Octagon 2 Niviuk rescue parachute

Octagon 2 Niviuk rescue parachute: the light rescue

For many pilots, the rescue parachute is an essential and compulsory part of their flying equipment. Choosing one is no trivial matter. Thanks to our collaboration with Vital Parachutes - a leading brand in the design and manufacture of parachutes - the Octagon 2 is one of the most advanced and safest parachutes on the market, thanks to its innovative and distinctive octagonal design. The latest innovations, for the best chance of saving the pilot's life

Unrivalled innovative design

The revolutionary octagonal design offers the best emergency solution for the pilot: a smooth, controlled descent with great stability. Its unique shape guarantees rapid opening, maximizing the pilot's chances of rescue. What's more, the Octagon2 is lightweight, easy to integrate into a container and discreet to wear.

Direct descent without oscillation

The octagonal design features an ingenious stabilization system that gives a rate of oscillation of between 0 and 5º - well below the current average rate of between 10 and 15º. With so little oscillation, the pilot avoids the pendulum effect during descent, and the risk of accelerating the fall is limited. Without doubt, the Octagon2 is one of the most stable parachutes in the world.

A smoother return to the ground

When it comes to returning to the ground, it's the most important thing. The Octagon2's octagonal design, large aerodynamic surface area, reduced pendulum effect, minimized mirror effect when the glider is still open and excellent braking effect, make the Octagon 2 a parachute with an excellent sink rate of just 4.8 m/s, which considerably limits the shock of returning to the ground.

Packing the parachute is easy, thanks to folding toggles

Folding the parachute is quick and easy. The Octagon 2 features a folding process based on the integration and use of tourniquets, a system that ensures good ergonomics and real efficiency when folding the parachute after use or regularly for ventilation and elimination of static electricity.

In short, the Octagon 2 offers maximum safety and reliability in an emergency situation, thanks to the innovative octagonal design that raises its performance to the highest level. With the Octagon 2, innovation and technology save your chances.

Available in six sizes: 80 (S), 100 (M), 120 (L), 140 (XL), 170 (XXL) and 215 (tandem).

Warning for your safety: square parachutes require great respect for the manufacturer's packing method. We therefore recommend that you have your rescue repacked regularly only by a specialist store or an experienced professional.
