Redefined simplicity, enhanced performance
The iconic G-Lite has been reengineered. Now designed as a square, planar rescue, the G-Lite 2 features a 5-apex line configuration instead of a single centre line. This new geometry, combined with a minimalist panel layout, delivers lower packed volume, improved sink rates and stable, pendulum-free descents — all thanks to Planar rescue technology.
What is a planar rescue?
A planar rescue is a new concept of rescue developed in-house by Gin Gliders, made possible by 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.
