Quick answer: The Ozone Vapor is Ozone's first parakite released to the public, launched in September 2026. It comes in seven sizes from 11 to 25 m² flat, has 55 cells and a three-line design, and Ozone lists it as EN 926-1 certified (a structural load test). Ozone classes it "Intermediate | Sport". The 11 and 13 are speedflying sizes for expert pilots only. Ozone's parakite site pairs it with the Atak 2 harness.
About Ozone
Ozone is based in the south of France beneath the Gourdon flying site, and its paragliders, paramotor wings and kites are sold through distributors, schools and dealers. In September 2026 it launched a dedicated parakite range and website, with the Vapor as its first wing. Ozone traces the Vapor's depower bridle back to a system it developed for snowkites in the early 2000s.

Who is the Vapor for?
Ozone classes the Vapor as "Intermediate | Sport". It warns that sizes 11 and 13 are speedflying wings for expert pilots with mini-wing or speedwing experience, to be flown only in smooth, laminar wind and never in strong, blustery, turbulent or thermic conditions. For help choosing a size, see our Ozone Vapor size guide.
