r-Max
Reserve Canopy
During
recent years our sport has seen freefall speeds increase
significantly with the gaining popularity of headdown
skydiving and speed skydiving events. Now, for the first
time, here
is a reserve parachute that is tested and manufactured
specifically for these speed disciplines. The r-Max
Reserve is made with fabric woven with Invista SolarMaxtm
yarn and constructed
with a framework of our own custom woven Spectra support
tape that is interlaced throughout the canopy for superior
strength and reliability at these elevated speeds. This
network of Spectra support tape is crafted together
in combination with a spanwise reinforcement system.
We have utilized the added strength of our superior
spanwise seam structure and coupled it with a matrix
of lateral load bearing members from one stabilizer
to the other. The powerful chordwise structure of the
upper surface combines with a bulletproof spanwise structure
in the lower surface and all of it is tied together
with our unique line attachment system to produce the
strongest reserve we have ever manufactured, and we
have been manufacturing reserve parachutes for over
20 years. The r-Max Reserve has been drop tested
at a speed of 250 mph with 20% more than the Maximum
Operating Weight Limitation. If you like to skydive
fast, the r-Max is for you.
