Whether you’re an experienced hike-and-fly pilot or just starting your adventure in vol-biv, this wing offers the ideal blend of precision, stability, and feather-light performance. Unlike heavier gliders that often trade agility for durability, the Yeti 6 proves you can have both.Gin Carve 2

Next-Level Lightweight Design

At the core of the Gin Yeti 6 lies its innovative, ultra-lightweight construction. Made from premium Porcher Skytex 27 and engineered with precision, this glider feels nearly weightless in your pack. However, its airworthiness remains rock-solid in flight. Additionally, its compact packing volume means you can hike longer distances without added fatigue. Furthermore, its refined internal structure enhances both performance and longevity.https://www.instagram.com/paragliding_explorer_wing_shop?igsh=bGg2dWxqNzQ1bzF4&utm_source=qr

Because of its unique profile and planform, the Yeti 6 delivers exceptionally easy launches—even in tricky conditions. Moreover, the improved riser design ensures smooth inflation and effortless handling from the very first step into the air.

Performance You Can Trust with Gin Yeti 6

Not only does the Gin Yeti 6 climb efficiently in thermals, but it also glides with surprising authority for a wing in its class. This makes it perfect for pilots aiming to explore backcountry routes or extend their flight time. While many ultralight wings feel twitchy in turbulence, the Yeti 6 remains remarkably stable, giving you the confidence to push further into challenging terrain.

Additionally, brake response feels crisp and intuitive, so you stay connected with every movement. Because of this precise control, you can carve tight thermals, adjust your line quickly, and manage approach landings with ease.

Compact in the air…

Thanks to the new planform and arc, the wing is agile in the turn whilst remaining highly stable in roll. It has a compact and well balanced feel in the air in all conditions. Lines are a carefully chosen mix of sheathed lines for the lower and mid lines with unsheathed upper lines.

…and on the ground

No stone was left unturned in our quest to minimise weight and packing volume. Nickel titanium (Nitinol) rods are used in place of plastics, and reinforcements on both the trailing and leading edge have been removed or replaced with tapes wherever possible. The internal structure has been further optimised for lower weight and the number of bridle attachment points reduced. All this means a smaller, lighter pack — helping you move fast across the terrain.

First class climbing

Some mountain wings leave something to be desired when it comes to climbing performance. Not so the Yeti 6. The planform, arc, sail tensioning and swept back wing tips all work together to promote flat and efficient turning behaviour. The Yeti 6 can be used for so much more than just fly-downs!

Students welcome

The Yeti 6’s handling was trimmed and tuned with students in mind. The goal was to have a more damped character than its predecessor, whilst retaining enough of the fun factor for more experienced mountain pilots. Brake travel is long and progressive yet has a direct feel, and there is zero tendency to enter a spiral dive in case the pilot inadvertently pulls too much brake. It’s a pleasure to teach with the Yeti 6 and students with an interest in hike ’n’ fly need not look further for a post-school wing.

High wing loading, no problem

The Yeti 6 doesn’t just have an incredibly wide range of possible wing loadings, it also remains stable throughout this range. The EN A rating has been retained even at high wing loadings thanks to the wing’s inherent stability in all axes.

Accommodating take-off behaviour

Thanks to the Yeti 6’s efficient profile the wing rapidly stabilises overhead and produces lift and provides a gentle forward momentum on light wind take-offs. In stronger winds, the wing remains equally well behaved with no hanging back. Whatever your skill level and the terrain, the Yeti 6 will allow the best possible take-off.

Yeti compress bag

Also available for the Yeti 6 is a specially designed compress bag. The Yeti compress bag folds 5 times, ensuring the most compact volume possible and a perfect fit in your rucksack for those fast or long hikes.

40L X-lite rucksack

This 40L rucksack is a perfect match for the Yeti 6 and the Yeti compress bag. Loaded with essential alpinism features such as ice-axe, ski and walking pole holders, drinks pockets, stowage straps and ergonomic shoulder straps, the X-lite rucksack is built for mountain adventure.

Designer notes Gin Yeti 6

Designer Gin Seok Song explains the philosophy of the Yeti 6

The Yeti 6 incorporates all our learning from the Yeti 5 and Bolero 7.

Our priority was to combine the climbing performance and all-round ease and stability of the Bolero 7, whilst also retaining the low packing volume and weight of the Yeti 5. The result is basically a wing that is simple to launch and climbs with a flat, efficient turn. At the same time, it offers more performance than its predecessor whilst being also less demanding to fly.

We feel this is a significant step forward that will appeal to a wide range of mountain pilots.
