The COMPANION SQR (“Square Round”) introduces a completely new generation of reserve parachute; it combines the advantages of the classic round canopy and the more modern cross principle. A new COMPANION RESCUE SYSTEMS brand is a Joint Venture of EVOTEC and ADVANCE.

While both paraglider and harness developments have been making great strides recently, the reserve industry has become quieter since the inventions of the steerable reserve and the cross canopy. That situation has now changed. Together with Hungarian partner EVOTEC, ADVANCE now launch the new COMPANION reserve brand. The COMPANION SQR is the first model, and it heralds a new game-changing generation of “Square-Round” reserve parachutes for paragliders.
