Independence Annular EVO – Proven Reliability & Enhanced Safety
The Annular EVO is the high-performance evolution of the classic annular (round) reserve. By incorporating specialized Ram-Air pockets, Independence has achieved incredibly fast and reliable opening times even in low-speed deployments. This series is known for its exceptional pendulum stability and reduced weight, making it a favorite for both paraglider and paramotor pilots.
Advanced Safety Features
- Ram-Air Pockets: These fabric pockets ensure the canopy catches air immediately upon deployment, forcing a faster opening when every second counts.
- Pendulum Stability: The Pull-Down-Apex (PDA) design is optimized to prevent oscillation, ensuring a steady, vertical descent.
- Lighter Construction: Optimized materials allow for a significant weight reduction compared to traditional round reserves without compromising durability.
- Versatile Range: From the lightweight EVO 20 up to the high-capacity EVO 30 for tandem or heavy paramotor use.
