THE MATERIALS
The BI BETA 3, like all ADVANCE products, is the result of the
latest developments and experience in the sport. All the materials
used for the paraglider have been carefully selected in order to
give our products an excellent longevity. The materials are syste-
matically tested and all canopies undergo quality control testing.
The lifetime of a wing may vary according to the care given to the
utilisation and maintenance.
