AIRDESIGN HERO 2

Description

Stephan Stiegler, Designer
“he Hero 2 opens a new chapter in the history of AirDesign. Innovative, it only shares the name and program with its predecessor. For the rest, the Hero 2 is a completely new 2-line construction benefiting from all our know-how acquired in recent years to make it a durable companion for distance hunters keen to keep a light rucksack. This is why we chose the hashtag #reborn and the claim “go big or go home”. Are you ready?”

“We are always looking for the best compromise between lightness and solidity. That’s why the Hero 2 has nose guard patches. Simple and easy, for a couple of tens of grams more only, the nose guard patches allow the use of a light fabric on the leading edge while making the latter more resistant than ever. In fact, the Dominico DOKDO-10DSF which offers excellent porosity over time is protected by a high abrasion resistant cloth along the leading edge rods. Quite clever, isn’t it?”

Construction & Features:

- - New nose guard patches on the leading edge: robustness is the key!
  - Delivered with 12mm aramid risers as standard. Superlight Dyneema risers available as an option (-110g)
  - Double-coated Dominico DOKDO-10DSF for top and bottom surfaces: durable Superlight construction
  - Full chord Nitinol rods to not only save weight and increase robustness, but also to ensure compact folding
  - Highly innovative inner construction to ensure longevity of performance. Our gliders are built to last, performance included.
