The new easy glider in Gin's range, the Bolero Plus, is ready! Medium and Large sizes have just been homologated DHV Class 1; Small is in certification process; X-Small and X-Large will follow soon.

 

Easy to Fly

Gin's principle design consideration was to give pilots discovering paragliding a glider which is easy to fly, comfortable and of course, extremely safe.

 

Craftmanship and Dedication...

Gin has dedicated one and a half years to developing this amazing new wing, and has flown hundreds of hours with prototypes until he was satisfied it was absolutely right, as he imagined it.

 
Differences
bulletan easier take off with lighter inflation.

bulletmore precision in turns and a more 'compact' feeling wing : more efficient in thermals.
bulletcanopy adjustment for a fine shape.
bullet3 main "A" lines
bulleta new fabric finish E85A for the Porcher New Skytex fabric, which offers greater performance and durability, and also reduces fabric weight, improving launch, security and re-inflation.

The Bolero looks fantastic with a clean distinctive shape and wrinkle free surfaces. Good design, attention to detail and trimming of each glider combined with the best materials ensure that quality stands out, you will be proud to own a Gin Glider. The handling qualities of the Bolero both on the ground and in the air have been finely tuned to make flight both safe and easy while retaining Gin's high standards of feel and responsiveness. Above all the Bolero is great fun to fly, whether on a sled ride to the landing area or a soaring cross country flight.
