The Ultra-X canopy material features an innovative, ultra-lightweight 3-layer laminate construction.
This durable design utilises a woven base layer, enhanced with an ultra-light PE mesh to carry the primary load, and is fused together with a low-stretch 0.25 mm film. This cutting-edge material is 4 times more durable than traditional woven canopies, ensuring exceptional performance and prolonged product lifespan – with no added weight.
Exclusive to FreeWing
86 gsm and 4 times more durable than the woven canopy.
The outer lightweight woven layer offers the first level of durability through abrasion and puncture resistance. This is further enhanced by the unique ultra PE grid which supports the primary load and deals with shock loading, absorbing any blunt impact. The lightweight film ensures long term stability of the fabric, with all three layers achieving the same weight of a traditional single layer canopy.
The key to the low stretch is the high-performance lightweight PE film layer.
This layer sits on the inside of the wing, ensuring that it is protected from abrasion by the outer woven layer, ensuring the best combination of low stretch and long term durability.
An additional benefit of the extremely low stretch is the incredible responsiveness.
Riders inputs are translated to immediate responses in the rig, delivering that crisp on demand performance.
