About
Triple Seven Gliders (777) is a paragliding equipment manufacturer based in Ajdovščina, Slovenia, founded by the Valič Brothers. The company produces a comprehensive lineup of paragliders spanning all certification levels — from the beginner-friendly Matrix (EN-A) and Knight 2 (EN-B), through the intermediate Rook 4 (EN-B) and performance-oriented Queen 3 (EN-C) and King 2 (EN-D), up to the competition-grade Gambit (CCC) and the tandem-rated Bishop (EN/LTF B). In addition to standard gliders, 777 offers a dedicated lightweight series (M-Light, K-Light 2, Q-Light 3) built for hike-and-fly and weight-conscious pilots. The brand is distinguished by a suite of in-house engineering technologies: LDC (Lightweight Durable Canopy), LAO (Load Attachment Optimization), LCT (Laser Cut Technology), LMO (Line Material Optimization), SDT (Segmented Diagonal Technology), and BPI (Back Position Intake), all aimed at maximizing glide efficiency, structural integrity, and pilot comfort. 777 also offers the Throne harness, a range of accessories (bags, rescue systems, apparel), and supports pilots through dealer networks, demo flight requests, and a product registration/warranty portal. The brand is widely reviewed and respected in the paragliding community for delivering high efficiency and XC performance across its product range.
