Bright III is the third
generation of Gradient's basic intermediate
glider. Gradient has focused primarily on safety
in the development the new Bright III and
important improvements in recovery behaviour
have been achieved. Spiral recovery
characteristics are a challenging feature of
lower aspect ratio designs but the advanced
testing and research at Gradient has resulted in
a glider with an even greater degree of passive
safety while maintaining good handling and
performance for a paraglider in the DHV1
class. Gradient continues with our proven mix
of Porcher Marine Skytex (S 9092 45 g/m2) water
repellent cloth for the upper sail and Porcher
Marine Skytex (S 9017 40g/m2) for the lower
surface. The main ribs are made of
stretch-resistant Porcher Marine Skytex. This
carefully chosen mix of cloth types for the
different elements of the design ensures the
optimum balance of durability. lasting
performance and strength. The three riser
system and line lay out of the Bright III make
for easy set up and easy launches and contribute
to the glider's good overall performance and
although Bright III is aimed at new pilots
Bright III offers cross country flying to those
who know the sky. The Bright III has a new
attractive colour design for the upper-sail with
new colour combinations for 2006. Bright III is
available in five colour ways and four standard
DHV 1 certificated sizes spanning an in-flight
weight range of 60-130 kg.
