Product Details
The Concertina Compress Bag is ideal for hike-n-fly or travel, designed to be extremely lightweight at only 200g. The unique new folding and compression system not only helps to save packing space in your rucksack but works to improve the rigidity of the rucksack for a better hiking experience.
Please note that the Concertina Compress Bag is not intended for glider storage; high performance gliders in particular may be damaged if compressed excessively.
Choose the right size
Flybubble note: To choose the right size, check the wing’s max chord. For a looser fit, select a bag equal to or a bit longer than the chord. For a snug fit, choose a bag up to 40 cm shorter and fold the trailing edge in. Need help? Email us with your wing’s make, model, size, and max chord.

The Concertina Compress Bag also can be used with lightweight wings from other manufacturer. For example, it's been confirmed that the Advance Sigma 9 in size 25 (a semi-light wing without many wires weighing 4.9kg) fits easily in the 3m version.
The volume of the compress bag may be too small to be used with regular gliders. High performance gliders may be damaged if compressed depending on the pilots needs.
Large wings
Wings with a longer cord length than the compress bag can still be used. One extra step is needed to first fold the trailing edge to fit inside the bag.
Flybubble note: To help you choose the correct size and avoid mistakes, check the maximum chord of your wing—usually listed in the technical data—and choose a bag that's a bit longer. This gives you a better fit and makes packing easier. If you're unsure, feel free to contact us
