A Lightweight Version Of The Gin One G Gin Say: "The new GIN Yeti reserve parachute is—like its competitors—ultra-light and ultra-compact, but, it offers 40% more surface area. The medium size weighs only 1.5 kg, yet it offers a surface area of 35 m2 and a certified sink rate of 5 m/sec., at a maximum weight in flight of 100 kg. We all know how a large surface area is important for the safety of a rescue parachute. Gin Gliders’ design brief for this new rescue was lightweight, but without compromising the surface area. 2 years of development and testing were necessary to reach this high standard of technical performance. Yeti 27 (Small) 1.25kg 80kg Max Weight 5.06mps Sink Rate 3.24s Opening Time Yeti 35 (Medium) 1.5kg 100kg Max Weight 5.03mps Sink Rate 3.04s Opening Time Yeti 40 (Large) 1.75kg 120kg Max Weight 5.13mps Sink Rate 3.16s Opening Time Yeti 45 (PPG and light Tandem) 2.03 kg 150kg Max Weight 5.25m/sec sink rate Yeti 50 (PPG and light Tandem) 2.6 kg 180kg Max Weight 5.2m/sec sink rate Yeti 60 (Tandem) 3.1kg 220kg max weight 5.2m/sec sink rate S+W Verdict: "Nice compact reserve that promise a good descent rate if the worse happens. As light on our scales as Gin quote (1.54kg for the 35) excluding Y bridle."
