Mayday Square – New generation design giving top performance in a compact super-light package. Designed for pilots who wish to keep their equipment extremely light without compromising on safety or performance. Weight reduction is achieved though the super stable design, resulting in a lower average sink rate which allowed a reduction in surface area, combined with using state of the art materials – canopy cloth used is PN9 (the latest, most sophisticated development in parachute cloth), as well as super light and compact dyneema lines, that are stronger than traditional nylon lines used on reserve chutes.
Mayday 16 SLT, Mayday 18 SLT, Mayday 20 SLT – designed for pilots who wish to keep their equipment extremely light. Weight reduction for SLT was achieved by using state of the art materials – canopy cloth used is PN9 (the last, most sophisticated development in parachute cloth), as well as additional weight saving advanced design solutions.

The Rescue Chute was developed after the tragic events of September 11 2001 in New York, in an attempt to provide a last chance of possible escape and rescue from skyscrapers and tall buildings.
In case of emergency, it offers an ultimate alternative to rescue people from buildings in case of fire, terrorist attack etc. when no other way of exiting the building is possible, and people are under clear and present danger. The chute presents a last chance resort of life saving in an extremely dangerous emergency situation.
