🏔️Nova Doubleskin Key Features

🪶 Ultralight Yet Durable

At just 2.1 kg, the Nova Doubleskin uses Skytex 27 double-sided fabric—balancing featherlight weight with surprising durability.

🧘 EN-A Safety with Real Performance

Despite its low weight, the Doubleskin delivers the safety and passive stability of a school glider, while offering responsive handling for alpine conditions.

🧳 Pack Small, Hike Far

It compresses down into an incredibly small volume, making it easy to carry during long hikes or steep summit pushes.

🛫 Launch Anywhere

Even in tight, alpine spots or zero-wind conditions, the Doubleskin inflates smoothly and easily—a huge advantage on technical takeoffs.

Launch, Flight & Landing Behavior

🪁 Take-Off

Even in zero wind, the Doubleskin inflates easily. Its short lines and low weight allow precise, confident ground handling in tight alpine spaces.

✈️ Flight Characteristics

Once airborne, the wing feels smooth, predictable, and slightly dynamic for an EN-A. It’s efficient for short thermals, glide transitions, and ridge lifts.

🛬 Landing

Because it retains energy well, it allows effective flaring in short zones. Pilots can top-land or slope-land with good control even in light wind.

💡 Nova Doubleskin FAQ

Can beginners fly the Doubleskin?

Yes. It’s certified EN-A and behaves predictably—but only if the pilot understands basic takeoff/landing in alpine environments.

What’s the best size for me?

It depends on your all-up weight and intended wing loading. Contact us for personalized advice before you order.

Is it durable enough for travel?

Yes. While ultralight, the Skytex 27 double-coated fabric is more resistant to abrasion and UV than expected for its weight class.
