🪶Because nobody likes to walk with a heavy rucksack, our gear is ..."Light but durable!" This is the motto we hear the most in our hallways as we apply it for all our products: single and double surface gliders, harnesses, accessories and rucksacks.

🏃‍♀️🏔⛺️ Whether you want to embark on a trail-and-fly run, an alpine route or a bivy adventure, we have the right rucksack for you!

At first, it was just a new business venture, but soon I felt like a part of this family—a family where commitment, loyalty, and mutual respect stood above business. I am proud to be welcomed into this family, and flying with AirDesign is truly an honor.”

“I’m grateful that there’s a manufacturer building properly sized XXS wings. I’m especially happy that there’s finally a high-performance option with the Hero 2 after some frustrating experiences with ‘XXS’ wings from other manufacturers.”

Thank you, Moritz, for sharing your experience and trusting AirDesign for your adventures. Here’s to wings that truly fit and take us higher! 🪂✨

The specifications for The Sock were as long as top model legs but we wanted a harness as simple as flip-flops. Sticking to our philosophy, The Sock is light, comfy and robust.
The inflatable protector provides the best ratio shock absorption / volume. Plus, its storage capacity is huge with multiple storage options easily accessible. To sum it up, instead of making a superlight harness you can sometimes use for XC, we preferred making a comfortable XC harness you can also use for hike & fly and bivy. That’s The Sock!

«Another day to remember! A trip from San Martin de los Andes, over 7 lakes and Paso Cordoba shared with my flying buddies »

On board his The Sock Superlight harness and his Volt 5 #speedmachine, our team pilot @pabloponto rocked the skies of Patagonia on December 14th.

« The season started late for us. There was a lot of wind and bad weather in general. But luckily I was able to spot the right window. Flying is always nice, but cruising above these Patagonian landscapes at good altitude is incredible. From the same position, you could see the Domuyo, Llaima, Lanín, Villarica, Mocho, Puyehue, Casablanca, Osorno, Puntiagudo, and Tronador volcanoes, among many other things...and the lakes! The view was stunning! The final glide at sunset, after almost 7 hours of flight, from Chapelco Grande with plenty of altitude and the sun setting behind Lake Lacar... was truly epic»

Congratulations Pablo for this awesome flight!
We wish you a beautiful season in the Southern Hemisphere!

We are about to close the 2024 chapter!
Despite the unpredictable weather, this year has treated us to an exceptional autumn and brought its share of success. We're definitely happy to have launched the Volt 5, the second generation of EN-C two-liner. We are proud to be back on the EN-D segment with the Hero 2 #reborn. Not to mention the smiles of the Rise 5 & Soar 2 pilots that fill our hearts up. We are also delighted to see so many Le Slip and The Sock harnesses worn on takeoffs.
What about 2025? From a hike-and-fly on your local hill to your first crossing of the Alps range, we will stay on your side to help you to… #breakyourownrules
Happy new year!

🏔🪂🛸 Climb & Fly at the Mont-Blanc du Tacul by @jakeholland.co.uk

“Together with @lukedavies_outdoors & Ali Swinton, we climbed the rarely visited west face of the Tacul on the Goulotte Afanassieff - Bodin.
The approach consists of crossing the North face of Tacul up to about 3760 m.
The atmosphere is wild, tacking among the seracs. The gully is magnificent and the route was in great condition. The icing on the cake was for Luke and I to fly down with the UFO-Bi. A great toy for getting you and your friends off the mountain”

UFO-Bi #notalone
Easy take-off, light (2.8 kg) and so compact, offering easy handling & the ability to land smoothly: our single-surface tandem is a must-have for your mountain adventures as a duo!
