SKYMAN Cross Country S — High-B Performance in a Light Frame

Running just seven risers total — 2 A, 3 B, 2 C — might look like a cost-cutting move at first glance, but it reads more like a list of what this wing refused to give up. The short brake travel and agile response stayed put; the only thing scaled back is the liveliness that belongs to the Cross Alps. A comfort-first wing often skimps on fast descent tools, but the Cross Country doesn't. Pulling -5m/s off a single set of big ears means this wing filled in a gap that light, gentle canopies usually leave open.
