Raider Hi-Glide™

HAHO PARACHUTE SYSTEM

The Hi-Glide™ was developed with the objective of offering a specific HAHO (High Altitude High Opening) mission canopy for special operations.  The exceptional flight performance characteristics of the Hi-Glide™ have been obtained by combining state-of-the-art main and reserve parachutes, the RAIDER-2™ Harness Container and paraglider design techniques. The result is a docile-handling parachute with the highest glide performance in the world.

The Hi-Glide™ Canopy has been selected by the U.S. Marine Corps as their special application parachute for missions requiring increased standoff.
