Skywalk PEPPER CROSS LIGHT: Ultra-Lightweight Safety
The Skywalk PEPPER CROSS LIGHT is an ultra-lightweight square reserve parachute designed for pilots who demand the highest level of safety with minimum weight and bulk. Whether you are a Hike&Fly enthusiast or a tandem pilot looking to save weight, the PEPPER CROSS LIGHT provides rapid inflation and extreme pendular stability. Its symmetrical construction prevents system-induced forward motion, ensuring a stable, vertical descent even in difficult conditions.
Advanced Square Technology
The square design of the PEPPER CROSS LIGHT offers significant advantages over traditional round chutes. It opens faster—especially in low-speed deployment scenarios—and effectively eliminates the oscillation (swinging) that can lead to high impact speeds. By utilizing premium lightweight materials and specialized manufacturing techniques, Skywalk has achieved a remarkably low weight (only 990g for Size 90) and a tiny packing volume that fits perfectly into modern lightweight harnesses.
Tandem and Solo Versatility
Available in a wide range of sizes, the PEPPER CROSS LIGHT covers everything from solo lightweight setups to professional tandem operations. The larger 180 and 225 sizes provide the same rapid-opening and high-stability benefits for tandem pilots, ensuring a safe backup for both pilot and passenger at a fraction of the weight of conventional tandem reserves.
