The Estes Rip Stop Parachute delivers professional-grade performance for hobbyists who want more than a one-time-use recovery system. Each chute is crafted from ripstop nylon, the same material trusted in outdoor gear and aviation, to deliver exceptional strength without added weight.
Durability That Lasts
The unique crosshatched weave of ripstop nylon resists tears, allowing your parachute to survive repeated use and even harsh landing conditions. Whether you are flying small model rockets or large mid-power builds, this material ensures consistent, reliable deployment.
Compact, Lightweight, and Reliable
Designed for efficiency, the Rip Stop Parachute folds neatly into small airframes and keeps overall weight to a minimum. Its heat-resistant fabric also provides extra protection from ejection charge heat, ensuring the canopy stays in great shape after every flight.
