BECAUSE IT COUNTS
Quality is a word that gets used a lot in kiting. At Ozone, we don’t use it lightly. When we use it, we mean it. We’re proud of our design and manufacturing and believe they set a
precedent for the rest of the industry.
At Ozone quality begins with design; we produce kites with the best quality handling and feel combined with the highest level of performance and safety.
Choosing materials: This is a simple issue, when we choose materials, we base our decision solely upon the fact that the materials we use are the best available for the job.
Kite production: All Ozone kites are manufactured in our own facility. We have total control over every aspect of the manufacturing process, and each kite is fully inflated and
inspected to certified paragliding standards before leaving our DHV-approved factory.
Product testing: Your kite has undergone thousands of hours of development, from CAD design through to riding in extreme conditions. Our riders and design team are out testing
all year round in temperatures of -40˚C in Norway to the baking heat and sand blasts of Chile.
SUPERIOR FABRICS DOUBLE STITCHED
Ozone kites are double-needle stitched, which is stronger and more durable than single line stitching in the event of the kite being dragged over rough ground. Even our thread
used for stitching the lines and sail is anti-UV coated, bonded thread further adding to the strength and life-span of our kites. Every seam is checked to within 0.5 mm; a look at
how well the colour - scheme on the outside matches, and the accuracy of the seams inside the kite will highlight this fact. Extensive research, testing and development between
Ozone and NCV Porcher Marine has led to the release of NCV Porcher A767. We also developed our own cloth which we have named Ozone40D. Both Nylon Rip-Stop fabrics
offer an unbeatable blend of UV resistance, stiffness and tear resistance.
MYLAR EDGED
Aerodynamics tell us that the leading and trailing edges are the two most critical lines in an aerofoil section. Ozone kites are Mylar taped for the leading edge cell openings, giving
a more rigid structure, a clean and efficient aerofoil and absolutely zero stretching. The Mylar tape effectively locks the sail shape, meaning your kite keeps its factory trim. Just
remember that only a 1mm error on a cell in a kite with 30 cells leads to an overall error of 3cm, this can make a marked difference to a kites handling, performance and safety! It’s
why we started our own factory.
