With the BACKUP series U-Turn presents an innovative line of reserve parachutes
of the newest generation. The light-weight cross canopy X100 is built in accordance
with the newest development findings and provides all constructional advantages of
the square reserve parachute with a sensational weight of only 0.98kg.
The BACKUP X100 not only provides impressing minimum values at weight but also
at the vital opening and sinking rates. Through elaborate calculations of the cross
canopy shape and air outlets it results in a flight behavior that is almost completely
free of pendulum movements.
Thanks to the usage of state-of-the-art high-tech materials the BACKUP X100 is a lightweight despite its un-
compromisingly sized surface area. This is vital for the sinking rate and the stable flight behavior. Efficient air
inlets - in combination with the pre-tensioning at the base edge through Rapid Inflation System (RIS) - com-
pensate for the surface area at filling behavior and opening time. Therefore the reserve concept was able to
undercut the stringent norms of the LTF certification.
And also during the processing cutting-edge manufacturing methods at highest safety standards are applied.
That is the result of the long standing manufacturing-know-how from the traditional parachute production.
As another novelty the BACKUP X100 is equipped with the Easy Connect. That is an innovation by U-Turn
that drastically simplifies the mounting of the reserve. Through an integrated soft-link the main bridle of the
BACKUP RX can be connected with any junction neat and easy.
Maximal best values through minimal factors:
The material-mixture is aimed at long-term durability. The used canopy material Paratex SX 20 is charac-
terized through high resistance at low elongation features. An antistatic coating avoids the layers to stick
together.
The BACKUP X100 is a versatile all-round reserve parachute that is aimed at a wide pilot profile. Inconspi-
cuous through minimal pack volume and weight it provides reliability when it is required. Through the small
pack size it is also the perfect choice for alpine pilots with convertible and lightweight harnesses.
The BACKUP X100 is LTF certified. Backup your life!
