  1. After numerous incidents concerning the Vigil AAD. one of which involved a good friend of mine, I feel its time to move away from the purely commericaly driven product, that requires no updates or servicing??? and back to a more reliable safety orientated unit.

  2. The Crossfire 2 is in my opinion the best allround canopy on the market!

    I believe It has the best and most consistant openings of any eliptical canopy out there.

    It has a fantastic amount of range and the partialy closed nose makes it feel like your cutting through the air as though your almost flying a cross braced wing.

    It has Soft front risser pressure and is responsive but not twitchy on the toggles.

    This canopy Also has a great speed building dive and a powerfull glide on rears, and a long flare on the toggles. In my opinion this wing should be the choice of pilots who want consistantly good openings, a high level of performance both in full flight and during swoop landings.

    Icarus have created the most ballanced all round high perfomance wing on the market to date, with the Crossfire 2.

    A pleasure to fly!

  3. The Micron is with out a doubt the best container and harness system I have used.

    It's ergonomic design (especialy the contoured yoke) and extra wide leg straps give the flyer unparalleled comfort both in freefall and under canopy. The quality and strength of the materials used to create a micron and its "bullet proof" design create a sense of absolute trust in its ability to function correctly every time.

    Strong, comfortable, reliable, Are three words that I would choose to describe this kit.
