Tested, Proven, And Ready For Action. Introducing PPG Smoke's Dual Float System—the industry's bulletproof safety solution for flying near water. Let's face it, water is some of the most fun terrain to fly over for a handful of reasons: seeing your reflection, enjoying the smooth conditions, or just exploring the shoreline is something we all enjoy. However water brings risk, and if you go into the water you need to take steps towards ensuring your safety and recovery of the equipment. Floatation devices, like the PPG Smoke Dual Float or U-Float, is a step in that direction. Having something to help catch you and keeps you afloat reduces your risk BIG TIME. Water risk is serious, and floats have proven to help reduce that. For a small investment you can have some serious safety. The PPG Smoke Dual Float system is built out of a high quality Cordura fabric and designed with an easy Velcro mounting system. It truly is a "plug and play" for any paramotor, big or small. This system is a phenomenal safety net for either freshwater or saltwater flights, offering up to 300N of buoyancy within moments of water contact. This system is a bulletproof safety net for paramotoring, paragliding, SIV's, and hang gliding scenarios. The Dual Float System uses a bobbin-trigger mechanism that upon water contact dissolves, activating a CO2 cartridge that inflates the floatation bladder. Each of the units (left and right) can also manually inflate through an oral tube or pull-string as a backup. Effortless Installation You need float systems that can be easily installed wherever you want. The PPG Smoke Dual Float system is designed to be simple and easy to install. It's built with a universal Velcro mounting system, making it easy to attach to any spar, frame, or paramotor, regardless of location. It seamlessly and securely attaches to whichever section of your paramotor you choose. Common installation locations are the shoulder straps, the main frame beside the swingarms, and horizontal spars. Each of these three locations has its pros and cons, and you can quickly change the placement as desired. Lightweight Design The PPG Smoke Dual Float weighs in at 0.95lbs per side with the co2 installed. This means for under 2lbs you are equipped with a possible life saving device, that you'll hopefully never need, but be glad you had. This lightweight design is achieved through a minimalistic design, tough but light cordura nylon, and a simple attachment system. No complex buckles, no extra fufu, and no added weight. Redundancy The PPG Smoke Dual Float system is built with 3 forms of redundancy. Firstly they are designed to auto inflate upon contacting water. They do not inflate from light water contact, like foot drags or dew. Secondly, they have a manual inflation tab that you can easily pull if needed. And third they can be manually inflated through the blow tube near the top. The Dual Floats are also dual redundant by design, since they're two separate systems in place (left and right) with separate co2. Robust Stitching Every detail matters. Following feedback from industry experts, our chosen stitch pattern guarantees both the desired quality and security for pilots. Structural strength will never be a compromise, and these are built to last regardless of the use and abuse they go through.
