Backup QX

130 / 150

With the BACKUP QX series, U-Turn presents the innovation of the cross cap. The new surface division prevents the dangerous scissor position and immediately stabilises the pendulum moment itself. We therefore call it intelligent quarter stabilisation. In addition, the four-part division ensures minimal sinking with minimal surface area and immediate opening times. In combination with the automatic pendulum stabilisation, the lightweight rescuer ensures impressive overall values. The second sink test times after water landing of 5.1 m/s are still within the certification range, but with an additional 10 kilos of weight for each of the specified sizes. U-Turn strives to maximise safety and, as a pioneer of innovation, is also breaking new ground with the BACKUP.  

Thanks to the use of the latest high-tech materials and the new quarter construction, the BACKUP QX is a lightweight with plenty of surface area. This is crucial for the sink rate and pendulum-free flight behaviour. Efficient air outlets - in conjunction with the pre-tensioning at the base edge using the Rapid Inflation System (RIS) - make up for the surface area in terms of inflation behaviour and opening time. This has enabled the rescue concept to undercut the strict EN and LTF certification standards with a payload of 10 kilos. State-of-the-art manufacturing processes are also used during processing in accordance with the highest safety standards. This is the result of many years of production expertise from traditional parachute production.

The BACKUP QX has EN and LTF approval
Backup your life! To make it easier for you to reach for the reserve.

BACKUP QX brings lightness to bear in an emergency. Reliable when you need it - inconspicuously light when you don't.

The material mix is designed for long-term durability. The Paratex SX 20 cap material used is characterised by its high resistance and low-stretch properties. An antistatic coating gives it its water-repellent properties and acts as an adhesion barrier, preventing the fabric from sticking together.
