Gin Yeti UL reserve ultra light parachute

The Gin Yeti UL is an ultra light planar reserve, a new type of rescue that offers maximum safety performance in the smallest ever package. It’s The Planar UL is Gin's lightest and most compact reserve parachute, ideal for hike ’n fly.

What is a planar reserve?

A planar reserve parachute is a new concept of rescue developed in-house by Gin Gliders, made possible by our new anti-billow rib technology. The Gin UL Lines are attached to triangular ribs deployed in a cross shape. This greatly reduces the billow of the canopy and produces an almost flat upper surface. As a consequence, the projected area is increased by 30%. This means excellent sink rates are obtainable with a lower flat area and packing volume. Overall, the efficiency of this new system is the best we’ve ever experienced.

Stable descent with no drifting

During the development we took extra care to optimise air channelling to ensure no drifting of the rescue during descent. As the basic canopy shape of the Gin UL is still square, the descent is notably stable.

Rapid and smooth opening

The design of the Gin Yeti UL canopy profile, the packing procedure and the lightweight fabric all contribute toward excellent opening characteristics.

The Gin Yeti UL is available in 3 sizes at the moment.
