Description
Safety without compromise.
- Maximized potential of square reserves, a big step forward in paragliding safety
- Use of completely new, state-of-the-art light and durable materials, never used before in the industry
- Very fast opening rates (<3sec.)
- Very low sink rate
- Extreme pendulum stability
- Large flat area (m²)
A reserve that has a large volume, quick opening and most importantly – extreme stability during decent and very low sink rate.
The SNOWFLAKE reserve is a square type reserve, un-steerable with 60% closed angles without an opening on the center. It consists of 4 center lines with big elongation in the upper gallery which leads to the main attachment point with the other lines. For the main loop we have used our covered dyneema riser made out of rip-stop material for protection.
Our container is based on the well tested CROSS – one point principle, with our innovation of a special sleeve for neat packing of the 1.7mm Liros New age Dyneema lines. This ensures a quick and safe reserve opening, without the danger of entanglements, but also very easy packing. We have also integrated a special sleeve in order to protect the short part of the lines that are outside the reserve container.
Developed in 4 sizes, each one developed as a unique reserve (not just scaled down). As most manufacturers make very “hard” packed and compact reserve packages, we come to a problem that due to the use of paragliding equipment in different times of year and changes in temperature – which leads to condensation and sticking of the panels to each other, resulting in a “rock-like” reserve when thrown in emergency – which can noticeably impact the speed of opening, and in our sport every second counts. On a first glance, a package of 28x26x7cm would seem large compared to the competition, but this is a result of a wise decision not to stress the reserve package and pack it too tightly, compressing the reserve – which noticeably improved the opening time and enabled the reserve to fill with air extremely fast.
