The NOVA PENTAGON Light is a cutting-edge ultra-light emergency reserve parachute for Paragliding, distinguished by its innovative five-sided pentagonal canopy design aimed at maximizing pendular stability and minimizing sink rate.

This design feature contributes directly to safer, softer landings, especially under turbulent air conditions or at low deployment altitudes.
