Independence Trigon – The Simplicity of a Square, the Control of a Steerable
The Independence Trigon is a cutting-edge "Delta" (triangular) steerable reserve. It bridges the gap between traditional round reserves and complex steerable Rogallos. Designed for pilots who want the ability to avoid obstacles in an emergency, the Trigon offers a unique combination of steerable flight and simplified packing that is as straightforward as a standard square reserve.
Active Safety & Precision Engineering
- Steerable Delta Geometry: Allows for directional control and a glide ratio, giving you the power to choose your landing zone and avoid hazards like power lines or water.
- Ultra-Lightweight: Starting at just 1,290g, it is an ideal choice for weight-conscious XC and hike-and-fly pilots.
- Easy Maintenance: Unlike many steerable systems, the Trigon is engineered to be packed similarly to a cruciform (square) reserve, making it easier for pilots to manage.
- High Pendulum Stability: Even without steering input, the Trigon provides a rock-steady, vertical descent with an exceptionally low sink rate.
