The comfort-kilometer hound
The paraglider built especially for big tasks.
2 PLUS 2
For all gliders purchased after July 1, 2007, Skywalk offers its customers the skywalk 2 + 2 Guarantee – an additional warranty that goes beyond the minimum required by law.

These are the designs of our basic models.
Flying
Exceptionally high value was placed on achieving the clean, simple and direct handling of the CHILI3 during development and the results are very satisfying. The reduced steering pressure in comparison with the CHILI2 makes it possible to maintain the good feeling even during very long flights. It is not just the excellent performance and high flight stability that makes the CHILI3 shine, but the error-forgiving flight behaviour as well.
Thus, the CHILI3 is the perfect companion for ambitious xc pilots who do not want to do without the safety that an EN-B wing offers, and for thermal pilots without a lot of experience.
Design
The CHILI3 is a completely new design, largely based upon the technology of the CAYENNE4.
Rigid Foils in the leading edge provide for a light, form-stable profile contour, C-WIRES dampen the trailing edge of the wing and allow the CHILI3 to convert every updraft. All reinforcements are made from indestructible plastic and are bend-resistant, thus making special packing methods unnecessary.
MINI RIBS on the trailing edge improve brake behavior and ensure improved form drag. The optimized brake gathering system decreases steering pressure. The double 3D-shaping behind the leading edge on the top sail creates fewer folds and contributes to the advantageous form drag.
An added performance plus is the new cell concept, (real 3-liner with 2 main lines per side), a 25% savings in line meters. The CHILI3 is equipped with hybrid lines, consisting of covered Dyneema main lines and uncovered Technora middle- and top lines. The CHILI3 M has a mere 239 m of lines including the brake lines!
With regard to cloths, we selected a mix of premium Porcher and Dominico. These materials provide low weight with simultaneously very good durability.
Performance
The CHILI3 impresses with extraordinary XC characteristics.
Very good glide performance and high end speed go hand in hand with high stability and a safe feeling for pilots. For those who want to access the full potential of the CHILI3, and those who have the experience, we recommend the use of an aerodynamic harness. Only then can the extraordinary glide of the CHILI3 be fully utilized.
The climb performance of the CHILI3 is outstanding and can be precisely controlled.
Safety
The reactions of the CHILI3 are very manageable. Canopy feedback is good and direct.
Our tried and true JET FLAPS are partly responsible, along with the relatively low aspect ratio. The position of the A-level was not moved back and the CHILI3 was certified without folding lines, like all of the skywalk gliders!
For pilots with very low flight hours or lower performance demands, we recommend the TEQUILA, a low-level B wing.
