Typical skyman

The paragliders from SKYMAN are primarily intended for hike & fly and are therefore designed to be particularly light. The focus is on low weight and small pack size with the greatest possible safety. Therefore, there are also some single skin gliders in the range.

SKYMAN paragliders are available in different colors and designs. It depends on the model. The color variants are shown on the detail page of each paraglider.

No, absolutely not. Safety has the highest priority in the design of SKYMAN gliders, which are therefore (almost) all certified according to LTF/EN classes A to C. Rather, careful attention is paid to the choice of materials: light, safe and stable!

The advantage is the low weight, which ideally completes the hike & fly equipment. We rely on the cross cap, which opens very quickly and is particularly pendulum stable.

The ultra-light parachute Ultra Cross is available in 5 different sizes: from the rescue parachute for lightweights to the tandem rescue parachute. Details on the page rescue parachutes.

SKYMAN offers a whole range of different lightweight harnesses – from cocoon to ultralight – mainly for hike & fly. The following applies to all of them: they are EN/LTF certified and thus meet the necessary safety requirements. So it only depends on the pilot's wishes.

The lightweight harnesses from SKYMAN offer surprisingly high seating comfort for their low weight, but are of course not comparable with classic harnesses that shine with material abundance and are ergonomically shaped. Our tip: Just try them out!

No, not all harnesses are reversible harnesses. Our harness X-Alps is a cocoon harness with foam protector and airbag, the String & String RS is available as a reversible harness as well as classic.

The paraglider brand SKYMAN was created by the founder and designer Markus Gründhammer. It is also he who is silhouetted in the logo and in every glider. His passion – besides flying – is photography, for which he is always conquering new flying mountains.

SKYMAN primarily develops lightweight paragliders that shine with their sophisticated choice of materials, high-quality workmanship and slimline design with an extremely low weight. And yet the gliders are certified according to LTF/EN and thus safe and reliable.

SKYMAN's gliders are certified in LTF/EN classes A to C and can therefore be flown by anyone. However, there are also models without classification, which are intended only for very experienced pilots. The classification is indicated with each glider.

For the operation of paragliders including harnesses, type testing is mandatory in Germany. For this activity, the DHV type testing center is accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17020:20112.

The classification is determined by test pilots during various flight maneuvers. During these tests, the flight characteristics of the glider are checked, such as the pitch stability when leaving accelerated flight or the glider behavior when leaving a fully developed spiral dive. The results are summarized in a certificate and can be viewed for each of the SKYMAN gliders.
