====== Loops ======

In the following overview you'll find a set of loops that can be done to adjust the trim of a paraglider.


==== Open ====

<alert dark>{{ :loops:open.png?200|}} Standard setting on your line with no loop; some checkcenters also call this a single loop.</alert>


==== Single Loop ====

<alert dark>{{ :loops:single.png?200|}} Some checkcenters also call this a double loop - means that the line is looped once compared to the open state.</alert>


==== Girth Hitch ====

<alert dark>{{ :loops:girth-hitch.png?200|}} Also known as Cow Hitch, Larks Hitch or Anchor Knot; for details see also [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow_hitch|Wikipedia]].</alert>


==== Double Loop ====

<alert dark>{{ :loops:double.png?200|}} Line looped twice around the maillon or soft link.</alert>

==== Girth Hitch Plus ====

<alert dark>{{ :loops:girth-hitch-plus.png?200|}} On side of the girth hitch is additionally looped around the maillon or soft link.</alert>

==== Pile Hitch ====

<alert dark>{{ :loops:pile-hitch.png?200|}} The length change for the Pile hitch is very similar to the Girth Hitch Plus. It is for most wings easier to fit it over the maillon or soft link though. For details on this loop, see also [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pile_hitch|Wikipedia]].</alert>

==== Girth Hitch Plus Plus ====

<alert dark>{{ :loops:girth-hitch-plus-plus.png?200|}} This knot is done similar like the Girth Hitch plus, only that both sides are looped another time around the maillon or soft link.</alert>

==== Pile Hitch Plus ====

<alert dark>{{ :loops:pile-hitch-plus.png?200|}} The length change for the Double Pile Hitch is very similar to the Girth Hitch Plus Plus. It is easier to fit on the maillons or soft links though.</alert>

==== Double Pile Hitch ====

<alert dark>{{ :loops:double-pile-hitch.png?200|}} To see how it's done, also compared to the Pile Hitch see [[https://knots.neocities.org/pilehitch]].</alert>
