Looking to buy used (second hand) equipment for freeflight? Flybubble generally have a wide range of used paragliding, paramotoring, speed flying and hang gliding kit available in stock.
On the paragliding, paramotoring and speed flying side, Flybubble usually have an extensive stock of used wings, harnesses, reserves, instruments and accessories ready to buy and fly. For hang gliding we sometimes have reserves, instruments and accessories in stock which are suitable for hang glider pilots.
Most of this used kit comes from the excellent part-exchange deals Flybubble offer for new equipment purchases. We also occasionally sell on staff equipment, wings from our extensive demo fleet, and equipment used for testing and review purposes. The condition of the equipment ranges all the way from as-new kit to low-cost gear that's already seen a good amount of use.
Listings generally include info about item condition, details, service info and what's included. We always try to be very honest about the condition of each item listed. We want our customers to be pleasantly surprised by the equipment they receive from us! Read customer feedback about their experiences with us.
Used Wings (Second Hand)
Flybubble usually have a wide range of used (second hand) paragliding wings in stock, catering for all levels of paraglider pilot. From first-time buyers to cross-country (XC) hounds, and all the way up to competition skygods!
Flybubble also generally have a good selection of different types of wing to suit most pilot's particular needs, for example:
- Lightweight paragliders for hike-and-fly adventures;
- Mini wings for soaring in stronger winds;
- Speed wings for haring down mountain slopes;
- Acro paragliders for wing-wanging around;
- Tandem paragliders for flying your friends; and
- Paramotoring wings for powered paragliding (PPG).
All of the used wings which Flybubble sell have been professionally serviced, and come with a pro service report, unless they are very new with very low usage and airtime. Some of the wings we sell have Flybubble logos on them. See individual listings for details.
All wings are sold as airworthy, unless specifically marked otherwise i.e. ground handling only wings (see below).

Used Harnesses (Second Hand)
Flybubble's second hand paragliding harness stock can vary quite a bit, often including harnesses suitable for all manner of paraglider pilot, depending on current stock. From entry level harnesses, suitable for first-time buyers, to cross country and competition harnesses designed for experienced pilots. From standard sit-up harnesses to supine pod harnesses (with speedbag). Flybubble also sometimes have:
- Lightweight mountain harnesses for hike & fly excursions;
- Reversible harnesses (harness and rucksack in one) to save the weight of a separate rucksack;
- Tandem pilot and passenger harnesses, and kids harnesses, for sharing the fun;
- Acro harnesses, for suitably-experienced aerobatic pilots.
Flybubble check over all harnesses before adding them to the Flybubble Online Shop, and we do our best to give a fair and honest description of their condition, and damage/repairs etc. We list make, model and size, what type of reserve container and protection they have (if any), and what's included with the harness (e.g. reserve handle, karabiners). See individual listings for details.
All harnesses are sold as airworthy, unless specifically marked otherwise i.e. ground handling only harnesses (see below).
NB: If you buy a harness and reserve from us then we can fit the reserve into the harness for you, if you'd like us to. You may need to buy some accessories for this e.g. suitable reserve bridles and maillons.

Used Reserves (Second Hand)
Flybubble often have second hand reserves available to buy for paragliding and paramotoring - and occasionally for hang gliding too - be they round, square, hybrid or Rogallo type. However these don't tend to be available long, as good second hand reserves usually come and go quickly!
All of the second hand reserves which Flybubble sell have usually been professionally repacked, are of course deemed fit for further use, and come with a pro reserve repack sheet. See individual listings for details.
NB: If you buy a harness and reserve from us then we can fit the reserve into the harness for you, if you'd like us to. You may need to buy some accessories for this e.g. suitable reserve bridles and maillons.

Used Instruments (Second Hand)
Flybubble's stock of second hand flight instruments and electronics tends to vary a lot as they tend to get sold very quickly. They are often sold within hours, or even minutes of being listed!
Depending on the individual model, these can be suitable for paragliding, paramotoring and hang gliding. Current stock can include simple variometers (varios), altimeter-variometers (alti-varios), global positioning systems (GPS), combination alti-vario-GPS, and, more occasionally, handheld transceivers (radios).
Flybubble check over all instruments and electronics before adding them to our site and do our best to give a fair and honest description of their condition, and damage/repairs etc. It's not practical for us to test fly used instruments and electronics, however we do switch them on and test them indoors. We list the make and model, and what's included (e.g. charger, battery). See individual listings for details.

Flybubble usually have a variety of accessories for paragliding and paramotoring including paraglider rucksacks, fast packing bags, concertina bags, flying helmets, paraglider compression straps, paraglider speed systems, flying suits etc.

Ground Handling Only Wings & Harnesses
Many pilots have found it very useful to have an old wing and harness to practice their ground handling skills with, saving wear and tear on their flying equipment. Flybubble sometimes have some suitable old 'Ground Handling Only' wings and harnesses which are ideal for this, generally acquired from pilots who've found that their equipment is no longer airworthy.
See if we currently have stock of ground-handling-only wings or harnesses.
