Hike&Fly from the word “GO”
The world of Hike&Fly is expanding the boundaries of what paragliding is, and whom it is for. At Triple Seven we believe that this is a great thing, and we wish to make the ultimate mountain freedom available to even more people; by making our lightweight gliders super accessible, and also by introducing the D-light, an easy EN A wing made light (the S size weighs just 2.7kgs!!).
The new D-light inherits a lot of technology from its higher-rated brothers and sisters, meaning that even though it is an EN A wing, it is also a modern and advanced paraglider, capable of carrying its pilot on all sorts of exciting adventures. It is primarily designed for the lightweight-oriented beginner, but it is perfectly capable of much more than an evening fly-down from some Alpine peak.
Special light risers with speed system:
A lot of time and dedication went into the riser design; the new risers are not only light but also easier to use and handle that the classic lightweight Dyneema risers; with their flat, traditional look the new ones will feel more familiar to pilots worldwide. We were able to reduce the weight by 50% compared to “normal” risers, while retaining full strength.

Aljaz Valic:
“Me and my brother are really excited about the whole light-weight revolution. And we think that beginners should also have the opportunity to hike up a mountain, to fly down in the calm evening air, on a glider that will look after them and remain safe and enjoyable even on the rare day when the pilot misjudges the conditions a little due to inexperience. It follows that one of our design goals was to build a wing that has the ability to penetrate a head wind that is stronger than expected, so we made the D-light with an efficient and light speed system, among a lot of other things. With this new wing, the world of H&F is open to an even wider audience, and that has to be a good thing!”
