Windtech Tecno Paraglider
Specs, test data and other useful information on the Windtech Tecno. It seems a lot of people spell it 'Techno', but the manufacturer spells it without the h. Just look at the wingtip in the photo! Interested in reading up on the sport? Apart from one or 2 duds, there's a variety of great paragliding books at Amazon.
