Backup X
With the BACKUP series, U-Turn presents an innovative next-generation line of rescue equipment. The lightweight cross canopy X is built according to the latest development findings and delivers all the design advantages of the square rescue with the sensational weight of just 0.98 / 1.2 kg. The BACKUP X series delivers impressive minimum values not only in terms of weight, but also in terms of the decisive opening and sinking speeds. Elaborate calculations of the canopy shape and air outlets result in virtually pendulum-free flight behavior.
Thanks to the use of the latest high-tech materials, the BACKUP X115 is a lightweight despite its uncompromisingly large surface area. This is crucial for the sink rate and pendulum-free flight behavior. 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 behavior and opening time. As a result, the rescue concept even undercuts the strict EN and LTF certification standards. 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 know-how from traditional parachute production. The BACKUP X100/115 is a versatile all-round reserve aimed at a wide range of pilots. Inconspicuous due to its minimal packing volume and weight, it delivers reliability when it counts. Its small pack size also makes it the perfect choice for alpine pilots with reversible and lightweight harnesses. The Backup X220 tandem rescue is based on the design of the X-Line and is one of the lightest and most compact in its class. The BACKUP X has EN and LTF approval Backup your life! To make it easier for you to reach for the reserve.

Material
Backup: Long-term durability with water-repellent properties
The material mix is designed for long-term durability. The Paratex SX 20 cap material used is characterized by its high resistance and low-stretch properties. An antistatic coating serves as an adhesion barrier, which prevents the fabric from sticking together.
