WHATS NEW IN THE MATERIALS OF THE VISTA V?
Without compromising on durability or safety, the Vista V is made from carefully chosen materials, to reduce weight. The top surface L/E remains the same bombproof apco cloths, while areas that do not suffer from use / wear and tear, such as the bottom surface, are now much lighter. This translates into better launch, handling and safety characteristics.
Material | Diameter [mm] | Strength [kg] | |
---|---|---|---|
Top, Mid | Superaramide | 1.2 | 120 |
Bottom A, B, C | Superaramide | 1.9 | 320 |
Bottom St | Superaramide | 1.5 | 150 |
Brake top, St top | Dyneema | 1.1 | 95 |
Brake bottom | Polyester | 2.0 | 85 |
Sail Cloth – Top | 42 gr/m2 “Zero Porosity” Ripstop Nylon |
Sail Cloth – Bottom | 27gr Skytex |
Rib Cloth | 27gr Skytex (Hard) |
Rib Reinforcement | FLEXON® batten system |
Warranty | 3 years / 250 Hours |
The glider is made from tear resistant Ripstop Nylon cloth, which is P.U. coated to zero porosity and then siliconized to give the fabric high resistance to the elements. Different cloth is used for the top, bottom and ribs due to their different functions.
The lines are made of superaramid covered with a polyester sheath for protection against UV, wear and abrasion. The bottom section of the brake lines is made of Polyester because of its better mechanical properties. The Karabiners/rectangular loops that attach the lines to the risers are made of stainless steel.
