The APCO range of reserve parachutes is famous for its unbeatable record of life-saving deployments, with not a single failure in its 40 years on the market!

Now, we are proud to add the latest addition to the range – the Mayday Square.

The advantage of the square design is that it gives a more stable descent (less pendulum effect), and therefore has a lower sink rate!

The Mayday Square is compact in size and weight, making it both the lightest Mayday in our range, and our highest rated gr/kg rating at 9.16 grams for each Kg of load @120kgs.

This makes it a very attractive package for pilots concerned about the weight of their kit.

The Mayday Square is certified to EN standard at 100 [kg] with sink rate of ~5.4 [m/s].

In addition, the Mayday Square has been successfully load tested to 120 [kg] with sink rate of ~5.6 [m/s]. This option is for cases where higher load is required (Paramotor) at the expense of a slight increase in sink rate.

It is currently available in one size, with a short dyneema bridle, for Paragliding or Paramotoring.
