This model rocket parachute has a preassembled 2-color design intended for model rockets that need more drag than a 12-inch parachute provides but less drag than an 18-inch parachute. Ideal for mid-power, large-body, or payload rockets, it ensures safe recovery and adds visual flair at apogee (the peak point of altitude). Suitable for ages 10+ (with adult supervision for those under 12), this parachute is a key piece of equipment for any rocket recovery kit.Before each launch, ensure your parachute is usable by checking for tears, burns, or warped plastic, and make sure that its shroud lines are secure. Use recovery wadding to prevent heat damage from the rocket model’s engine ignition, and fold the parachute for storage in a dry place to prevent tangling or damage before launch. Always follow the NAR (National Association of Rocketry) model-rocket safety code during rocket kit operations.Estes rocket kits are built from the highest-quality components and designed around the unforgettable experience of pressing “launch.” Our hobby and STEM educational science products range across all skill levels, interests, and power levels. Unleash the space dreamer and science enthusiast in you with an Estes model rocket! From the Manufacturer This 15 in. (38 cm) parachute is preassembled and ready to use on model rockets that require a 15 in. parachute. The perfect size when an 18 in. parachute is too big and a 12 in. parachute is too small. Review: Great replacement for burnt, charred parachutes. - This is the same parachute that comes with the Estes kits so you are going with OEM replacement when you need to replace your chute due to charring or heat damage. You can’t go wrong by going with the original for replacement. Just make sure you go with the same size/color chute you have. The color refers to the size; same color, same size. Great that they are pre strung, the earlier chutes were not. Remember, use plenary of wadding for long life. Review: Great Price! - Didnt Get To Try It Yet, But Great Price! ## Features - RECOVERY PARACHUTE FOR ROCKET MODEL KIT: Estes rocket model kits require a recovery system for a safe trip back to Earth after every launch. This preassembled 2265 15-inch (38-centimeter) Parachute comes ready to help you recover mid-power, large-body, payload, and other rocket types that need a bit more drag during their descent - 2-COLOR DESIGN: The 2265 15-Inch Parachute features a 2-color design to add some style in the sky after your Estes rocket hits apogee (the peak point of altitude). This rocket parachute is intended for use by ages 10+ with adult supervision for ages 12 and under. Always replace a parachute when it appears torn or damaged, and always use recovery wadding to protect it from rocket engine heat. - LAUNCH NECESSITY: Whether you’re working with a beginner model-rocket-building kit or an advanced-level replica, a recovery parachute belongs in every rocket recovery kit. This rocket model parachute is perfectly sized for rockets that are too small for an 18-inch parachute and too large for a 12-inch parachute. - SAFETY FIRST, FUN ALWAYS: Our rockets and rocket launch accessories are designed to be used with the NAR (National Association of Rocketry) model-rocket safety code.

You can’t go wrong by going with the original for replacement. Just make sure you go with the same size/color chute you have. The color refers to the size; same color, same size. Great that they are pre strung, the earlier chutes were not. Remember, use plenary of wadding for long life. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Price! *by M***P on February 22, 2026* Didnt Get To Try It Yet, But Great Price! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Estes 15" Parachute - does what it is supposed to... *by T***S on February 5, 2013* I bought this because one of my parachutes on the Estes Rocket I built melted a bit on one of my launches - that's what happens when you skimp on the wadding!! :-) In the end, this product is as advertised and what I expected it to be, and does what it is supposed to!! I have seen some knock stars of these Estes parachutes here on Amazon because they are plastic and not nylon - first off, if they were Nylon, they would not be $1.99, second these parachutes are not advertised as nylon, so there should be no disappointment. Sure, nylon parachutes are better, but I am putting these in a $10-$20 Estes rocket, and this parachute does the job and is the right price. I might use nylon if the rocket was more $$$. Would buy again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Estes 15" Parachute - Estes 2274 Recovery Wadding - Estes 302264 12 inches Parachute --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2802449-estes-2265-15-inch-parachute-flying-model-rocket-recovery-attachment](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2802449-estes-2265-15-inch-parachute-flying-model-rocket-recovery-attachment) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
