The Quatro Light: a rescue parachute for paragliders
Lightweight and compact, essential features for paragliders
The Quatro Light is a rescue parachute designed for both experienced paraglider pilots and occasional flyers. Its lightness and compactness make it an ideal choice for paragliders looking to minimize the weight of their equipment, without compromising their safety in the event of an emergency.
The design of the Quatro Light rescue is based on a 30 g/m² fabric with high tensile and tear strength, above-average Aspect ratio at break and perfectly controlled air permeability. The particularly light, low-porosity fabric enables a low sink rate to be achieved with a reduced surface area. This rescue parachute is therefore smaller and lighter than a standard rescue, and tends to open faster.
What's more, this rescue is available in a range of sizes to suit all PTVs. Note that size 160 is designed for tandem flights.
A balance of features: the key to designing a rescue parachute
When designing a rescue parachute, a balance of features is essential. Too much weight can make the parachute difficult to transport, while low strength can compromise its reliability in an emergency. That's why Quatro Light has been specially developed using high-performance fabrics such as Nylon 6.6, 22 dTEX to achieve the right balance between lightness and strength. What's more, these fabrics have been specially developed for the Quatro Light.
Safety first - a rescue parachute as life insurance
Ultimately, a rescue parachute is like life insurance or a car airbag. You're in no hurry to use it, but when you do need it, you need to be able to rely on its reliability. The Quatro Light is designed to meet this safety requirement while providing an enjoyable flying experience for paragliders.
