Intro
Everyone needs an Angel… even though no one really wants to use theirs. However, the fact is that when the time comes, the most important factors are safety and stability with a low sink rate for a gentle and controlled descent.
The Angel V2 is the universal budget solution for pilots who want safety and easy packing.
In its three sizes, the Angel V2 covers all pilot weights up to 140kg (total suspended inflight weight, including reserve).
The Tech
Although light, the Angel has been fully optimised for safety and reliability rather than weight. When it comes to parachute construction, weight saving often compromises safety – for example thinner, lighter line sets can and do fail in certain deployment configurations due to friction cuts.
The Angel is available in 2 bridle options: Y bridle (for harnesses with no bridles) and Short Bridle (for harnesses with integrated bridles).
Materials and Certification
The Angel’s materials have been chosen for optimum durability and damage-resistance for a greater margin of safety, even in the most extreme situations. For instance, polyamide lines have been selected as they offer the best elongation and burn resistance properties.
The Angel is certified EN and LTF to the EN 12491 and LTF 91/09 standards.
In Flight
When it comes to stability and safety in round reserves, there is no substitute for surface area. For that reason, all sizes of the Angel are “big” in terms of surface, while still very light, and provide plenty of margin for the weight ranges they are certified to carry.
