Supair X LITE: The Ultimate Ultra-Light Rescue Parachute
The Supair X LITE sets a new standard for Hike & Fly safety. Designed for pilots where every gram counts, this ultra-light square rescue parachute offers a remarkable combination of minimal weight, compact volume, and high passive safety. With its innovative square design and advanced materials, the X LITE provides exceptional pendulum stability and a smooth, controlled descent.
Patented DYNALINK Innovation
Developed in partnership with Cousin Trestec, the X LITE features the patented DYNALINK riser. Unlike traditional static risers, DYNALINK uses elastic deformation to absorb a significant portion of the opening shock. This clever energy dissipation reduces the stress on the entire parachute structure, allowing Supair to use high-tech, lighter fabrics while still passing rigorous certification tests with ease.
Simplified Packing & Safety
A rescue is only effective if it's maintained. The X LITE is engineered for "obvious bending"—featuring color-coded lines and clear folding markers on the panels. This visual system makes the packing process quick and intuitive, ensuring you can confidently maintain your gear. The square geometry naturally resists the pendulum effect (oscillation), resulting in a safer and more stable sink rate compared to traditional round parachutes.
Key Features
- Featherweight Performance: Starting at just 741g (Size 80), it’s almost invisible in your harness.
- Extreme Compactness: A tiny 2.02L volume (Size 80) leaves more room in your bag for other gear.
- DYNALINK Dynamic Riser: Patented technology that absorbs opening energy and protects the parachute structure.
- Square Design Stability: Offers superior pendulum stability and a smoothed airfoil for a lower sink rate.
- "Spider Web" Stress Distribution: An innovative panel assembly that redirects forces toward the edges, preventing single-point failure.
- Quick-Pack Markers: Color-coded lines and folding indicators for simple, error-free repacking.
