Wind's Riders Unisex Thermik Light Jacket

Paragliding down jacket, warm and light

A lightweight, compact, warm pure down jacket specially designed for paragliding, mountain and gliding sports.
Down has excellent loft for warmth and comfort.

What we like :

• Value for money.
• Good insulation/weight ratio.
• Thumb loops.
• Low-cut loins.
• The intermediate size of the shells: neither too small (many seams and therefore thermal bridges), nor too large (less uniform down distribution).
• Ample, adjustable and comfortable hood, allowing you to wear a helmet with ease.
• Large, zippered pockets.
• All zips feature large pull-cords (cord + rubber) for gloved operation.
• Comes with a lightweight (35g) compression bag with a flap and 3 compression straps.

Side trouser clips on belt loops prevent back exposure during flight

Technical features :

• Jacket 90% goose or duck down and 10% feathers (600Cuin EU. 700Cuin US)
• Straight cut, unisex
• Made of windproof ultralight nylon.
• 3 outside zippered pockets
• 1 inside zippered pocket
• Extended sleeves for hands-up paragliding without uncovering the wrist
• thumb loop for wrist protection

• 2 waist loops to attach the jacket to your pants to avoid uncovering the loins when flying hands-up.

The large, adjustable, comfortable hood can be worn over the helmet.

Yassen Savov, European Paragliding Champion 2012, Bulgarian pilot emeritus, flies with a down jacket... Windsriders! Well done, Yassen, and happy flying!
An ideal garment for the off-season, or as the ultimate outer layer.

Highly appreciated for its lightness, comfort and soft warmth.

It's a drop in the ocean of things to do, but it's a start. Every item purchased on this site helps finance 2 homes for underprivileged children in Nepal.
