Light fabric is more expensive and so is manufacturing. Unsheathed and spliced lines are also much more expensive than standard lines.
Light versions have long accounted for only 10-15% of sales, so homologation costs are spread over fewer products sold.
The selling price of a Light version is usually 5-10% higher than the standard version, which does not even dissuade the many pilots who do not walk much!
The Light is however an heavy argument 🤣 (we’re kidding!) and its many advantages mean that it has more and more followers.
We had expected a strong increase in sales of this type of product. This was indeed the case with the rise of Hike & Fly, to the extent that some Swiss importers no longer stock the standard versions of certain models at all !
This LIGHT trend is still growing!
