Yeti Mountain Wing - 500g lighter, tons more fun!

Updated with new-generation technology, the Yeti has even better launch characteristics and into-wind glide. On Manaslu at 8000m or on a weekend hike with friends in your local mountains, you need a wing that makes flying as easy and enjoyable as it could possibly be: the Yeti.

With a new lighter internal construction and modern leading edge with plastic reinforcements, there is less weight to carry and the wing is even more compact. But perhaps even better is the way the new Yeti flies. Inflation, take-off, handling, speed, glide ratio and into-wind performance have all been improved. 

The Yeti is available in 6 sizes (catering for a huge weight range of 50-120kg weight in flight). The 19m2 weighs only 2.5kg and can be used either by light pilots or by suitably experienced pilots as a top-performing mini-glider. 

Despite the light weight, the Yeti is a true paraglider. The weight reductions achieved in this generation have led to an even better feeling in thermals and performance on glide, especially into a headwind. It’s so good that you probably won't even need an “XC wing”.

Now in its 3rd generation, the Yeti has been a reference glider in its class since 2004. In extreme conditions, it’s a wing you can trust, and in more leisurely situations it’s pure fun.

Details

• Over 500g lighter* than the Yeti 08, already one of the lightest gliders in its class
• Lighter leading edge with plastic reinforcements
• Lighter internal construction with more cross-ports
• Wide range of 6 sizes, for weights of 50kg to 120kg
• Only 2.5kg for the 19m2 size - probably the lightest glider on the market relative to its performance
• Loops on top surface to attach snow tabs to hold the wing in place on steep snow-covered slopes
• Dedicated manufacturing process: reduced seam allowance saves weight and each wing is made by a single person
