Advance Epsilon DLS
について Advance Epsilon DLS
The Advance Epsilon DLS is the tenth generation of the Epsilon line — now reworked as a Durable Lightweight Structure version, EN/LTF B certified across five sizes covering 55–135 kg. Sub-3.5 kg in size 22 with light risers, but rated for everyday use rather than treated as a fragile light wing. Aimed at pilots progressing into cross-country, while doubling as a hike & fly and travel wing.
Canopy tension was redesigned for damped feedback and better turbulence absorption — the wing feels noticeably smooth in active air, with directional and roll stability up over previous Epsilons. The DLS construction (Advance's "durable lightweight" approach) keeps daily-use durability close to semi-light wings: no special handling needed, even though pack volume drops to fit comfortably in light reversible harnesses. Cloth choice reflects that balance — Skytex 38 universal on leading edge and top surface, lighter Skytex 27 classic II on the bottom surface, Skytex 40 / 32 hard finish on profiles, diagonals and tension tapes for load areas. Two riser options: standard or light risers (~200 g lighter per size). 47 cells, 5.14 flat aspect ratio.
強み
- Sub-3.5 kg in size 22 with light risers — properly light for hike & fly without giving up everyday robustness
- Redesigned canopy tension — calmer feedback and better turbulence absorption than older Epsilons
- Daily-use durability close to semi-light wings — no special handling needed despite the weight cut
- Pack volume small enough to fit cleanly in light reversible harnesses
- Five sizes covering 55–135 kg with broad ideal-weight bands
- Choice of standard or light risers (~200 g difference per size)
