Swift Plus

Item: Swift Plus 
Manufacturer: Para-Flite   (1272 Hits)
   

Description:
It's a fact: most jumpers simply don't focus as much attention on their reserve canopy as they do their main. Fortunately Para-Flite does. They've always considered safety to be the most important consideration in a ram-air reserve. So you can be sure that the Swift Plus is built to open quickly, cleanly, and on heading. But the Swift Plus offers even more: speed, maneuverability, and a gentle touchdown. It's no surprise that the 7-cell Swift Plus is one of the most popular reserve canopies in the world!

Swift Plus Reserve
Rated by: sundevil777 (more about me) on 2003-10-16 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:798

Pros: price (for those still on the shelf)
Cons: not made any more

I've got a jump on both the 200 and 225 sq.ft. versions, both loaded at about 1.1 lb/sq.ft. Great openings, and very nice landing flare. Had an Easy stand up landing both times. Made by the original mfg. of square reserves, with lots of kevlar reinforcement tape.

I've only cut away once but it seemed as good as could expect. I walked away from it. After cutting away at 1400' I still had plenty of time to pick a smalll patch of grass to land on. I fly F-111 so it handled similar to the main but landed a little harder.
