Gin Yeti Cross 2: light square reserve EN/LTf, PLANAR RESCUE TECHNOLOGY BUILT IN

What is a planar rescue?

A planar rescue is a new concept of rescue developed in-house by Gin Gliders, made possible by our new anti-billow rib technology. Lines are attached to triangular ribs deployed in a cross shape. This greatly reduces the billow of the canopy and produces an almost flat upper surface. As a consequence, the projected area is increased by 30%. This means excellent sink rates are obtainable with a lower flat area and packing volume. Overall, the efficiency of this system is the best we’ve ever experienced.

Stable descent with no drifting

The Planar technology features optimised air channelling to ensure no drifting of the rescue during descent. As the basic canopy shape is still square, the descent is notably stable.

Rapid and smooth opening

The design of the canopy profile, the packing procedure and the lightweight 20D fabric all contribute toward excellent opening characteristics.

Reduced weight and packing volume

Due to the Planar technology, the Yeti Cross 2 is 18% lighter than the Yeti Cross 1, and the packing volume is around 20% lower.

Well-considered sizing and weight range

The maximum weight of the Yeti Cross 2 is 5kg more than our ultralight Yeti UL (M and L sizes), meaning pilots close to the limit can still choose the smaller size.

Flat packing

The Yeti Cross 2 is packed in a flat rectangular shape, perfectly matching many harness container shapes.

Simple and neat closing

The Yeti Cross 2 packs with a clean, simple profile. There is also a fabric cover for the lines.
