Why KARE
The square reserve parachute represents a modern evolution in emergency parachute design, offering enhanced performance and safety features for paragliding pilots. It combines the safety of traditional designs with the benefits of modern technology, for faster, smoother and more controlled emergency descents.
Faster opening time
Square reserves typically open faster than traditional round models, reducing altitude loss in emergency situations.
Better pendulum stability
Their aerodynamic shape reduces swinging and pendulum motion during descent.
Slower sink rate
A lower descent rate translates to softer landings and reduced impact forces on the pilot.
Directional drift
Limited directional drift allows pilots to steer slightly away from obstacles during descent.
Modern design and materials
Advanced fabrics and construction techniques provide high strength-to-weight ratios and increased durability.
Suitable for all pilots
From recreational flyers to hike-and-fly enthusiasts and acro pilots.
