Advance EPSILON DLS: Discover Your Potential
The Advance EPSILON DLS marks the 10th generation of one of the most successful intermediate paragliders ever built. Now featuring Advance’s Durable Lightweight Structure (DLS), it bridges the gap between a standard and a lightweight wing perfectly. Whether you are transitioning from your first wing to cross-country (XC) flying or you're an experienced pilot looking for a compact "hike-to-fly" setup, the Epsilon DLS delivers a smooth, intuitive, and safety-focused experience without compromising on longevity.
Key Performance Features
- Intuitive & Dampened Handling: The redesigned canopy tension provides clear but calm feedback, absorbing turbulence and offering superior directional and roll stability. It is specifically tuned to make flying in active air feel relaxed and manageable.
- Durable Lightweight Structure (DLS): Starting at just 3.45kg, the Epsilon DLS is up to 850g lighter than previous versions. Unlike ultra-light wings, it uses an intelligent material mix to ensure it remains 100% suitable for everyday use and intensive ground handling.
- The Perfect Next Step: Positioned as a "basic intermediate," it is the natural progression for pilots moving up from an ALPHA. It provides the extra performance needed for long-distance flights while maintaining a high safety margin.
- Hike-to-Fly Versatility: Thanks to its small packing volume and light weight, the Epsilon DLS fits perfectly into light reversible harnesses like the EASINESS 4 or BOUNDLESS, making it an ideal travel companion.
- State-of-the-Art Materials: Utilizing a mix of Skytex 38 and Skytex 27, along with high-quality unsheathed ProDry lines, the wing offers exceptional strength, water repellency, and length stability.
- Seamless Weight Ranges: Designed with no gaps between sizes, the Epsilon DLS ensures every pilot can find their ideal wing loading for the best balance of speed and climb performance.
- Optional Light Risers: Pilots looking to save an additional 180g can choose the optional light risers, which feature softlinks and ceramic rings instead of traditional quicklinks and pulleys.
