The Water Reserve (WR) is a superior conventional 7-cell ram-air tactical reserve canopy designed specifically for the maritime environment. This reserve is an exact performance duplicate of the TR Tactical Reserve canopy, constructed entirely of 1.1 oz 0.5-3 cfm Ripstop nylon. The WR was engineered to complement the Cormorant (CT) Main canopies that support airborne water operations for solo jumpers outfitted with full combat equipment. Fast-drying fabrics and treated lines benefit the logistics of training evolutions that require fast drying times. In addition to docile flight characteristics, the WR exhibits stable performance in challenging environmental conditions and superior landing accuracy. The WR is compatible with the 4-grommet reserve bag deployment systems with or without High-Speed Pilot Chute. The WR has passed a series of proprietary evaluation tests for opening characteristics, flight stability, overall handling and landing performance.
