Top Gun Flight School

At iParaglide Top Gun Flight School, we take pride in having taught over 1900 paragliding students in our 26 years of operation.

We are the the longest running school based in Metro Vancouver. Due to our central location, we are the only school that flies all of the relevant kiting parks, training hills and mountains within a 3 hour radius of Vancouver.  This empowers pilots to get to know the key training and flying spots early, optimizes and accelerates learning, and allows them to grow into great future pilots.  

We have the reputation of being an industry leader with an emphasis on engineered safety systems, quality instruction, the finest equipment and a positive learning environment for fun and empowering flying.

We offer the highest level of accreditation, with Senior HPAC and Advanced USHPA paragliding instructors, who coach from first flight to expert paraglider pilots and teach and qualify new paragliding instructors.

ICARO Energy SP Harness

Energy SP Harness ($1,200 CAD / $950 USD ) Purchase Inquiry 

 

Due to the innovative new built in spiral compression spring, the airbag is already completely inflated and ready to use before launch! This ensures airbag protection at the outset, even when reverse launching without 100% airflow, which is normally required for other paragliding airbag harnesses.

The padding, the seat board and the shoulder straps were optimised for a perfect fit. This harmonic interplay guarantees a comfortable, stress-free seated position, especially when flying during extensive thermal and cross country distance flights.

 

The ICARO Energy SP paragliding harness offers a slot for a Camel bag which is easily accessible during the flight through a built in access port for the drinking tube.

 

 

 

 

High Quality lightweight t-lock buckles complete the pacakge.  

 

 

Thanks to the low weight, the harness is a perfect companion for Hike & Fly adventures.
