WHAT THE HECK IS DLS?! I Advance IOTA DLS Paraglider Review

🔥 What's DLS? I Advance IOTA DLS Paraglider Review 🤩

Join Flybubble Carlo as he talks about Advance's high B paraglider - IOTA DLS. 😍👍

What is Carlo feedback about IOTA DLS: "Easy launch, light brakes, exceptionally precise handling, good agility, moderate feedback, very comfortable, very enjoyable to fly, pilot demands at the lower end of High B, performance near or at the top. "🤩🔥

What is DLS? "It is durable - lightweight - structure. Glider is almost as light as light-weight paraglider and compact too. Advance also claims that longevity is as good as standard weight paraglider."

What Advance is saying: "The IOTA DLS is the high performance XC specialist – through and through. With this High-B wing you can enjoy maximal flying comfort over very long distances. Now constructed with DURABLE LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE, the IOTA DLS qualifies as a light wing. This development progress starts a new era – without compromising robustness or long life."

Excellent review with all the feedback pilots need to hear. Thanks!

[DougEDeGeorge]

I've been loving all the glider of you videos you guys do keep up the great work!

[raoulduke]

footage and editing super nice, great job

[hosuemm]

To experience paragliding is one of my biggest dream before I die.

[alishanmao]

what a beautiful place to fly, I wish i could live there. i would fly everyday

[Parakitedude]

I am waiting for mine to come. You forgot to mention that you can order the wing with softlinks and light risers saving 150gram

[johny]

I was waiting for this review and it's awesome. Would you recomend it as a step up from the Alpha or still go with the Epsilon?

[nurikayserilioglu]

Hey Carlo, thanks for a great review once again :) btw, how can I find the tiny compass on your chest strap? :)

[rayanjreissati]

How does it compare with the Maestro 2 ?

[ivicatic]

Hello,
great review, but if I may ask for one advice :)
I am flying Epsilon 9 now for around 100 hours in strong thermaling summer conditions in south Spain.
I consider myself pilot who is ready to step up, but what is the biggest difference in flying (feeling) between Epsilon 9 and Iota DLS.
Worth the change?
Little bit worried about DLS concept in dusty Spain :/

Watching all of these reviews, and even testing the wings myself, i still find it difficult to make a choice between the Advance iota dls and the Skywalk chili 5. I do feel the iota might be a little more vivid than the chili, however i tested the Chili in a very different location that the iota - and i felt the chili had a wonderful glide.... i still can't decide which one is my next wing. I am interested to know what others have thought of these 2 wings.

How is the packing volume compared to the XI?

[lifeintheair]

Could you tell us about the sigma11, little is said about it, thank you

[safranpollen]

the DLS gives Carlos clearly a Santana flair:)

[francescoianes]

How would you compare the Beat light to the Iota Dls? Thank's!!!

[Roby-Bees]

I don't know to buy this Advance iota or Phi Tenor Light.

[jameshoben]

does it come as a pair of gliders or do you just get one?

[FreeFlightGuy]

Too bad they went with those brakes. The XI has the best brake handles of any wing.

This video convinced me to step up to the high B class and further my XC experience. I love everything from Advance and just purchased a used one you had for sale and can’t wait to kite it and then get in the air. Thanks for the nice review! 🪂
