ASCENT
Lightweight Wrist Mounted AUDIO VARIO
(link to manufacturers home page)

Designed for Paragliders and Hang Gliders but equally at home in club,
rental and other gliders without on board panel mounted audio variometers installed.
Audio variometers are a must for soaring safety allowing the pilot to not only maximize his or her soaring but at the same time allowing them to simply hear when the glider is in lift or sink and keep their eyes off the instrument panel and outside looking for traffic and searching the sky for signs of the next lift or dangers.
