These flying suits are made with high quality genuine YKK zips, but all nylon zips will fail if not treated with care, care should be taken to pull the cloth together before opening or closing the zip, if cloth is caught in the zip it should be pulled out whilst unzipping without using force.

We will better comprehend the properties of the fibers we will examine below if we first apprehend two fundamental ideas:
a. The regain of a fiber sample, which is equal to the quotient of the water mass to its dry mass.
b. Heat, which is produced from a textile material during moisture absorption, is called heat of absorption (or differential heat of sorption). This is a positive characteristic of textiles, as they can make us feel warm. Unfortunately, when there is saturation of moisture in a textile material (it is absolutely soaked) then the heat of absorption decreases rapidly to zero.
• Polyester: Organic compounds category. In our case they are used for fiber production. Polyester presents very low regain. It absorbs very little water from the air, and as a result it is very easy to dry. At the same time it doesn't absorb heat from our body to evaporate water, so we don't feel cold. Even if snow sticks to this textile or if it has absorbed a large amount of water, both can be easily removed by simply shaking the cloth. This is due to its low absorption. The draw back of polyester at least in comparison to wool is that it has a low rate of absorption.
Polyester is very light in relation to the thermal insulation it provides. In addition, synthetic fibers are ideal for velour or the bulky form of Fleece or Pile because of their long length and their resistance to moisture. Polyester is the best synthetic material for these applications. Finally, the water repellent treatment, which is nothing more than a chemical treatment, although not permanent, increases the efficiency of water repellence, yet maintains breathability.
• Pile: Fabrics made from knitted fibers with a special refinement to provide bulk and thus warmth.
• Wool: First of all, wool has a very high rate of absorption and provides more warmth than polyester, even when wet. Its resistance to flexibility makes it different from other fibers. Wool fibers can flex 20,000 times without breaking, while cotton fibers can stand only 3,000 times. These are the reasons why wool fibers have been used for centuries as thermal insulation. It would be wrong to say that we shouldn't use wool, because not only is it aesthetically pleasing but it has many beneficial properties.
However, wool has two great disadvantages for paragliding:
a. Wool fabrics take a long time to dry because of the fiber construction and the enormous quantity of water they can absorb. This absorption will significantly increase the fabric's weight.
b. They are considered heavy, even when dry, in relation to polyester.
• Cotton and silk have a low rate of absorption. The only advantages of cotton are its increased resistance to friction up to 30% when wet and it has good breathability. On the other hand, it takes a long time to dry. Silk is a very good thermal insulator, but its resistance to friction decreases up to 30% when it is wet. In addition, it is very expensive.
• Fleece: Fabrics of a special knit and brushing process, that they provide warmth. First appeared in the 70s.
Berber Fleece - A polyester blend with a soft, drapey feel and natural look. Its lightweight characteristics and open weave make it a full-season fabric that is highly breathable.
E.C.O. Sport Fleece - (Environmentally Correct Origins) A warm, breathable blend of 87% recycled soda bottles (melted down and spun into yarn) and 13% virgin polyester. Maintains its insulation properties even when it's completely soaked. The latest generation of fleece retains all the performance characteristics of non-recycled fleece while being kind to the environment.
Micro Fleece - An incredibly soft yet technically advanced material that offers superior warmth without bulk and weight. Dries quickly, does not hold odor-causing bacteria and is pill-resistant. This material will become your best friend and is great for layering.
WindJammer Fleece - Double faced, no pill polyester fleece. Blocks up to 80% of the wind without lamination.
• Nylon is undesirable as it doesn't breathe enough to avoid soaking, although it has the lowest water absorption after polyester (4%).
Polyvinyl - Also known as Vinyl coated polyester, this is the same material used on truck tarps and climbing haul bags. We use a lighter version that is said to last 7-8 years outside. This is the most UV resistant fabric known and is manufactured by Critter.
Spectra Cordura - An unmistakable material with white Spectra ripstop reinforcements on black Cordura. Marathon Cordura - A rugged, air-textured nylon that's highly abrasion resistant and able to withstand the toughest conditions manufactured by DuPont. Coated with urethane on the inside.
Packcloth - An Oxford weave material that is tough, lightweight and easy to pack. Urethane and DWR (Durable Water Repellant) coating.
Cyclone Microfiber Nylon - A lightweight and durable nylon that offers a balance of water-repellency and breathability. Microfiber nylon achieves a superior performance due to the construction of the material without additional coatings or laminates.
Milestone Supplex - A 3-ply 100% Supplex nylon that is not only strong but still supple, with a cotton-like hand and DWR finish. It dries fast and resists abrasion. Ripstop - A woven fabric with small squares produced by extra threads. This will prevent tears from spreading.
