Dudek Run & Fly
The theory that "what goes up, must come down" hasn't been disproven. So, if we must come down, Dudek's Run&Fly, designed as the world's first glider under 1 kg, is an excellent tool of choice for the job. From the remote ranges of Alaska to the technical mixed climbs of Chamonix to the high peaks of New Zealand, the Run&Fly has earned its place as the trusted companion of ambitious para-alpinists worldwide. Packing down to a volume of less than 4L and weighing in at an astonishing 985 grams in the 16m size, this single-surface marvel of aeronautical engineering can be brought along on even the most enterprising alpine climbs and long mountain runs, or in your carry-on luggage while traveling. The effortless inflation characteristics require minimal pilot inputs, and the distinctive self-stabilizing behavior keeps the wing solidly centered overhead during launch and flight, allowing you to relax and take in the views on the mellow glide down after your grueling ascent.
