The right kit at the right price
The right equipment makes flying safer and more enjoyable. That's why we offer a wide range of paragliding and paramotor kit from leading brands.
Finding the right gear at the right price matters just as much. Our instructors have years of experience across many paraglider and paramotor brands, so we can help you choose new kit or find good second-hand gear that suits your level and budget.
Placing an order
Accessories and books: we stock a range of smaller items in our online shop for next-day delivery.
Gliders, harnesses and paramotors: getting the right fit and the right kit for your level really matters, so we take a more personal approach. Get in touch and we'll talk through what you need, then source the right equipment for your flying. We may have some gliders in stock (colours may vary), and we can often deliver a paramotor within a day, subject to availability.
Call us on 07599 844 678 or email fly@sky-riders.co.uk.
Try before you buy
We have demo gliders and harnesses, so you can try kit before you commit. And once you're flying, our sister company Wingtrim services and repairs your equipment at our workshop.
The Sky Riders online shop
We don't just sell gear, we fly it. As a BHPA school we test equipment in real conditions, and our shop only stocks kit we trust, whether you're preparing for your first solo or upgrading.
- Instructor-approved: we only stock equipment we trust.
- Specialist knowledge: from reflex wings and power units to two-stroke oil and maintenance tools, we can explain every purchase.
- Personal advice: not sure about weight ranges or hang point positions? We'll help match your wing and motor to your flying and your weight.
Questions
Equipment FAQs
Should I buy my own kit before I start training?
We'd suggest waiting before you buy anything. Beginners often pick kit that doesn't suit their level, and some of it isn't safe for a new pilot. You train on our equipment, which is maintained and certified, and we help you choose the right gear as you progress.
We're dealers for leading paragliding and paramotor brands and can help with new or second-hand kit. We put the same care into checking used equipment, so it's safe and will last.
Do you sell second-hand equipment?
Yes. Our instructors have flown many different brands over the years, so we can point you towards good second-hand kit that suits your level and budget, and we check used equipment carefully so it's safe.
Can I try a wing or harness before I buy?
Yes, we have demo gliders and harnesses you can try. Ask us what's available.
How quickly can I get my kit?
Accessories and books from our shop are sent for next-day delivery. We may have some gliders in stock (colours may vary), and paramotors can often be delivered within a day, subject to availability.
