We celebrate our worldwide UP community! That's why we want to introduce you to two of our team pilots in each new newsletter.
Just in time for the upcoming new year, we have a number of new accessories that we would like to introduce:
Rechtzeitig für das bevorstehende neue Jahr gibt es eine Reihe von neuen Accessoires die wir gerne vorstellen möchten:
The evolution of our popular pilot glove gets several useful detail upgrades with the "Vesuv2". So, the knitted cuffs on the wrist have been extended slightly for even more comfort and seamless transition with your outerwear. Also, the Vesuv2 is now equipped with elastic wrist loops, so that the glove can also be taken off mid-air without the risk of losing it to gravity. Existing qualities of the predecessor are of course retained untouched, such as the robust yet flexible material mix of soft, water-repellent goatskin with the windproof and waterproof stretch material. The Vesuv2 has insulation and thus also offers comfort in slightly colder temperatures. Our glove is touchscreen compatible and allows you to operate devices in the air. A special feature is the double finger touch: There is a touch point at the front of the index finger, this is ideal for wiping on the instrument/phone. On the top of the index finger is another touch point, this is perfect for typing numbers. The palm is equipped with rubber dots for a perfect, slip-proof gripOur new glove Vesuv offers a comfortable fit. The combination of soft goat leather (water-repellent) and stretch material (wind- and waterproof) makes it durable and flexible. It is isolated and thus offers comfort wearing also in colder temperatures.
Sizes: S (7), M (8), L (9), XL (10), XXL (11)
Material composition:
Shell: 40% polyester, 40% leather, 15% rubber, 5% elastane

The stylish Flexfit® Cap with detailed UP Logo Stick is breathable and water-repellent thanks to its hybrid fabric. It will keep your head dry and cool all day. The combination of adjustable cap with the Flexfit technology makes our FlexCap the ultimate comfortable and stylish one-size-fits-all cap.

With our new customizer it is playfully easy to create your unique personal wing. In addition to the adjustment with your desired colors, it is also possible to integrate a logo into the lower sail! Have fun trying it out!
The simultaneous release with the new Trango X is no coincidence, but shows once again how technologies from higher classes find their way into lower categories. Accordingly, the new Summit X has inherited the genes of its "big brother" and, in addition to the brand new 2-liner hybrid line setting, also shows its family affiliation in the airfoil. The fact that this interplay of new technologies can now also find its way into the B-Class is due not least to the successful cooperation with a renowned technical university, which was significantly involved in the development of the new, more powerful and more rattle-resistant profile. Countless simulations and several prototypes later, we are proud to be able to usher in a new era in the B category with the new Summit X!
Trango! One glider. One name. A huge fan community worldwide!
After setting new class standards from generation to generation with the Trango predecessors, now finally follows a worthy and long-awaited successor with the Trango X!
If you have flown the Trango X-Race, then you can certainly imagine the mammoth task our R&D team faced when it came to turning the performance screw even further, but without losing sight of the core characteristics of the Trango, for which our performance wing is highly praised worldwide: Handling, stability, thermal characteristics, climb performance... to list just a few of the much praised top attributes!
After many prototypes and various design approaches, UP has once again succeeded in creating a wing that we are extremely proud to present to the large fan community as a worthy successor to the popular Trango series! The Trango X is here. Change to the fast lane! Now!
The Mana² is, as its name suggests, the second generation of our ultra-light fun-guarantor! The Mana² is extremely versatile and its tiny pack size and light weight make it the best companion for all kinds of adventures!
- Very low canopy weight; this not only increases comfort, but also significantly improves launch behavior and offers increased safety in flight.
- New Generation Airfoil (NGA), Mini Ribs, Air intake pockets (AIP) and 3D shaping of the individual cells optimize the airflow and have a stabilizing and performance-enhancing effect.
- Reduced line system for easy line sorting and less drag
