FAQ
Got any questions
UP was originally an acronym for Ultralight Products.
UV radiation is probably the biggest factor when it comes to the lifespan of a paraglider. So it's best not to leave your equipment in the sun unnecessarily. When carrying, you can reduce the stress on the material by making sure that the canopy does not drag across the ground. Sand and dust can act like sandpaper, so it helps to avoid them. Should you ever need to remove stains, please use only water and no cleaning agents/brushes. When it comes to storage, we recommend: dry, loosely packed, well ventilated and dark.
For standard services such as the 2-year check, performance check and reserve packing, we allow about two weeks – depending on the workshop's workload. For repairs, we will contact you individually, as the time required depends on the amount of work involved. As a general rule, if the processing time differs, we will contact you.
You can test our demo wings at test festivals, through an UP dealer near you and (should that not be an option) directly through us. For high-performance wings, we recommend stopping by one of the UP Performance Centers, where advice is tailored specifically to them. Note: The availability of demo wings may vary in some countries. The costs for (return) shipping are borne by the borrower; there is no rental fee. The loan period is usually limited to one week. If the desired model is not yet available in your country, please contact us.
