Gradient Golden4 - Technical Data

Gradient s.r.o., Plzenska 221/130, 150 00 Praha 5, tel+fax +420257216319, www.gradient.cx, gradient@gradient.cx.
The Golden4 is the rst Gradient glider where we have used Everlast, a double-coated
Porcher material. Everlast was developed by Gradient in co-operaon with Porcher Sport,
and this exclusive material provides gliders with long-term stability and durability.
Inside, the inner working of the prole is a result of Gradient’s sports class glider development.
Using the latest soware means the tension of the prole could be increased without
compromise. These improvements have allowed the Gradient team to tune the whole wing
without compromising safety.
Small, simple details make this glider complete. Gradient has paid aenon to details too,
including: new low-drag micro aachment points on the wing ps; clearing holes on the wing
ps; split A-risers with special karabiners; and a new rucksack, inner bag and riser bag.
