We also offer the Parasail (a variant of the Parasailor), the snuffing system Easysnuffer, and sophisticated sail-bags.

ISTEC was established in 2004 as a spin-off of Swing Flugsportgeräte GmbH, the world's leading manufacturer of paragliders and related equipment. Based in Landsberied near Munich, Bavaria, ISTEC and Swing cooperate closely in research & development, purchasing, manufacturing, and administration.
