Tandem reserve parachutes

A tandem reserve must carry pilot, passenger and both harnesses, typically up to 215–220 kg all-up weight. It mounts in the tandem pilot harness and connects to the spreader bars or the pilot's main attachment, depending on the system.

What to look for

• Certified maximum load above your heaviest tandem flights
• Packed volume that fits your tandem harness container
• Connection type (Y-bridle) matching your spreaders
• Robust materials for frequent repacks

Choose between a classic round tandem reserve and a lighter, slower-sinking square tandem.

Our picks
