Skywalk TAPA X-Alps

Skywalk TAPA X-ALPS: The Ultimate Ultralight Rescue

The Skywalk TAPA X-ALPS was developed with a clear mission: to create the perfect rescue parachute for Hike&Fly and X-Alps pilots who refuse to carry unnecessary weight. This ultralight square rescue weighs in at a vanishingly small 784 grams in its smallest size, removing any excuse to fly without a backup. It combines high-end materials with advanced square technology to deliver a safety system that is as light as it is reliable.

Symmetrical Design for Maximum Stability

Unlike some lightweight reserves that rely on forward motion to achieve sink rates, the TAPA X-ALPS is symmetrically constructed. This design eliminates system-related forward drift, reducing the risk of being carried into obstacles. The low sink rate is achieved purely through the large surface area of the canopy. Its construction also ensures extremely fast opening times and high descent stability—critical factors that significantly increase your safety in the event of an emergency deployment.

Ultra-Compact and Durable

With a packing volume starting at just 2.0 liters, the TAPA X-ALPS fits easily into the most compact Hike&Fly and race harnesses. Despite its light weight, Skywalk's high quality standards and specialized processing of premium materials ensure the TAPA X-ALPS remains a durable and dependable safety partner for years to come.
