Light, Original, Versatile and Easy, it’s an accessible mountain wing with our innovative parakite mode option.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"informations_text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KISS 2 is a versatile and confidence-inspiring lightweight mountain glider that’s really fun to fly. Its stability, easy inflation and wide speed range tames even tricky mountains and changing conditions. Impeccable slow-speed behaviour and flare mean landings will be gentle even when the terrain is not.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt comes ready to fly in paraglider (PG) mode with clean, simple risers and standard brakes and speed system. Switching to parakite (PK) mode is quick and straightforward, giving access to the full speed range through the brakes rather than a speed bar. Hands up in PK mode is equivalent to applying full speed bar. With its moderate top speed, the KISS 2 offers an accessible introduction to parakiting and expands your flying options in stronger winds, even with crampons or skis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe KISS 2 comes with a lightweight roll-top packing bag and packs down into a neat compact package. It fits easily into a Scout rucksack leaving plenty of room for the rest of your alpine kit. You can slip it in your hand luggage for airline travel making it a great travel wing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCertification note: EN\/LTF certification applies only in PG mode. The load tests apply in both PG and PK configurations. Our test pilots have carried out collapse testing in PK mode, but because certification manoeuvres cannot be performed with parakite risers, the official EN\/LTF certification applies only to paraglider mode.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-responsive\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-sm table-option-border-bottom col_size_5\" cols=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\" class=\"libelle\"\u003e \u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003e13\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003e16\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003e19\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003e22\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLinear scaling factor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.17\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProjected area (m²)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlat area (m²)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGlider weight (kg)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNumber of main lines (A\/B\/C)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"4\"\u003e3\/4\/3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCells\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"4\"\u003e34\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlat aspect ratio\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"4\"\u003e4.7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRoot chord (m)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlat span (m)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eCertified weight range (kg)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50-85\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50-95\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-95\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCertification (EN\/LTF)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eC*\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA\/B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA*\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"4\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e* pending certification\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v1wH6nUzRZ4?si=KniJrfyWM-Nx3Fbh\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigner's notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KISS 2's PG-PK risers let you switch between two flying styles in moments. In light conditions you can soar and thermal in conventional paraglider mode; if the wind increases, switch to PK mode and keep flying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTyr recently travelled with the 16m² in Iceland, carrying it in hand luggage with a lightweight harness. He said: “In light conditions I thermalled and soared in PG mode, and when it became windy I switched to PK mode. The KISS 2 allowed me to fly in conditions I would not have been able to with a normal paraglider.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe PK mode is designed to extend your flying opportunities. Flying in PK mode requires a different set of piloting reflexes from conventional paragliding. We recommend becoming familiar with the system gradually, starting in controlled conditions and allowing time to develop the appropriate responses. We recommend using PK mode primarily in smooth, predictable and laminar conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe KISS 2 is exceptionally light and packable. We chose D10 fabric for its very low weight, but it needs to be treated with care. Avoid dragging the wing over rough surfaces or exposing it to unnecessary abrasion. Treat the KISS 2 with care and respect its lightweight construction, and it will give you many years of flying enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BGD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49153223131236,"sku":null,"price":2799.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0163\/2655\/7796\/files\/bgd-kiss-2-bp.webp?v=1788524476","url":"https:\/\/sickandwrong.co.uk\/products\/bgd-kiss-2","provider":"The Sick And The Wrong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
