Quantum
Reserves
The Quantum Series Reserves from High Energy are the
most tested and researched reserve available, and the
only reserve made in the United States. External container
sold separately. Mounts in minutes to any powered paraglider.
Developed in 1993
The Quantum parachutes were
developed in 1993 in response to the failure modes
of the more efficient hang glider wings at the time.
Thanks to the incredible work of Bill Gargano, a
new and revolutionary round airfoil shape was born.
Slowest Decent Rate
The Round Airfoil shape
of the Quantum Series produced a parachute that
not only utilizes the traditional drag of the canopy,
but also gives 360 degrees of lift. This lift is
angled in such a way that the inflated parachute
is trying to fly away from itself. This accounts
for the tremendous stability characteristics of
the Quantum Series parachutes as well as the slow
rate of descent, the slowest decent rate in its
class.
Latest
Technology
The Quantum series is constantly being improved as new research results become
available. The latest innovation is a dual riser split riser system, a total
of four risers, two on each shoulder. The result is a decrease in bridal length
yielding faster deployments, directional control, and a lighter reserve package.
Rigorous Testing
Designed and tested to meet
the rigorous standards of the Parachute Industry,
the Quantum Series represents a new generation
in parachute technology.
Paraswivel Option
This option is for single bridal reserve systems. Typically foot launched powered paragliders will use a dual riser system in which case the swivel is not appropriate. Sometimes a single riser system with a paraswivel is more appropriate for wheel launching. Call to discuss this because it depends upon your configuration.
Perfect PPG Container
If you are mounting the reserve
to a PPG, you will need an extranal container unless
your harness has a built in reserve container. The
High Energy container is a side mount, specifically
designed for mounting to a PPG. This container has
four sturdy connection points for extra mounting
security.
