NOVA - PENTAGON LIGHT

INFORMATION FROM MANUFACTURER WEBSITE

STABILITY THANKS TO PENTAGONAL DESIGN

The shape of the PENTAGON Light is self-stabilising: if the parachute experiences a pendular impulse towards a corner, then the restoring force will automatically act in the opposite direction. Opposite a corner is an edge, where the airflow is significantly different. This counteracts the dreaded oscillating effect. The resulting pendular stability is excellent.
Fast and reliable. Five corner vents assist fast inflation in the opening phase. Opening is faster and more reliable than with conventional parachutes. Inspired by round canopy parachutes, the design of the PENTAGON Light utilises an adapted reefing system. This slows a parachute from opening too rapidly. The very low sink rate is 5.2 m/s for size 85.

WEIGHT-OPTIMISED LIGHT VERSION

The PENTAGON Light weighs on average approximately 300 grams less than the PENTAGON and therefore represents its significantly lighter version. Thanks to its low weight and small packing volume, the PENTAGON Light is perfect for hike & fly (competitions).
Please note: due to its extremely lightweight construction, the PENTAGON Light is not suitable for repeated deployments with water landings during SIV/pilotage courses. The PENTAGON Light must be checked by an authorised workshop after each use.

UNCOMPLICATED PACKING

A prerequisite for quick opening is that the parachute is packed regularly. The PENTAGON Light is quick and easy to pack. The base and centre lines are all the same length and equal distance from each other. They are also colour-coded. This means that the risk of errors during packing have nearly been eliminated.

ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT

The ultimate in lightness. Designed for hike & fly, climb & fly and vol biv, ultra-lightweight products are built to be as light and compact as possible. To achieve this, we use the lightest materials and technologies available - but never at the expense of safety! For the longest possible enjoyment of the product, we recommend particularly careful handling of the equipment.

The canopy of the PENTAGON Light is made from Dominico 10D parachute fabric, the lines are Edelrid Restrix and Liros DC 120 and the risers are made from Liros D-Pro.
