Octagon

Octagon

The Octagon is one of the most advanced and secure rescue parachute on the market. Due to its octagonal shape, this revolutionary design delivers higher safety levels and more beneficial features than its conventional counterparts.
Extraordinarily steady
It stands out from the rest as the result of its superb descent stability. The oscillation factor of the Octagon is lower by far than what is found out there with all other known models : Octagon: 0-5º / Other brands: 10-15º, thus significantly reducing the descent rate down to 4,9 m/s at maximum load (against 5,3 m/s with other designs) to finally conclude the flight with a softer landing.
Unlike other parachutes, the descent trajectory of the Octagon is virtually straight down, without velocity increase and reason for such great performance.
Ultralight
Another competitive advantage is the Octagon's weight. The materials used to build it were wisely chosen to promote safety and reduce its overall weight : 1.4 kg in size M. It is now possible to have the same minimal weight as other models considered "ultralight", but with one major difference; the surface area in all sizes is bigger then their counterparts (32m2 in size M), hence decreasing the sink rate.
The Octagon is available in six sizes to cover the entire pilot weight range : S, M, L, XL, XXL and tandem.
