In modern hike & fly paragliding, every gram and every movement count. The Grivel Plume aluminum carabiners, offered by ADVANCE, are designed exactly for this reality: compact, ultralight and engineered to connect pilot, harness and wing with maximum security in demanding mountain terrain.
Grams that matter on every ascent
Weighing just 37 g per piece, the Grivel Plume belongs to the featherweight class of Paragliding connectors. On long approach hikes and vol-bivouac adventures, this weight saving adds up noticeably, helping pilots keep their kit lean without compromising on robustness or handling.
Engineered strength for confident flying
Despite its minimal weight, the Grivel Plume delivers an impressive breaking load of 20 kN. This performance figure places it clearly in the professional category and underlines its suitability for intensive Hike & Fly use. Pilots benefit from the reassuring feeling of a certified, brand-name carabiner from a renowned mountaineering specialist, integrated into the ADVANCE accessories range.
Optimized geometry for paraglider harnesses
The carabiner geometry is tailored to typical webbing dimensions in Paragliding: 25 mm and 15 mm straps can be guided cleanly and with minimal play. This helps maintain tidy riser alignment, reduces unwanted twisting and ensures that load forces are transferred efficiently into the harness system.
Perfect match for lightweight ADVANCE equipment
The Grivel Plume fits especially well with ADVANCE’s lightweight harnesses and Hike & Fly concepts, where every component is selected for the ideal balance of weight, comfort and safety. Whether used with minimalist strap harnesses or modern reversible setups, these aluminum carabiners round off a coherent, ultralight configuration.
For pilots who push into the high mountains
Ambitious mountain pilots, ski tourers and vol-biv enthusiasts will appreciate the compact form factor of the Grivel Plume. It packs small, leaves more room in the rucksack and still offers the reliable handling you expect when clipping in on exposed take-offs or after a long ascent in variable conditions.
