Reserve
Buy from these trusted stores

The Smart reserve combines more than 30 year of experience in the parachute industry and incorporates the latest 7-cell technology. Thousands of real life cutaways and landings are testimony to the quick and reliable openings, the solid flight performance and the powerful landing flare.

The construction of the Smart uses high tensile strength 0-3 cfm low porosity ripstop fabric, spectra suspension lines and ample reinforcement tapes. Extra strength is obtained through the use of lateral reinforcement tapes between the line attachment points as well load distribution tapes that radiate from the steering line attachment points.

All this has resulted in a reserve parachute that will withstand the shock loads related with today’s higher freefall speeds and still offer acceptable opening forces for the jumper. It also offers amazing glide performance for a 7-cell, which greatly improves one’s chances to reach a favorable landing spot.

Another safety aspect of the Smart is the relatively long toggle stroke. This reduces the risk of an unwanted stall during the landing flare, a phenomenon often observed with other designs. As a matter of fact, our engineers have built flight characteristics into the Smart that are similar to those of today’s main canopies. This helps a nervous jumper to handle the situation and make a safe landing.

Following subjection to the most severe tests and the auditing of our production facilities, the Smart is certified under the US FAA TSO-C23d and it meets the standards of the European ETSO-C23d.

With this reserve on your back you will do better than just look Smart!

  • One of the few reserves approved under the latest TSO-C23d. It also meets the standards of the European JTSO.
  • Tested far beyond the requirements for deployment weight and speed.

  • Peace of mind packed into the smallest possible container.
  • Available in a large range of sizes.

Well built
Very hard to pack

I cannot comment on the performance of the canopy in flight as I have not flew one. However, from a rigging point of view, this canopy is a nightmare. I just bought a new Smart LPV assuming that it would compare to the Optimum and I was extremely disappointed. I own a optimum 143 and love it. It is by far the easiest reserve to pack and has the lowest pack volume of any reserve I've packed. I got a Smart LPV 110 a month ago and had very hard time getting it in the container. After finally getting it in, I packed 2 more into 2 different brands of cantainers and they all gave me trouble. I am an experienced rigger with over a thousand reserve pack jobs and I usually can pack anything. Very disappointed with this reserve
