The Angel

Everyone needs an Angel… even though no one really wants to use theirs. However, the fact is that when the time comes, the most important factors are safety and stability with a low sink rate for a gentle and controlled descent. The Angel 140 is certified to 140kg, meaning that even a pilot with a total in-flight weight of 140kg will have a stable descent of near or less than the tested result of 5.24m/s, and most pilots will have a slower descent with this size. The high stability and low sink rate, coupled with its affordable price and light weight make it a safe and popular choice for pilots of all abilities.

When it comes to stability and safety in round reserves, there is no substitute for surface area. For that reason, both sizes of the Angel are “big”, while still very light, and provide plenty of margin for the weight ranges they are certified to carry. In its two sizes, the Angel covers all pilot weights up to 140kg (total suspended inflight weight, including reserve). It is certified EN and LTF to the EN 12491 and LTF 91/09 standards. The Angel is available in 2 options: Y bridle (for harnesses with no bridles) and Short Bridle (for harnesses with integrated bridles).

Specifications

Bridle configuration: The Angel’s Y bridle (1.4m) attaches directly to the shoulder attachment points of your harness. No maillons are included (your harness will need to be fitted with 2 square or trapezoidal maillons, one for each shoulder attachment point). For more info please see the user manual.
