First, we want to say thank you and congratulations on diving into the exciting world of skydiving. It's fantastic to see your training paying off and also your commitment to excellence!

​

Thomas Defence Systems has been manufacturing parachute equipment since 1969, providing gear for everyone from students to international athletes, military personnel, and even A-list celebrities. Previously Thomas Defence Systems traded under the name of Thomas Sports Equipment. With 55 years of experience, we’re eager to share our knowledge with you as you embark on this journey. We understand that starting a new sport can be daunting, but we're here to offer the highest standards of customer care—remember, no question is too small.

​

When designing this system, our focus was on usability. We believe that skydivers should learn one set of procedures and be able to use them consistently as they advance in the sport. The Student Zerox system makes parachuting easier to learn, with the deployment handle, reserve ripcord, and breakaway handle all located in the same positions as in our more advanced systems, the ‘Teardrop’ and ‘Panthera.’ This ensures that the emergency procedures learned on your first jump will remain consistent throughout your skydiving career, making the transition from student equipment to advanced gear seamless.

​

The Student Zerox is a piggyback harness and container system designed for freefall sports parachuting. It comes in a variety of container sizes to accommodate nearly any main or reserve canopy on the market today. One of our key innovations, the 1-Pin Pop Top Reserve Container, enhances safety and ease of packing.
