Reserve Repack

Bozeman Paragliding Verified independent store

It is recommended to have your reserve repacked once a year. Frequent repacks often expose and correct problems with your reserve, handle or deployment system that you never knew y ou had. Issues with "velcro lock," your pin or pins, handle slack, dirt and moisture are problems that are commonly exposed and resolved during a repack. In addition, if a reserve is stored and flown in the same position for too long, it will have less of a tendency to open quickly when you need it. We recommend sitting in a simulator (which can be improvised with two ropes of equal length from a tree branch or beam) and doing a practice deployment before sending us the reserve. This may expose deployment problems with your harness. There is no need to throw the reserve after it is out of your harness - the intention of the practice deployment is to see that your reserve will come out of the harness when needed. We have a simulator available if you're in the area. Bring or send your reserve, diaper bag and handle to Bozeman Paragliding, and we'll have it repacked within a few days. Show more
