Ultralight. Ultracompact.

From now on, there's no excuse for flying without a reserve parachute! The TAPA X-ALPS ultralight reserve was specially developed for hike & fly and X-Alps pilots for whom every gram counts. The cross-shaped canopy weighs a mere 784 grams in its smallest size, making it the ideal companion for pilots looking to perfect their lightweight gear.

Further information

The TAPA X-ALPS is symmetrically designed and therefore has no inherent forward movement. This reduces the risk of unpredictable drift and ensures that the low sink rate is achieved through surface movement, not forward motion. Due to its design, the reserve parachute has an extremely short opening time and high pendulum stability. These factors significantly increase your safety during a reserve deployment.

Reliability and durability are ensured by our high quality standards, which are guaranteed through special manufacturing processes and the use of lightweight materials. With careful handling and regular packing, you can rely on TAPA X-ALPS even after many years.
