Ozone Addict Paraglider

Some tables, some simple graphics and a great pic of the Ozone Addict!

Like a bit of arm-chair paragliding? Among these paragliding DVDs from Amazon there's a couple that have copped a bad review, but could still be worth a look. A few are very recent, having been released in 2010.

An Ozone Addict returning to Terra Firma. Reminds me of an old old guy who hated flying, who said 'I like to keep my feet on Terra Firma - the more Firma, the less Terra'. ;-)

Color Schemes

The simple graphics below represent the available color schemes for the Ozone Addict. 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. You might be able to get a detailed look at one of the color schemes from the manufacturer's picture further down this page. As far as I know, the underside of each design is all-white.



blue, gray-white-black leading edge




red, gray-white-black leading edge




green, gray-white-black leading edge




orange, gray-white-black leading edge




yellow, gray-white-black leading edge
