Some tables, some simple graphics and a great pic of the Ozone Mantra! Enjoy...
Spiraling down through some thin cloud cover, what an interesting overhead shot of the Mantra!

Ever Flown This Wing?
If so, feel free to share anything you like about the experience here. What were your first impressions?
Please state your experience level, just to put your comments in perspective.
For example, you might be a low-time pilot flying a new wing for the first time and loving it!

All the above were recorded when this Ozone paraglider was flown at max weight.
Color Schemes
The simple graphics below represent the available color schemes for the Ozone Mantra. 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.
white, with black and red pattern
