CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS
This glider is made from an excellent tear resistant Ripstop Nylon
fabric, which is P.U. coated to zero porosity and then siliconized
to give a
high resistance to the elements.
Different fabrics are used for the
top, bottom and ribs, due to their different functions.
The lines are
made of Superaramid covered with a polyester sheath for protection
against UV, wear and abrasion.
The bottom section of the brake lines
is made of polyester because of its better mechanical properties.
The D shackles that attach the lines to the risers are made of
stainless steel.
