I'm 100kg app up, which size Savage 2 should I get?

At 100 kg all-up, the only Savage 2 size with a supplied load range is size M, certified for 83–103 kg [2], so your figure sits inside it. Flybubble also report testing that M at 88–105 kg all-up [2].

- Other Savage 2 sizes and their load ranges are not provided here, so I cannot compare them or recommend a different size [2].

- The original Savage’s four-size, 65–115 kg span is not Savage 2 size-specific data and should not be used to infer an ML or other size [1].

- The supplied gear catalogue returned no matched product records, so it adds no further size, price or stock information.

- The test notes used several harnesses, but not necessarily your setup; confirm the final size/load range and harness/reserve compatibility with Flybubble or a qualified instructor before buying [2].

  1. [1] ULTIMATE CLIMBING BEAST? Supair SAVAGE Paraglider Review

    The Supair SAVAGE, that's Supair's EN C rated lightweight wing, three liner. I have actually flown the SAVAGE quite a lot. Mainly in two sizes, the small and the medium. Straightaway one of its standout characteristics is it's a climber. It climbs exceptionally well. It's one of the best climbing paragliders I've ever flown. It's meant to be a true EN C sports glider. And it's lightweight. Only around four kilos for the size medium. So it's definitely a lightweight construction and relatively compact. So the SAVAGE comes in four sizes. From extra small to ML. Covering weight ranges from 65 kilos at the lower end of the smallest size up to 115 kilos at the top of the ML.

  2. [2] Supair SAVAGE 2 Paraglider Review

    Here are our in-depth testing notes for the Supair SAVAGE 2 so far. Test Parameters & Harnesses Used At the time of writing, we have thoroughly tested the Savage 2 size M (certified for 83-103 kg) at varying all-up weights ranging from 88 kg to 105 kg . We flew it in a wide spectrum of conditions, from light, scratchy, and smooth lift to top-end, gnarly gale-hanging. To achieve this broad range of all-up weights, we varied the gear we carried and the harnesses we used—from flying with the lightest harness and minimal gear (to hit the lower weights) to flying with our heaviest harnesses, full vol-biv kit, and ballast (to push the top end). As usual, we paired the wing with a wide variety of harnesses to see how it behaves across different setups. During this test period, we flew the Savage 2 with: Supair: Delight 5 (M), Strike 3 (M and L) Advance: Impress 4 (M, with two reserves) Kortel: Kooka (M and L) Niviuk: Arrow P 2 (M) and Roamer P (M) PHI: Cabrio (L) Woody Valley: Naos (L) and Wani Light 3 (L) Wing Loading & Weight Range Tolerance While wing loading is a critical f
