Thank you for choosing ADVANCE. We are 

one of the worldwide leading paraglider 
manufacturers, based in Switzerland. 

Since 1988 we have consistently followed 

our own plans and ideas for both develop-
ment and production.

The PROGRESS 3 combines robust build, 

compact shape and reduced weight. The 
use of an innovative Air-Foam Hybrid-

Protector is mainly responsible for the 
weight saving. It is lighter than a conven-
tional foam protector, but provides the 

same comprehensive level of protection. 
Enhanced Leg Pads and an ergonomic 

body-conforming seat surface ensures 
maximum comfort in flight.

We hope that the PROGRESS 3 will bring 
you many enjoyable hours in the air.

Welcome to ADVANCE

This guide gives you a brief look at using 
the PROGRESS 3, but it does not replace 
the manual which you can download from 

www.advance.ch/progress.
