The ADVANCE FLATBAG DLS (ref. 100994) is a new-generation compression concertina bag designed to protect your paraglider while radically shrinking pack volume. Created to work in perfect harmony with modern lightweight wings and rucksacks, it lets pilots pack fast, hike light and still treat their canopy with the care it deserves.
Smart protection for today’s lightweight wings
FLATBAG DLS combines the gentle, cell-by-cell packing of a traditional concertina bag with an integrated compression system. The profile and internal straps keep leading-edge rods straight and line groups orderly, helping to preserve the wing’s trim and performance over time.
Robust yet light fabrics make the bag suitable for everyday use, from hike & fly to regular local soaring. Long zippers and clear alignment markings simplify the packing routine, even in tight launch areas or windy conditions.
Perfect match for compact hike & fly gear
Developed to pair ideally with compact rucksacks such as the LIGHTPACK DLS, the bag’s slim silhouette and efficient compression reduce bulk in your backpack and make carrying your full kit noticeably more comfortable. The result is more space for backup clothing, food and safety equipment without increasing overall load.
Designed for real-world use
ADVANCE has optimised the layout for intuitive handling: you lay out the leading edge, close the cells progressively, secure the risers and then apply compression. This avoids dragging the canopy over the ground, minimises fabric abrasion and keeps sand or grass from being trapped deep inside the wing.
Who the FLATBAG DLS is for
The FLATBAG DLS is ideal for pilots who frequently walk with their equipment, travel by air or train, or simply want neater, safer storage for their wing between flights. From ambitious beginners with their first lightweight glider to experienced cross-country or mountain pilots, anyone looking to save space without compromising on canopy care will appreciate its advantages.
