Color Schemes

The simple graphics below represent the available color schemes for the Mcc Borea 2. I hope this approach is useful for getting a good idea of the colors when quickly comparing wings. Most paragliders have a basic wing color plus something different adorning the leading edge.



yellow trailing edge, white, orange leading edge




white trailing edge, blue, orange leading edge




red trailing edge, white, blue leading edge




yellow trailing edge, gray, red leading edge




yellow trailing edge, gray, blue leading edge




A Good Book

Paragliding - A Pilot's Training Manual. Do you have at least a few hours of soaring experience under your belt? Keen to learn much more? This book will fill out your knowledge nicely. Just remember it doesn't take the place of your instructor!
