Dudek Run & Fly 2

The old mountain-travel wisdom that "the summit is only halfway" still rings as true, but the latter half of your trip could be twice the fun and a whole lot quicker. Dudek's Run&Fly2 is an ultralight, ultra-packable glider that opens up the possibility for you to summit at sunset and return to the trailhead before dark. Preserving the effortless launch and flight characteristics of the original, Dudek miraculously managed to make one of the simplest gliders in history even more user-friendly. The airfoil profile was tweaked to increase the glide ratio, bringing more distant objectives within reach and allowing for prolonged, dreamy glides back to the trailhead. With line levels and risers now distinguished by color, setting up for your sunset flight in waning light is no longer a strain on the eyes. Additionally, snap clasps secure the control toggles to the risers, minimizing the possibility of brake twists. With the updated Run&Fly 2 in your pack, "When will we ever get back to the trailhead?" may never cross your lips again.
