back compartment. The drinking tube runs elegantly through an opening directly to the shoulder strap, allowing easy access to hydration without compromising comfort.
Cockpit Pouch
The cockpit pouch not only offers additional velcro for attaching more flight instruments, but also features a clever storage compartment with a cable outlet, ideal for your power bank. Additionally, there’s another compartment for smaller items like snacks, so you have everything you need during your flight at hand and well-organized. For secure stowing, it can be quickly detached.
Back- and Seat Storage Compartment
The spacious back compartment with a capacity of around 30 liters provides ample room to store your backpack. The asymmetrical zipper simplifies filling the storage compartment. The practical storage compartment under the seat shell offers ample space for lightweight items like extra clothing or inner packing sacks. For weight reduction, it can be removed.
Power Frame
The Power Frame distributes the forces homogeneously over the entire seat shell and provides optimal support without pressure points – high flying comfort is guaranteed!

PERMAIR 2.0
The further development of our first PERMAIR protector generation has a practical inflate/deflate check valve that makes the filling of your protector significantly easier. PERMAIR 2.0 protectors can also be inflated in several ways. In addition to the previously common variant with the inflation bag and compression function, you now have the option to fill your protector via the PERMAIR PUMP or in a minimalist way via the mouthpiece.
