GORE-TEX®

 My Arc’teryx / GORE-TEX® apparel keeps me dry while providing a maximum of breathability. I rely on strong, abrasion resistant and durable GORE-TEX® Pro Shell products, which have been developed to withstand extremely harsh conditions and offer dependable protection, no matter how tough things get. Only with this kind of gear it is possible to reach top efficiency in the mountains, regardless of wind and weather. Product meetings at regular intervals serve to realise new ideas together.

UP Paragliders

My paragliding gear is supplied by UP, the company is based in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the beautiful Bavarian Alps. Founded in 1972, UP is considered one of the pioneers in this sport. After a tough climb up, I sometimes find myself in difficult terrain to launch – knowing that I can count on my equipment gives me peace of mind. The company’s philosophy “Having fun thanks to maximum performance paired with maximum safety” goes well with my own way of life – I enjoy shifting boundaries and performing to my own personal max, without taking risks by being well prepared.
