To our knowledge, the Companion SQR Light 2 once again offers the lightestreserves on the market. 762g for size 80, and 880g for size 100!
The new SQR Light 2 is not only lighter, but also larger. The weight has been reduced by up to 6% and the surface area increased by up to 3%, depending on the size. The minimum sink rate also improves accordingly to up to 5.1 m/s.

* Flybubble note: When comparing the weights of reserves, it's generally best to compare the weight with the inner container since all reserves come with an inner coantiner and so this is what most quote. The weight without inner container is provided purely for reference, in case of transferring the reserve into another container e.g. a reserve handle with integrated inner container which is specific to a harness model, and so this is included in the weight of the harness.
SQR Light 2: The Lightweight Reserve
The SQR Light makes no compromises: As the lightest rescuer ever, the second generation offers even lower sink rates combined with high pendulum stability. It is made from the latest high-end materials, which have been specially optimised for rescues. Thanks to innovative Square Round technology, the SQR Light has an extremely fast opening behaviour.
Due to its low weight and minimal packing volume, it is the first choice of many athletes, including X-Alps series winner Chrigel Maurer. The SQR Light is the ideal companion for hike & fly and hike to fly and is also available as a tandem version.
Features
From 762 g
Uncompromisingly compact and lightweight thanks to optimised choice of material.
Lower sink rate
Despite its lower weight, the surface area of the new SQR Light is larger and therefore the sink rate is even lower.
Newly developed fabric
For maximum water resistance and structural strength, with minimal weight. SQR reserve packing.
Square Round: the best of two worlds
The unique SQUARE ROUND technology heralds a new generation of reserve parachute, merging the advantages of the classic round canopy and the cross version into an innovative and forward-looking product. Countless computer simulations and practical tests have been an essential part of the extensive development process. The result is a reserve with aerodynamically enhanced pendulum stability, trimmed not to track in flight.

SQR technology: modern CFD simulation as an analytical method
All Companion rescue models are based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD*) analysis, which has been verified by a lot of practical testing. At the core of CFD analysis is an iterative system which repeatedly recalculates an analysis of the deformation and strain on the reserve in the air.
This is an important aspect for reserve parachute analysis because their pronounced curvature means they deform a lot. Having our own simulation software and test vehicle means we are able to carry out many numerical CFD analyses, as well as deployment tests. Currently this approach is unique in rescue parachute development.

The production
Companion is a joint venture between ADVANCE paragliders and EVOTEC.
The development of innovative reserve-related products is an ongoing process, always based on scientific findings and the latest development and testing methods. All Companion reserves are manufactured in EVOTEC’s own production plant in Hungary and distributed worldwide by ADVANCE.
