In our development, we keep in mind that pilots may need to pack the reserve system, themselves. We have a system of packing loops designed so that the panels fold almost identically to a conventional round backup system. If you can pack round back-up, you can pack our QUATRO LIGHT 160. The fabric finish also remembers the challenges of layers sliding off – the surface is smooth but not slippery, and the pilot will appreciate that when they need to pack the reserve in the field and not the comfort of a gym or workshop.

That’s why we developed the fabric first so that we could then develop a unique product. We had to come up with a new way of weaving and find technologies for new fabric finishes. For the actual design, we used 30 years of experience in rescue system design and the latest manufacturing technology. We build the lines for high precision on a computerized machine and cut the panels themselves on CNC laser cutters. Finally, the skilled fingers of our seamstresses, who have been making parachutes and rescue equipment with us for quite a few years, have taken over and brought us QUATRO LIGHT 160.
QUATRO LIGHT 160 is a light, stable, and reliable rescue system that has experience, innovation and completely original solutions in its DNA. The backup system will primarily serve PPG pilots and hang glider pilots. However, tandem pilots and pilots for whom the traditional 130 kg MTOM is not enough will enjoy it too.
