The PROTECT Family

The PROTECT II RIS and PROTECT NANO (Midget) models are
state-of-the-art reserve parachutes, notable for their very fast but
mild opening qualities. They also demonstrate both a low sink rate
and high swinging stability. They are made of a newly-developed
material which meets the highest strength and loading demands of
the emergency parachute.

Lightweight PARATEX RS TX40 Material

Both models use PARATEX RS TX40 Material, a tear-resistant nylon
weave, with a weight of only 40 grams per square metre. A specific
relationship between warp density and weft creates a cloth that is di-
rectly suited to the special requirements of a reserve parachute. Sing-
le and double polyamide threads are combined, the double threads
being incorporated into the weave in a sophisticated way. This results
in an extremely light fabric of high strength, and longevity.

PROTECT II - Excellent opening due to RIS

The Rapid Inflation System (RIS) keeps opening time to an absolute
minimum. Special bands around the base of the canopy take up an
exact bending tension. When the parachute is folded, the top band
creates air channels which start the filling process in the first split
seconds of deployment, significantly aiding opening behaviour. De-
spite the fast initial opening, the bands also ensure an exceptional-
ly damped canopy deployment, keeping shock loads on the pilot and
equipment to a minimum. The PROTECT II RIS comes in L and XL
sizes.

PROTECT NANO - Light and small

The PROTECT NANO is a very small and extremely light reserve pa-
rachute. The clever tailoring of the canopy provides both a low sink
rate, and low swinging qualities. It opens very quickly because of its
small size. This parachute is ideal for those pilots who demand mini-
mum weight and size from their equipment. As such the PROTECT
NANO comes in one size only.
