OPTIONAL EXTRAS
Pivoting in the same position as the jumper, this harness provides increased movement and keeps the jumper secure. Our Articulated Harness is the perfect choice for those looking for maximum comfort, flexibility, and security on their next rig.
Our Adjustable Harness offers the most comfortable and secure fit, allowing each skydiver to adjust the harness so that the container is positioned securely in the correct position.
The RSL ensures fast deployment of the reserve parachute. Our RSL is designed to meet the latest standards of the British Parachute Association (BPA) and is approved for use by student and A Licence skydivers.
Our T.D.S Riser Dive Loops are perfect for experienced skydivers looking to perfect their canopy control and swooping skills. The design provides wider access to the Louie loop, enabling the jumper to quickly and effectively control their canopy.
Alcantara is a premium synthetic material that combines the look and feel of suede with superior performance. It is more durable, stain resistant, and easier to maintain than traditional suede. It features an extremely soft touch and luxurious finish, making it perfect for a variety of applications. Alcantara is the perfect choice for those who desire a high-end look without compromising on performance.
Alien Skin is a light weight and durable material that provides an enhanced asthetic look to your container. Also known as Diamond Back, this fabric is perfect for those looking to add a unique touch.
Contrast Stitching is a premium finish that is perfect for adding even more customization to your rig. This ensures even the stitching located upon the binding tape pops.
Custom Embroidery is the perfect way to add a personal touch to your container. Our design service offers up to 15,000 stitches on the Yoke or Ring Cover and an option for a 25,000 stitch design upon the sidewalls. Make your container stand out with a unique design and show your style.
Our Hacky Sack is made of leather and comes in a variety of vibrant colors. It is a durable alternative to the Free Fly Pad.
Anti Twist Housings are designed to prevent the cables getting locked in place during excessive twists, which may otherwise prevent a cutaway.
Our Split Colour Rig is the perfect choice for anyone looking to add an extra level of customisation to their new rig. This option offers the opportunity to really stand out by splitting the colour of the left and right side of most components on the container. Get creative and make your rig one of a kind with our Split Colour Rig.
