Origo Envelopes

Giving fabrics a second life

Lightweight and easy to handle, this simplified envelope design is ideal for pilots starting their journey.

Technical parameters

The Heart of the System

Origo 18

Origo envelopes are available in two sizes:

Origo 15 (15,000 m³ / 53 cu ft)
Origo 18 (18,000 m³ / 64 cu ft)

Both are designed as lightweight configurations with simplified construction. The reduced weight improves handling during packing, transport, and general operation.

The Origo envelope is manufactured from Kubíček Polyester Light fabric of second-grade quality. This material may include minor visual imperfections such as lines or specks, which do not affect structural integrity, safety, or flight performance.

By utilizing these materials, Origo supports efficient use of fabric that would otherwise be discarded, contributing to reduced material waste.

Envelope designs are defined by available fabric stock.
