The IBEX.UL is designed for jumping in the mountains. It is ideal for slider up applications where weight and pack volume are a primary concern.
Taking the profile from the HAYDUKE, the IBEX.UL is efficient and proven. The excellent glide performance is thanks to the clean leading edge and Spectra (UHMWPE) lines. The handling is responsive, and it is forgiving in deep brakes with a low stall speed even at higher wing-loading. It has all the flare you need for high-altitude, technical landings.
The IBEX.UL is 100% CAD-to-Laser produced, and precision built in Squirrel's own production facility. Each parachute is hand-inspected by Martin Tilley of Asylum Designs.

"I am super impressed with the IBEX UL. The first jumps were some of the best on-heading openings I’ve ever had, and then tons of flare power at the end. Perfect canopy! I felt right at home, like my IBEX. (Brandon is jumping the 230, loaded at 0.72)."

"I don't usually chime in here, but as a longtime user of ultralight parachutes, I have to. The IBEX UL has the most progressive and well-tempered slider-up openings of any canopy I have jumped. The flare is plenty and overall it feels very precise and responsive. My preferred size is 230, which I load at 0.80."

"This is the canopy I have been waiting for! It's an easy transition between this and my Hayduke and packs down to nothing. I was blown away by how tiny 250 square feet looks in my CXUL. The glide and flare are awesome but it still feels great in deep brakes. So far all on-headings with smooth yet quick openings on both the Corvid and Sumo2. This will be my canopy of choice for 95% of all my wingsuit jumps."
