Supair SHINE: High-Efficiency Round Rescue Parachute
The Supair SHINE represents the new generation of Pull Down Apex round parachutes. Engineered by Supair’s in-house design department, the SHINE was created for pilots who want the reliability of a traditional round canopy with the modern benefits of reduced weight and packing volume. By using advanced 20-decitex fabric and a full Dyneema line set, the SHINE is 15% to 20% lighter and more compact than standard light parachutes, without the premium price tag.
Proven Design, Modern Materials
The Pull Down Apex (PDA) design is one of the most reliable and proven configurations in paragliding safety. The SHINE refines this classic shape with cutting-edge materials. The Dyneema lines offer incredible strength and weight savings, while the MJ 20-decitex fabric ensures the canopy is both robust and easy to pack. This combination ensures a stable descent and a sink rate of less than 5.5 m/s, meeting the highest safety standards.
