Ozone Alpina 5

Ozone Alpina 5 Paraglider

Description

Discover the Ozone Alpina 5, the ultimate lightweight EN C paraglider for intermediate to advanced pilots. Drawing on the 2-line technology of the Delta 5, this 5th generation wing excels in XC (cross-country) performance while offering exceptional comfort and ease of use. Designed for bivouac adventures in remote terrains, the Alpina 5 combines playful agility, stability in turbulence, and efficiency at full speed. With an optimized lightweight internal structure and high-end materials, it weighs up to 1 kg less than its predecessors while being tested at 8G for enhanced safety. Ideal for pilots with 50-100 flight hours per year and SIV experience, it provides high passive safety and precise control through Ozone Active Control risers, inherited from the Mantra series.
