Discover all the fun of the LEAF 3 in a lighter version. The LEAF 3 Light allows you to progress to the top, whether on foot or in the air, thanks to its safe handling and optimized weight.
About LEAF 3 Light
If you are looking for a light wing to continue your progression in paraglider without depriving yourself of the flight rando, the LEAF 3 Light is made for you. The program: lightness, passivesafety and performance.
The LEAF 3 Light has a similar design as the LEAF 3, the only difference being that the materials used are lighter, allowing you to progress serenely on flight and to practice hike & fly comfortably.
The LEAF 3 Light offers a playful behavior while providing a High level of passive safety. In addition to being better damped than the second generation, especially on the roll axis, the piloting is precise and comfortable thanks to a design light which reduces the inertia of the wing movements to better communicate the information of the air mass.
The architecture of the LEAF 3 Light limits the deformations of the glider, allowing a large control travel to exploit the full speed range. The new design of the vault makes theLift / thermic easier to operate while the lighter feather structure makes the wing responsive in turns . These elements offer a precise piloting in flight .
Thanks to its tolerant behavior, the LEAF 3 Light teaches you to refine your piloting little by little to accompany you serenely in your progression towards performance. Light and compact, it is a wing to take everywhere!

Although based on the design , the LEAF 3 Light uses lightweight and robust materials for optimal weight/durability without impacting its performance at flight.
Just like the non-weighted version, the LEAF 3 light is an ideal wing to progress with thanks to its High level of passive safety. It is nevertheless a playful wing with which you can work on your technique to go further.
The structure of the LEAF 3 Light has been reworked for better performance in flight . More damped than the LEAF 2 Light on the roll axis, its behavior filters the air mass for more comfort in flight without compromising on the precision of the piloting .
Unlike the LEAF 3, the Line set of the LEAF 3 Light is unsheathed on the upper stage to save weight and reduce drag. However, the lower and middle stages remain sheathed for easy untangling and preflighting.
With a weight of 3.66 kg in size M, this light and compact kite goes everywhere with you, whether in the air or in your bag. It is the ideal choice if you wish to progress serenely in flight while practicing Hike & Fly.
IDEAL TO PROGRESS WITHOUT GETTING BORED
The LEAF 3 Light is designed for pilots who wish to continue their progression in paraglider under a reassuring wing that does not deprive them of the pleasures of flight rando.
Just like the standard version, the LEAF 3 Light is an easy to fly and very forgiving glider for a smooth progression towards a more efficient practice of paraglider, on land and in the air.
It is still playful and reactive to the control and will allow you to perfect your piloting technique step by step.
COMFORT IN FLIGHT
The LEAF 3 Light has a new design arch to provide better cushioning, especially on the roll axis.
Thanks to its lightweight structure, the LEAF 3 Light communicates information from the air mass to you while reducing the inertia of the wing's movements. This reassuring behavior allows you to stay confident while understanding what is going on around you.
The construction of the internal structure limits the deformation of the Airfoil and increases the control travel. This gives you the freedom to exploit the full speed range of the wing while maintaining steering precision.
OPTIMIZED LEADING EDGE
Like the LEAF 3, the light version benefits from a reworked leading edge. The air inlets alternate between two types of openings along the leading edge to ensure optimal internal pressure at all engine speeds flight.
Airfoil The wide air inlets maintain internal pressure at low speeds , while the narrower openings ensure optimal pressure at flight .
THERMAL PERFORMANCE
Thanks to the new architecture of the wing, the turn is more fluid with a better coordination of the roll and pitch axis, which makes the control of the wing more precise. Its arch allows for a flatter turn flatter turnwhich makes it easier to optimize theLift / thermic . The LEAF 3 Light is therefore an EN-B with a design ideal for thermal flight and cross.
