The Eden 7 is a top-of-the-line sports performance category with an exceptional XC potential. It combines the know-how and the latest experience gained during the development of our higher performance gliders. Extensive testing and comparison with the best gliders in the higher categories, has allowed the emergence of a paraglider that glides significantly beyond other EN B gliders.
All this is associated with a high level of stability and passive safety.
Eden 7 exhibits a balanced canopy behaviour throughout the speed range, even under harsh conditions and in turbulent air. Neutral behaviour is combined with sporty control and thermic flying is so enjoyable. Efficient climbing in weak conditions can be achieved with only a small amount of control. Brake pressure required is light to medium.
Progressively increasing power in the second range allows easy control in strong cores.
Easy launching and landing have been a feature of MAC PARA gliders for years. The EDEN 7 follows this tradition.
All aspects of the gliders design have been optimized. The Eden 7 is designed as a semi-lightweight glider. The smallest size weighing only 4.25 kg. The canopy is aerodynamically very clean thanks to the new 3D shaping. The leading edge RFE system, along with trailing edge mini-ribs and the new stabilizer shape, help reduce resistance and increase performance. Shaping panels, diagonal system and line branching - everything was optimized to give the right canopy stiffness, providing stability and pleasant; comfortable flight in active air.
The Eden 7 is made of proven Skytex materials for durability. Skytex 32 Hard finish for all profiles and diagonal ribs. Skytex 38 Universal is used on the leading edge of upper and lower surfaces. Skytex 32 Universal is used for both top and bottom main surface.
The upper lines are made of Edelrid's Aramid / Kevlar material, the lower lines are made of Liros's PPSL series. The risers are made of narrow Kevlar / Polyester webbing and are equipped with high quality Harken ball bearing pulleys. Performance pilots will enjoy the new C-riser stabilization and steering system when flying at high speeds.
Although certified in the EN-B category and showing a high degree of stability, the Eden 7 is not suitable for beginners and occasional pilots. It is designed for intermediate or more experienced pilots who already have experience with intermediate gliders. The Eden 7 is intended for ambitious XC pilots who will appreciate the more relaxed and stress free mode of flying.
Finally, the most difficult part. How to choose the right size and choose the colour design? Regarding the colour; you must decide according to your own preferences, but with the choice of size you can ask your dealer or MAC PARA for advice.
The EDEN 7 is available in sizes 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 33.
Serial designs: The main base colour designs are named BLUE, WHITE and LIME. Special designs: You can choose from a wide variety of colors for an additional fee.

The Eden 7 is manufactured using the paragliding industries well established lightweight material with excellent durability; Skytex 32, from Porcher Sport (NCV). For the supporting and diagonal ribs we use Skytex 32 Hard with “hard finish” coating E29A. This gives the advantage of a sail that is both lightweight and very durable.
A connoisseur’s wing, this new EN B+ is a dream machine, says Marcus King. It’s hard to believe that the Eden is in its seventh incarnation. The Eden has been a popular wing in Mac Para’s range since the early days, with the first Eden released back in 1998. The latest version was unveiled at the Kössen testival in July last year, but it wasn’t until this winter that we got our hands on a review wing.

This is the brand's sport B level wing (as a progression EN B wing, there is the Illusion). Its performance clearly places it at the top of the "B high" wings, but its accessibility is worthy of a mid-range category. This is not the first time we have found it, a sign that some manufacturers are managing to improve their performance while tempering their machines.

In this large EN-B category, many manufacturers are really making huge progress to deliver us quite interesting gliders, and it's becoming silly to always write positive reviews, but i surely recommend test flying that one! No dull feel under it, rather than an educational one. It’s like flying a calm higher rated glider with an impressive performance package.
