SKY SPARE and SKY SYSTEM

Hundreds of test openings have allowed Sky Paragliders to become one of the leading companies in the development and manufacturing of rescue parachutes for paragliding. Beside its own ranges of safety systems, Sky Paragliders developed a full custom made range of emergency parachutes for Sup'Air and is offering the same service to other paragliding companies worldwide.

SKY SPARE Do not spare on safety !
The Sky Spare is a top quality rescue parachute made out of the best materials available on the market. The use of SO80 zero porosity fabric from Porcher Marine helped to reach an outstanding low sink rate with very a small surface.


The small surface and the resultant low weight of the Sky Spare rescues is not only a decisive advantage for the everyday comfort of the pilot, it is also a "must" safety wise as it is well known that the smaller a parachute is, the quicker it will deploy.

The Sky Spare is a classical round shaped parachute with centre line. We have opted for the simplest concept as the best guarantee for a flawless reliability.


In order to improve the safety of the Sky Spare, we also cared about avoiding all possible mistakes during the (re)packing process. Folding loops are sewn on the top of the canopy. The panels that have to be sorted out on the right or on the left have two different colours. The two upper and the two lower lines are also clearly differentiated by a coloured strand.

Materials
Fabric: 9024 zero porosity double calendaring fabric from Porcher Marine
Lines: 12 strands lines out of Nylon 6.6


SKY SYSTEM The economy class rescue.

The Sky System rescue models have well proven their reliability over the last four years. Tenth of openings in real flight conditions have shown that the Sky System parachutes offer an ideal compromise as far as quick opening an good sink rate can be concerned.

The use of more affordable materials as well as a more simple manufacturing have given especially good value.

Materials
Fabric: URIAS low porosity single calendaring fabric
Lines: 10 strands lines out of Nylon 6
