Our lightest and most compact rescue everThe Yeti UL is a planar rescue, a new type of rescue that offers maximum safety performance in the smallest ever package. It’s our lightest and most compact rescue, ideal for hike ’n fly.

As the basic canopy shape is still square, the descent is notably stable. Rapid and smooth openingThe design of the canopy profile, the packing procedure and the lightweight fabric all contribute toward excellent opening characteristics. What is a planar rescue?A planar rescue is a new concept of rescue developed in-house by Gin Gliders, made possible by our new anti-billow rib technology. Lines are attached to triangular ribs deployed in a cross shape. This greatly reduces the billow of the canopy and produces an almost flat upper surface. As a consequence, the projected area is increased by 30%. This means excellent sink rates are obtainable with a lower flat area and packing volume. Overall, the efficiency of this new system is the best we’ve ever experienced.
