The RAFHPA has a stock of high quality gliders and accessories that can be loaned to its members for a small monthly maintenance charge.

The Association currently has eight paragliders (five Advance Alphas DHV1 and three Advanced Epsilons DHV 1-2, all complete with harness and reserve) and three hang gliders (one tandem and two intermediates, two harnesses with reserve and one passenger harness) in its inventory. As our membership grows the Association is looking to increase its fleet of novice gliders.

Other items available for loan include varios, GPSs, helmets and radios.

For further information and to make bookings please contact the Equipment member MAT Brown via equipment@rafhpa.com or through the forum.

At present the RAFHPA clothing range includes the following items: available items include T-Shirts, North Face Soft Shell Jackets and Advance Flying Suits. The range of clothing also includes the smart polo shirts which are advertised in RAF Active magazine.

RAFHPA North Face Shell Elixir Jacket. A favourite on the hill, the North Face Elixir jacket is both windproof and showerproof and integrates well with other flying clothing. Further details on the jacket can be found on the North Face website at the following link.

RAFHPA North Face Fleece. Finally the Association is funding a North Face 1/4 Zip Fleece. This high quality item has been specially selected to integrate with the rest of the flying orientated clothing available from the RAFHPA. The chosen item is the North Face TKA 100 Glacier ¼ zip fleece in deepwater blue, details can be found on the North Face website at the following link.
The RAF Logo is embroidered on the right shoulder with white lettering and either hang gliding or paragliding in below in red lettering. The retail cost of the garment is approximately £34, but to members the garment is available for only £15.
