Koala is a completely new project with an innovative design, which can satisfy since the tandem professional pilots until de occasional pilots that fly with their friends and family.

It’s a versatile paraglider that inspires confidence and allows the pilot and passenger enjoys the flight, with a pure pleasure of flying.

The Koala uses SOL technologies for performance and comfort:

PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY

• FHT - Full Hibrid Tecnology: a hybrid utilization of 3 types of fabric – combining durability and resistance and low deformation;

• LT - Laser Tecnology: Molds cut with Laser equipment.



COMFORTABLE TECHNOLOGY

Koala is a tandem paraglider class LTF 1-2 and requires skilled pilots for that.

The performance, comfort during the flight and easiness to fly make the difference among the tandem paragliders.

The efficiency and the accuracy are similar to a class 1-2 paraglider. Its maneuver allows flying the small thermals. It´s the excellent commitment between easiness to use and performance.

Koala is a new project, completely developed and simulated in computer, resulted from stability and performance tests. Its construction is very much detailed with 48 cells.

The Koala layout is new, longer, improving the performance and accuracy of the commands. The width diminishes from the middle towards the stabilizer. The room among the cell blocks remains the same due to a vectorial strap among the line straps. Three levels of lines were optimized to reduce drag and make it easy to handle.

• A risers split for 'big ears';
•4 cm serial Trimmers LTF certified;
•Diagonal Tabs to reduce lines and weight;
•Carbon Compound/Mylar reinforcements;
•Modern canopy cutting technique;
•Clean Layout.

All the materials used were carefully chosen, so guaranteeing a great durability and a high level of safety.

All SOL paragliders are manufactured in our own factory, certified by DHV.

• Great inflation and easy to handle in all conditions;
• Comfortable and accurate flying;
• Great performance in the thermals;
• Soft and progressive brake;
• Excellent landing characteristics;
• Emergency B-Stall;
• High resistance to closing;
• Little reactions in extreme conditions;
• Excellent passive security.
