OR-Series Operational Reserve

• Is rated to an all up weight (AUW) of 355-490 lb (161 – 222 kg)

• Is HAHO & HALO capable of 35,000 ft (10,668 m) MSL

• Has similar flight characteristics to CPS 9-cell main parachutes

Reserve Canopies

The Operational Reserve (OR) is an advanced 9-cell elliptical ram-air design that fully compliments the Military Silhouette (MS) main parachutes in size, glide performance and landing capability. The OR’s operational weight limits are also higher than a comparable 7-cell reserve in the same size range.

The OR reserves were designed to meet the high demand for tactical 9-cell reserve canopies that support various airborne opertions for solo jumpers outfitted with full combat equipment. Following years of development and refinement, the Operational Reserve in its varous sizes has passed the strength tests and cutaway standards according to TSO-C23d requirements.

The OR-Reserves passed a series of proprietary evaluation tests for opening characteristics, flight stability, overall handling and landing performance. The result is a reserve canopy that exhibits performance parallel to the CPS 9-cell main parachutes. Your mission will not be compromised in the event of a main parachute malfunction.
