First Look: Davinci Hula (Mountain Paraglider)

Just another EN-A hike-and-fly paraglider? With some
intriguing design features, maybe not. Reviewer Marcus King got to fly Davinci's mountain wing in the south of France. The Hula brings the technology from their beginner wing, the Rhythm 2, and combine it with light materials to create a wing for hike-and-fly and travel.

I can guarantee the product is light and very practical for walking in flight and phonemen.

I have a question that is on my mind for a long time. Why are manufacturers still making wings which are heavier than wings like the hula, ultralight 4 etc?

Is it because of the durability?

I've had several wings and I am interested to buy a Hula but is it strong enough to use for example when dune soaring? Will it last as long as other gliders. I've had a single skin once but sold it quite fast. Not because it was a bad wing but it felt so vulnerable.

Nice review by the way. 👍🏼
