All SLIMFIT parachutes are equipped with an all-flat buckle at the chest strap, that gives the pilot full freedom of movement during the flight.

 

SLIMFIT Mk-4 is a small, flat and compact parachute that sits relatively low at your back.
The container is wedge-shaped, only 1 cm thick at the top over the shoulders and approximately 6 cm at the bottom over your loin.

​

As the container sits low and does not take up any significant space at the top of the shoulders, it allows the pilot to lean his shoulders all the way back against the backrest while providing support in the lumbar region.

​

All SLIMFIT models are equipped with a delicious memory foam back cushion in imitation lamb, which helps to channel air in between the back and the parachute, and thus provide a certain thermo effect during the flight. The canopy is a state-of-the-art FFE-201-D, which is made of
0-porosity ripstop nylon, whose properties ensure the shortest possible opening time.
