15. Structure of the parachute

The parachute structure is square and has, depending on the model 16 or 20 gores (see “technical datas”)

The canopy is made of tear restistant, high strenght nylon fabric. The main seams are flat fell seams and are reinforced by 
a band. The lines are sewn to the canopy and reinforced with V-tapes at the canopy. The crown is pulled down by the 
center lines. All lines and center lines are connected to the bridle.
The bridle has a strength of more than 2400 daN. Hang gliding models only differ from paragliding models by a longer 
bridle.

Standard deployment bag:

The deployment bag is made of nylon fabric and gets closed 
at three points.

On the flat side of the deployment bag are four loops. At one of these loops the release-handle of the outercontainer or the 
harness is to be attached.

The outercontainer is made of robust, water-repellent nylon fabric. It consists of 2 lateral flaps, the upper and lower flap, the 
release-handle with 2 pins, which close the container.

2. Separate the lines left and right the center lines (marked 
yellow) and check that they are not crossed and running 
free.

16. Packing the parachute

3. Separate canopy and lines to the left and right that 
panels marked with 1 are on top, panels no 9 (Evo Cross 
160: 10) on the bottom.

4. Hook in packing cord. Bundle the lines, stretch the lines 
by fixing the bridle on the other end and put the canopy to 
the left side.

5. Place panel 9 (Evo Cross 160: panel 11) centered to the 
the floor and arrange panel 8 (Evo Cross 160: panel 10) to 
the side.

6. Arrange the upper part of panel 8 (Evo Cross 160: panel 
10) to the side.

1. Slide on the packing loops on a line (packing cord). The 
packing loops are colored to find them more easy. At the 
corners they are green, yellow on the sides. Slide on 3 
yellow packing loops in between the green ones (Evo Cross 
160: 4).

Optional deployment bag:

The deployment bag is available as an option if a smaller 
packing volume is needed. The construction is a hybrid 
of a cloverleaf and a pocket container.
