Why not consider Superlight?

By far the greatest weight saving can be made by using a lighter envelope fabric. For the same price as our regular ripstop, the weight of your balloon can be up to 30% depending on the type and size of balloon required. 

Other specifications like flat-webbing tapes, 3mm diameter flying wires and lightweight crown-line will all compliment your choice.

Why not include Kevron load tapes? they are immensely strong and very light weight, offering a further 4% reduction in weight from our standard envelopes. These 'tapes' are encapsulated within the seams, to protect them from damaging UV rays.

• Choice of deflation systems - RDS (Rapid Deflation System), ParaPlus or Standard Parachute.
• Single, twin turning vents available.
• Lightweight polyester loadtapes available.
• Kevron loadtapes available. A Kevron loadtape consists of woven Aramid fibre webbing encased in fabric sheath which replaces the conventional polyester or nylon tape for weight advantage.
• Kevlar flying cables are a lightweight option to be considered in place of stainless steel flying wires.
• Shaped banners with or without artwork are available, tailor-made to hug your balloon envelope’s surface.

Introducing ParaPlus deflation.

• This is a two-line control system for more controlled venting in Racers and Sport envelopes.
• It can also be held in place during fast ascents and turbulence, comforting when flying in the Alps.
• The system offers a much lighter venting action.
• Finally, the second line can be used to adjust the parachute position. The rigging and pressure in the envelope re-seal the parachute to a satisfactory level, however, due to the very light action, the additional line offers our pilots a fail-safe tidy.
