Colours
Standard colourways
Due to dye lot changes in the fabric, coupled with monitor resolutions and inconsistencies, these colours serve as a guide only.
Custom colours
Design your Freya in 3D
Start from a standard colourway or make it your own. Drag the wing to turn it, and flip it over to see the underside — the pattern and the centre emblem are on both surfaces.

Behind the name
Freya is spelled Freyja — literally “(the) Lady” or “Mistress”. In Old Norse, a goddess associated with love, beauty, fertility, war, gold, and seiðr — magic for seeing and influencing the future.
Risk Warning
Skydiving, parachuting, speed flying and paragliding are dangerous activities that can result in serious injury or death. Fluid Wings equipment must only be flown by appropriately trained, current and rated pilots, and must be inspected, maintained and packed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Wing performance varies with wing loading and size — the information on this page is a general guide only. Obtain advice from a qualified professional to confirm a wing is suitable for your intended use and skill level. Fluid Wings LLC does not provide that advice, and this page must not be used to determine acceptable maximum loading (suspended weight) for a wing.
