Find all our windsocks designed for paragliding and aerial sports in this category. Windsocks, also known as wind cones or wind sleeves, are visual indicators used for measuring wind speed and direction. They are placed outdoors and made of lightweight, durable fabric to withstand various weather conditions. To ensure visibility and optimal wind capture, they are mounted on top of a mast.

The Paragliding Windsock

In paragliding, the windsock is crucial. They are generally found at every takeoff and landing site. They allow paragliders to determine the wind direction and strength at a glance. Simply observe the windsock, which always points in the wind's direction.

This information is vital for any paraglider. Every takeoff and landing should ideally be performed into the wind. Therefore, paragliders should position themselves facing the windsock's tip.

These visual tools help pilots ensure their safety during these critical phases.

The Windsock as an Accessory

Once limited to red and white designs, windsocks are now available in various styles and designs. More than just tools, they have become ornamental pieces for landing and takeoff areas and paragliding clubs.

Many paragliding specialists now offer branded windsocks. Discover various designs on our Air et Aventure shop.
