IN-MOLD
Production technology, which makes the helmet of a single high-strength and lightweight unit.

SYSTEM I.A.T.
Complex system of internal temperature control combining unique technologies – I.T.C. internal air circulation system and ACTIVE BOOST active ventilation system.

AIRINERGY
Ventilation system with integrated air vents enables optimal airflow. Fresh air dissipates heat and moisture away from the head and thus keeps the head in ideal conditions.

CE
We garantee proved safety.

DUAL FIX
Adjustment fitting system has been developed with a maximal emphasis to compactness of placing the helmet on skier’s head. By using DUAL FIX (multiple security fitting system) is achieved a high helmet compactness with skier head which significantly increases overall safety. DUAL FIX control in the back of the helmet is very easy and intuitive.

EASY CLICK
Easy and quick fastening of safety straps under the chin improves the helmet’s placing on the head. It reduces risk of helmet’s movement on skier’s head during impact and thus increases protection of his head.

SOFT SENSE
Shaped antibacterial SOFT SENSE padding provides extra warmth and a pleasant feeling. Soft fleece with SENSITIVE treatment is very pleasant to touch and forms an insulating layer protecting skier’s head from chilling.

UV 400
All our sunglasses have 100% protection agains UV radiation A, B, C.

MULTIVISION
The multi-curved surface of the lens is the most technologically advanced optical element composed of two spherical surfaces. The rounded surface is better adapted to the human eye, eliminates the distortion of the transmitted image and thereby achieving a clean undistorted vision of each skier. Advantage of panoramic MULTIVISION lens is maximum sharpness at all angles of view, a perfect peripheral vision and optical precision.

Details

For its 16th generation, the Bandit received extensive work on profile smoothing and load distribution. The introduction of staggered seams on both the leading and trailing edges levels the canopy when powered, reducing unwanted deformation and improving overall efficiency. This results in a noticeably calmer kite with increased stability, especially in the high end.

Different TECHNOFORCE materials are strategically used depending on size, ensuring the right balance between strength, resistance to elongation, and low weight. The refined canopy construction improves control in strong winds while maintaining lightness in larger sizes.

On the water

Bandit XVI feels extremely composed in the air, with a linear and precise response to steering input. Bar feedback is clean and predictable, offering an ideal balance between ease of use and direct connection to the kite. The kite accelerates efficiently, holds speed well, and makes going upwind easier and more comfortable than ever.

Turning, control and relaunch

Thanks to the patented Delta C-Shape, Bandit XVI delivers excellent stability, fast and reliable auto relaunch, and consistent handling across the entire wind range. The Spider Bridle system, combined with lightweight CNC-machined low-friction pulleys, keeps the arc stable even when overpowered and enhances the kite’s reactivity without adding drag.

Technology

	DELTA C-SHAPE technology design offers unmatched stability and steering response when fully de-powered, with the possibility of connecting the front lines higher on the leading edge of the kite. This shape was the result of a design research towards maximum optimization of the aerodynamic performances of the kite and of its depower. It gives the possibility to fit more canopy area in the middle sections to create more projected area while the C Shape makes sure the kite remains responsive and fluid.
	REACTOR VALVE The reactor inflation valve offers a high flow connection that twist locks the pump hose to the kite for an easy and super-fast inflation and deflation at the push of a button. It provides a high air flow rate between the struts and leading edge.
	AUTO RELAUNCH F-ONE’s auto relaunch is quick and easy and releases the kite from the water with the perfect amount of traction. Once the kite is sitting with the leading edge flat on the water, its C-Shape associated with the Delta Pivot allows the kite to automatically roll over onto one wing tip. The kite will then glide towards the edge of the window, ready for quick and easy water relaunch.
	FORCE FRAME The Force Frame is a solid Dacron structure offering optimized durability with no additional weight gain.
	TECHNOFORCE TEIJIN’s TECHNOFORCE™ is the most reliable high density polyester fabric. Its tear-stopping structure using thin and high tension yarn makes the fabric ultra-durable. It has a great proven track record of lightness and durability.
