Independence Ultra Cross – The Ultimate in Lightweight Safety
The Independence Ultra Cross is widely considered one of the lightest square (cruciform) reserves ever produced. By utilizing a specialized, high-tenacity 10D fabric that is exclusive to Independence, the Ultra Cross achieves incredibly low weight and pack volume without sacrificing an ounce of safety or deployment speed.
The Performance Standard
- Extreme Lightweight: Starting at just 795g, it is the perfect companion for hike-and-fly pilots and those looking to shave every unnecessary kilogram from their setup.
- Unmatched Opening Speed: With opening times as low as 2.3 seconds (on the UC 75), it far exceeds the EN certification requirements, giving you more "usable altitude" in an emergency.
- Simplified Packing: Despite its high-tech materials, the Ultra Cross is straightforward to pack, ensuring reliability every time it's stowed.
- Maximum Stability: Like its sibling, the Evo Cross, the Ultra Cross offers legendary pendular stability, ensuring a steady, vertical descent even in turbulent conditions.
