Last stock of a very special stuff: The U-Turn Protect II
The most important feature of a rescue glider is the required opening time. To actualize extremely short time periods, the Rapid Inflation System is applied: The glider uses special bands which cause the canopy and the “basis” not to lie on top of one another but constitute exactly calculated input tension of the air duct. This positively affects the ampleness particularly in the first milliseconds.
Rapid opening, thanks to the Rapid Inflation System (RIS), short measuring and light weight material, minimal sinking rates and broad weight ranges: These are the features of the three new Rescuers by U-Turn. The Protect Nano, the Protect ll RIS L and the Protect ll Ris XL, whose performance features exceed previous systems by far. This is made possible through a new quality fabric, called Paratex RS, that was developed in cooperation of U-Turn and Paratex, particularly for the use in rescue gliders. The Product is a tear-resistant Nylon fabric: with a weight of 40g per square meter it meets the requirement of tearing and tear strength while at the same time maintaining optimal porosity.
