7.
Fold up the glider along its length, with the
fi
rst fold below the leading edge reinforcements.
Pay particular care not to bend any of the rigid reinforcements!
8.
Fold the glider again. Then place the compression strap around the glider and fasten it by
pulling gently. Make sure that the glider is only loosely folded and is not bent or compressed
excessively.
Gin Gliders has a wide range of different rucksacks. Choose between lightweight hike 'n
fl
y or
indestructible classic models, available in various sizes to match your
fl
ying equipment.

The backpack type/size included in delivery depends on the paraglider model/size. Therefore, there
are different ways to pack the glider, depending on the personal preferences, the harness and the
equipment. The following method is recommended in order to minimise the bending of your
Boomerang 12 plastic rods: wrap your wing, packed in the Concertina bag, in a “U-Shape” around
your harness (including helmet and clothing) and put the complete package into the rucksack.
Packing the rucksack
A variation on the above method is to place the
fi
rst 50% (length) of the Concertina bag inside the
backpack and then put the harness on top of it. Fold the other 50% of the glider around the harness,
close the rucksack from the bottom and add additional equipment like helmet and clothing to the top
part of the rucksack between the 2 glider layers.
The tighter the rucksack is packed, the more comfortable it will be to carry. Gin Gliders offers a wide
variety of rucksack sizes and models. They are available as an optional extra for pilots that require it.
Even if your paraglider was completely dry when it was packed up after the
fi
nal
fl
ight of the season,
for long-term storage you should if possible take it out of the backpack and spread out the canopy a
little in a clean, dry place away from direct light. If you do not have the space to do this, then open the
backpack, internal bag and belt as much as possible and avoid compressing it. It must be stored at a
temperature between 10° and 25° C and in relative humidity between 50 and 75%. Make sure too that
the paraglider is not stored in a place where animals such as mice or cats could use it as a place to
sleep.
Do not store the paraglider near any chemicals. Petrol, for example, causes the material to
disintegrate and can cause considerable damage to your paraglider. When your equipment is in the
car boot, keep it as far away as possible from any spare petrol cans or oil containers.
