Reserves

A paragliding reserve parachute is a core part of the flying system, not an accessory to add later. The correct reserve needs to be matched to your all-up flying weight, compatible with the harness container and installed so it can deploy cleanly when required.

Cloudbase supplies solo, lightweight, steerable and tandem reserve options from established paragliding manufacturers. Selection should consider certified load, packed volume, deployment system, harness compatibility and the type of flying you do—not simply the lightest or cheapest option.

Reserve age, repack interval and installation all matter as well. If you are building or reviewing a complete setup, see our Australian paragliding equipment guide, browse reserve parachutes or view reserve accessories.
