Its cell count and moderate aspect ratio make it compact, agile, and forgiving, whilst still offering the power you need. It’s built uncompromisingly tough. You will be amazed by its speed, dive, lift, and glide. ### THE PILOT The Vapor was designed for pilots wanting a high level of stability, agility, and fun, alongside a huge flying window in both wind range and glide angle. It’s the perfect first parakite for advanced paraglider pilots, or an intermediate parakite for newcomers to air sports. Its construction is exceptionally robust, engineered because we know you will be flying in far more demanding environments than just grassy Alpine slopes, embracing the elements. Although parakites excel in stronger laminar winds, the take-off behaviour has been precisely tuned. This means the Vapor can also be your mountain companion for early- morning descents down the valley, over dry terrain, or snow. ### THE TECH Its design features are a blend of our extensive R&D knowledge from paramotoring, paragliding, performance kiting, and parakite-specific requirements. The profile offers incredible stability thanks to an engineered reflex design combined with our most advanced competition paraglider technology, ensuring both safety and confidence. A pure three-line design, it delivers maximum control, whilst its dedicated bridle system allows for dynamic or mellow dives to suit your pilot level. Depowering the wing is simple, thanks to its wooden safety handle. The Vapor comes in seven sizes with a reduced size gap to cover all pilot weights, terrains, and conditions, offering everyone the best choice of wing without compromise. ### IN FLIGHT ![Ozone Vapor in flight, photo 2](https://paraglidingequipment.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2026/11/ozone-vapor-2-768x512.webp "Ozone Vapor – Parakite 1") ![Ozone Vapor in flight, photo 3](https://paraglidingequipment.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2026/11/ozone-vapor-3-768x512.webp "Ozone Vapor – Parakite 2") The Vapor was designed to play with the elements. It’s easy to handle in low winds, yet powerful and efficient in stronger conditions, offering an extensive range of use for any given size. We recommend choosing one size larger than usual for more comfort. Remember: it flies fast, dives deep, and lifts high, even when sized up.Take-off is effortless thanks to smooth inflation in both weak and strong winds: just what you need for morning mountain take-offs or laminar soaring. Whilst it can be flown gently like a paraglider around the neutral point, it also provides steep dives on demand, alongside dynamic, fully controllable lift on straight flights or turns for easy stabi-touches. Our R&D team worked hard to deliver a direct response and dynamic feel when desired, whilst offering long brake travel to maintain accessibility for its category with a low stall point that ensures safer slow flying and landings. We’ve always developed wings to fill clear gaps in our own flying. For our first dedicated parakite, we drew on more than twenty years of knowledge across paragliders, speed wings, paramotors and foil… We’ve always developed wings to fill clear gaps in our own flying. For our first dedicated parakite, we drew on more than twenty years of knowledge across paragliders, speed wings, paramotors and foil kites. We initially retrofitted a bridle system to the Viper, as its three-line layout, high speed, and inherent stability made it a logical starting point. However, parakiting requires unique aerodynamic characteristics. A modified paramotor wing was not enough. So, we completely reengineered the concept. We developed a dedicated profile, adjusted the canopy thickness, altered the size and position of the cell openings, repositioned the attachment tabs, and created a new planform and line rigging. We collaborated with pilot Tom Viethen to establish clear handling benchmarks, while our kite R&D team shared insights from their racing foil kite developments. This cross-pollination allowed us to refine both the internal structure and sail tension. Durability was a key requirement because parakite canopies experience significant friction and stress on the ground. That is why we selected robust fabrics and reinforced high-stress areas to ensure long-term reliability. The result is the Vapor, a sport class parakite designed for accessible performance. In the air, pilots will experience a wide range of usable glide angles, direct control, and strong pitch stability. The solid sail structure gives predictable handling and total trust in active conditions. David Dagault, Chief Designer Having logged countless hours under the Vapor, what a joy to find the exact same flying pleasure across every size; each delivered with surgical precision on the controls…. Having logged countless hours under the Vapor, what a joy to find the exact same flying pleasure across every size; each delivered with surgical precision on the controls. What strikes me the most about the Vapor is its ultra-intuitive handling, seamlessly paired with incredible dive and performance for its category. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt such a connection under a new wing. Despite its thick, highly durable fabric, it remains surprisingly light and smooth to inflate for a parakite. That was a key priority for me: having gear that stays tough over the long haul, even against harsh elements like sand, salt, and rugged soaring spots. Tapping into its seemingly endless potential is pure bliss, and I truly believe it is set to become a real benchmark in free flight. True to form, Ozone took their time to deliver something beautiful, distinct, and refined—and you can feel it from the moment you take off! Elise Nocque, Ozone Ambassador * Weights may vary up to 50g per size due to slight variations in the manufacturing of the fabric used. Weight and size recommendations are not listed on this page. Due to the dynamic nature of the sport and wing positioning, suitable sizing depends significantly on an individual pilot’s physical condition, skill level, and local flying terrain. Ozone relies on its network of official parakite dealers and ambassadors to provide personalised advice and tailored recommendations for every pilot (dealer page coming soon). ## Colours and custom colours The Vapor comes in 2 standard Ozone colour schemes (**X/W**, **T/W**).
