Conquer Every Peak with the NOVA DOUBLESKIN Paraglider
If you’re a pilot who lives for high-altitude adventures and minimalist travel, then the NOVA DOUBLESKIN paraglider was made just for you. Designed specifically for hike & fly purists, this ultralight glider doesn’t just perform well—it excels in places where performance and portability matter the most. As a result, it’s become a favorite among alpine adventurers and vol-biv explorers worldwide.
Ultralight Design, Maximum Versatility
Weighing as little as 2.1 kg, the NOVA DOUBLESKIN paraglider is one of the lightest wings in its class. However, it delivers far more than just low weight. With an EN-A certification, it offers beginner-friendly handling, yet experienced pilots will appreciate its dynamic, playful character. So, whether you’re launching from a tight alpine takeoff or gliding across your favorite ridge, the DOUBLESKIN keeps things smooth, safe, and fun.
Additionally, the lightweight fabric and smart internal structure reduce packing volume, making it perfect for multi-day trips and remote launches. Because of this, it easily fits in a compact rucksack without weighing you down.
Reliable Performance, Anywhere You Go With NOVA DOUBLESKIN paraglider
Despite its low weight, the NOVA DOUBLESKIN paraglider doesn’t cut corners when it comes to flight performance. In fact, its sleek profile and reduced line drag translate to an impressive glide ratio and easy thermaling. Moreover, the wing inflates quickly—even in no-wind conditions—making takeoffs from narrow, rugged launch sites feel effortless.
Furthermore, its handling is intuitive and precise, so you can maintain control in varying conditions without overcorrecting. And since its pitch stability remains strong, even in turbulence, you’ll feel confident no matter where you fly.
Built Tough for the Long Haul
Although it’s designed for lightweight performance, the DOUBLESKIN is far from fragile. For instance, NOVA’s use of high-strength, lightweight materials ensures a strong canopy that can handle regular use in challenging environments. Also, the reinforced leading edge adds durability during rocky takeoffs or brushy landings.
Because it balances strength and weight so well, you won’t need to baby this glider—just pack it, launch it, and go.
Who Is It For?
The NOVA DOUBLESKIN paraglider is ideal for seasoned hike & fly pilots, mountaineers, and anyone who values low weight and compact packing. Additionally, its ease of use makes it suitable for newer pilots looking to expand their adventures beyond the training hill. As a result, it offers one of the most versatile, lightweight flying experiences available today.
Also, paired with an ultralight harness and compact reserve system, it becomes the core of a top-tier minimalist flying setup.
To sum it all up, the NOVA DOUBLESKIN paraglider is not just another lightweight wing—it’s your passport to go higher, hike farther, and fly freer. So, if you’re ready to push boundaries without carrying extra grams, this is the wing that will elevate your every step and soar.

Technology Of NOVA DOUBLESKIN paraglider
Under pressure. NOVA Air Scoop is an optimised air intake, which increases the internal wing pressure. NOVA’s Air Scoop principle is similar to the ram-air inlet duct on a sports car: increased airflow produces higher pressure. Higher internal pressure in a paraglider means improved performance through increased structural stability and collapse resistance.
More compact.
Zig-Zag 3D-Shaping. In addition to the standard 3D Shaping there is a Zig-zag 3D Shaping seam on each cell. The advantage is that this seam doesn’t run in the direction of the spanwise force. This means the seam runs more cleanly and is more aerodynamically advantageous. This innovation reduces the creases in the leading edge.

SERVIECS OF NOVA DOUBLESKIN paraglider
Every NOVA paraglider comes with a big package of extra services and guarantees. When you buy the wing you get more than just the product1.
Optimise your wing.During the initial flights the lines are subjected to real loads for the first time. This leads to stretching and shrinking – regardless of which line material is used. During NOVA Trim Tuning² our software analyses how out of trim the glider has become and then calculates the required correction values. Trim Tuning aids safety and increases your flying fun.
Fully comprehensive insurance
.After purchasing the wing and successfully registering it at myNOVA, you are provided with one year fully comprehensive insurance (excess: 63.50 euro incl VAT / + postage & packing³). You do the damage, we carry the cost. NOVA Protect means that you can concentrate on the important thing: the flying! If you break it, we fix it!
More than a check.The NOVA Full Service is more than just a check. Just like the Trim Tuning, we analyse the line lengths and ensure that the wing is restored to the optimal profile alignment across the whole of the span. Additionally we give the wing a full health check. Our NOVA Full Service gives you confidence in your wing.
Three years without worry
If your wing has undergone NOVA Trim Tuning, the date to the next check is extended from two years to three years. The two-year check becomes a three-year check. This allows you to have an extra year of carefree flying. Please note the maximum permitted flying hours in the manual.
Full four year warranty.As standard, NOVA provides a three year, rather than a two year, guarantee on its paragliders. If your wing has undergone NOVA Trim Tuning and a NOVA Full Service, then we will extend the guarantee for a further year to four years. You get a good feeling flying a NOVA wing.
