SkyAngle "Classic II".
The Enhanced Classic

The SkyAngle Classic II parachute is built for optimum dependability and ruggedness. Sporting the same sizes, design and lines as the famous Classic series, the Classic II features 1.9 oz. coated ripstop (often referred to as "balloon cloth") and a beefier 1500 lb test nickel plated swivel. SkyAngle's unique extended-skirt design features 3 mil-spec woven tubular nylon suspension lines sewn in a continuous, uninterrupted path outside the canopy. SkyAngle chutes spin but your airframe does not! Complete with a descent rate adjuster, this is the innovative, multi-coloured parachute you've been hearing about and have seen at launches all over the US, Canada and the UK. Includes a FREE Nomex 'chute protector.


SkyAngle "Classic II" Parachutes are:

  • Lightweight - manufactured with 1.9 oz. zero-porosity coated ripstop "balloon" nylon.
  • Strong - 3/8" mil-spec woven tubular nylon (950 lbs) suspension lines around the canopy.
  • User-friendly - only 3 lines to deal with! Size label sewn on outside.
  • Tangle-free - lines attach toHD 1500 lb nickel-plated swivel, 'chute spins during descent!
  • Compact - provides effortless prep and deployment. "How to fold" instructions included.
  • Easy to track - high visibility multi-coloured pattern can be seen in all conditions.
  • Adjustable - heavy duty suspension line lock for customising descent and drift rate.
  • Well-made - quality, hand-crafted workmanship throughout.


You've got a great project. Built right and looking good. A sweet motor is waiting to take it to the sky. You know the rocket weight, and the descent rate it can handle. All you need now, is a recovery system you can count on. Where do you turn?

To SkyAngle, of course.

Because SkyAngle parachutes are engineered and tested for performance in the real world. We've run the numbers. With thousands of successful deployments out there, here's a chute you know will bring your rocket back intact, flight after flight.

(Measurements are nominal. Actual performance and capacities may vary depending upon conditions and from product to product, so be conservative and fly with a larger size when necessary. Use the shroud line stopper lock to adjust canopy inflation which can vary the descent and drift rate.)

Need greater capacity? Check out the new line for the BIG PROJECTS, the SkyAngle "CERT-3" series. They're designed specifically for rockets in the 18-65+ pound mass range!
