Dismantling and working with Ozone wings it is fun, exciting and satisfying.
With this beautiful title: ”Cool things from recycled wings” we’ve got today a news piece on their website.
The Spanish Company, Blauvent by Carmesine, has created a line of bags and accessories for paraglider pilots, made by paraglider pilots… and made from recycled Ozone paragliders!
We have just received a few examples of the line, and we have to say that they are some of the most unique and intriguing paragliding-related items that we have seen for quite some time. The attention to detail and the versatility of the products is impressive, and the designer has made very clever use of the wing color patterns.
All products are individually hand made with great care in Spain at Blauvent’s small scale production facility. Because each item in the recycled line is made from a different piece of each recycled wing, each product is unique. Order a handbag or a travel wallet, and you’ll own a piece of an Ozone prototype, probably a Delta 🙂
Check out Blauvent’s website, which shows not only the recycled wing line but also a variety of other products, from swimwear to wall art and even some furniture. www.blauvent.com
Cheers from all the Team

We’ve been carefully recycling Ozone Paragliders into bags. Each pocket is one of a kind! The new section Recycling Paragliders it is already open!
Cutting a sample…
We have the Skytex ready to cut, the ropes classified, and we already collect mostly everything of what we need to continue.
All the new recycled line will be combined with a new colour and a new quality of canvas textile.
We launched a new colour version of our logo stamp, this one in black, we have several new interesting plastic trimmings (this has been a very difficult process in Spain, as most technical trimmings are made in Asia), we have also a new cute-sturdy strap, and the new print design for the linnings!!!
Disassembled gliders, awaiting the new materials and components that will be combined with our recycled material. Developed a new print design for the line. New submenu with new models and versions on process.
This sticker identifies the pilots federated in the Valencian community, as well as the ones who collaborate with the local committee of paragliding, the sticker cost 5€, this money will be spent in maintaining the takeoffs of our region. I’ve already pasted it on my helmet!
Today the lines were took out from the prototypes.
Another great video by Petlu!!! featuring the best moments from 2009, done with subtlety and forcefulness, a good work and a must seen!!! i love it!
I’ve just discover this great thing… a woolen hat with sewn-in lightweight structure impact.
Ribcap was presented for the first time in 2005 as a world wide innovation.
This product offers all the advantages of a normal cap or beanie and can at the same time protect against bumps…
Using structure’s advanced lightweight technology, upon impact the structure material changes from a lightweight flexible material into a semi-rigid or fully rigid state depending on the size of the impact.
Fashionable and safe, these protective hats are better than wearing nothing and the next best thing to wearing a helmet.
They’ve been sponsorizing two paragliders; Chrigel Maurer and Thomas Theurillat on the X-Alps contest.
