use or misuse of this product.

The SERAK is a DHV 1-2 glider that offers
total security with beautiful handling & perfor-
mance. The performance is very high due to a
well-defined structure with 52 cells, with an
internal structure comprised of diagonals of dif-
ferent types, depending on the width of the cell
and an optimized line layout to reduce the ove-
rall number of lines.
--cloth
The upper and lower panels are made with 44
gr. Porcher Marine Skytex nylon. The ribs are made with stronger nylon of to prevent airo-
foil deformation, even after several years of intensive use. Rib (cell wall) reinforcements
are made of Dacron 310 &180 gr. Line attachment points are made of polyester.
--lines
The lines are made of Kevlar covered with polyester sheath for protection against wear,
UV and abrasion. The lower section of the brake lines is made from Dyneema. This mate-
rial is less prone to failure after repeated use through the brake pulleys. The riser kara-
biners, also called, are made with stainless steel of 800 Dan. Risers are made of pre-stret-
ched polyester of 900 Dan.
