$800.00 – $1,550.00
Maximum safety doesn’t need to be bulky or heavy: the smallest sized Skywalk pepper cross reserve starts at only 990 grams.
This Paragliding reserve is a lightweight cruciform (aka “square”) reserve parachute offering short deployment times, high pendular stability, large surface areas, low rate of descent and minimal side drift. Five sizes cover loads of 55-225 kg, from ultra-light to tandem use.
In the event of an emergency, you have to be able to rely on your reserve 100%. That’s why the PEPPER CROSS LIGHT increases your safety decisively. Thanks to its design, the square rescue chute has a very short deployment time and high pendular stability – two factors that can be crucial when the situation gets dicey. Large surface areas ensure a low rate of descent, and the symmetrical structure helps reduce side drift to a minimum. This means that a stable descent with a pleasant landing is possible. Maximum safety doesn’t need to be bulky or heavy: the smallest sized PEPPER CROSS LIGHT starts at only 990 grams.
All who regularly repack their Paragliding reserve themselves will really appreciate the inner container with its special line compartment. Robust materials ensure that this reserve will remain in top condition for many of years.
Five sizes cover a load of 55kg – 225kg, so you always have the right size with you from ultra-light to tandem use!

What size PEPPER CROSS LIGHT should I fly with?
Check the technical info of the different sizes (90, 110, 135, 180, 225) and look carefully at the maximum load figures. Your all-up in-flight weight (this includes your bodyweight, clothing, boots, helmet, canopy, harness, reserve, instruments and anything else you might be carrying) – should correspond to the maximum load rating. This ensures minimal sink velocities and injury free landings.
What should I observe when fitting the reserve to my harness?
We strongly recommend letting your reserve be packed and fitted by a qualified expert. Ensuring that the reserve is compatible to the harness and correctly attached to the load loops is just as important as having it correctly packed. A correct compatibility check can only be performed with a trial deployment. Check your reserve regularly – flying at costal sites can in particular lead to corrosion problems around the release splints. Only correctly packed and fitted reserves guarantee your safety!
Will the PEPPER CROSS LIGHT fit in my harness?
The inner container volume is clearly marked on all Skywalk pepper cross reserves and must be observed during a conformity check. Most newer harnesses also indicate the minimum and maximum inner container volumes which can be fitted to their deployment containers. Check on the harness itself or in the harness handbook. It is important that the inner container volume lies within the constraints of the harness deployment container volume. Volume information may not be present for older harnesses.
What is a compatibility check?
During a compatibility check a trial deployment is made under the careful observation of a qualified expert. The check tests that the reserve can be easily released from the harness and inner container with the deployment handle. It is most important that nothing obstructs this procedure. Correct reserve attachment to harness load loops and that the reserve is the correct size for the deployment container is also checked. Once all the checks have been made, the reserve inner container needs to be re-fitted to the harness in exactly the same way as before!
