Detailed description
"Rid'Air Team's Opinion: The Donut is a true hybrid revolution. It combines the pendulum stability of a square reserve with the simple packing of a round reserve. Its compactness and featherlight weight make it one of our favorites for all types of flying, from hike & fly to cross-country."
AirDesign Donut: The Best of Both Worlds (Square-Round Hybrid)
The AirDesign Donut is a new-generation "hybrid" reserve parachute. Its innovative shape offers a projected surface area superior to conventional models, resulting in an exceptionally low sink rate. Its unique design allows for ultra-fast opening and exemplary pendulum stability, eliminating the dreaded swinging effect often experienced during deployment.
One of the Donut's major strengths is its ease of maintenance. Unlike some complex square reserves, the Donut packs as simply as a classic round parachute. This is a significant advantage for pilots who wish to air out and repack their equipment themselves.
Available in four sizes (90, 100, 120, and a specific Tandem version), it uses high-end materials (Dominico 20D fabric) to ensure maximum lightness without compromising strength. Weighing only 870g for the 90 version, it will go unnoticed in your harness until you need it.
The Donut comes with its pod (deployment bag). Ensure the reserve's volume is compatible with your harness compartment.
