Accessories The serial gear comes in a cordura backpack with lateral straps to compress it. A finely made speed bar is included, but it has only one pedal. The inside bag is made of a very soft material and it also includes a strap for the glider. The manual is quite complete, and describes well the qualities and use for the glider (not in Spanish, though).
