In order to increase tracking performance even further, Phoenix-fly has designed the PF Track Jacket. This jacket features the same ram air technology used on the pants. The jacket sleeves have air inlets and will inflate during the jump, providing better balance between the jumper's upper and lower body during a track in which the PF Pants are used. Therefore, even better tracking performance is possible, approaching performance levels that have been achieved with basic wingsuits models. As with the PF Pants, the Track Jacket does not restrict the jumper's freedom of movement in any way during the jump. The Track Jacket could be also worn as a non-jumping garment, as it is very comfortable and fashionable to wear. Made of Z/P material with a built in hood, it will provide excellent rain protection. Jacket has two large pockets designed to be easely accessable whether you are wearing the rig or not.

Thats an awesome poem - one of my all time favourites. I hate the way people seem to forget the sacrifices made for us - 2 years ago I saw some kids steal a collection jar from a remembrance day poppy seller. It was just pocket money to them... nothing special about it, just another person to rip off... Thanks to all those who have served, and to those who continue to do so.

lmao... I can promise you that the people in HR were laughing at it as well, but unfortunately as soon as a complaint is made, in this case against you, they have a procedure to follow. It is perfectly plausible that if this guy thought your behaviour was 'threatening', or perhaps more likely, told HR that it was threatening just to get even, that HR must skip the 'verbal warning' stage and give you a written one straight off the bat. Bottom line? Everyone has a giggle but you're on thinner ice now... don't do it again or your co-worker can fuck you up. nice reply though....

And you didn't think we could improve on the most popular composite helmet in skydiving… The GUNER from BoneHead Composites (Pronounced like "GUNNER") is the most recent addition to the BoneHead family of products. One of the first things you'll notice about the GUNER when you first put it on is how quiet it is. The next thing you'll notice is the smooth curves and smooth styling of the helmet shell finished off with a Fastex buckled chin strap and leather covered chin strap. We listened to our customers and developed the GUNER to meet all of your expectations. You wanted semi-flexible, smooth curves, quiet and enough room to put at least 2 audibles on the inside of the helmet.... AND YOU GOT IT with our new GUNER helmet! The GUNER comes standard with BH's ingenious Thermal-Fit liner, Fastex chin-strap closure and the great finish quality that you have come to expect from BoneHead.

Take me to the top... or even to the side... or both! The OPTIK from Bonehead Composites features some of the great technology developed by BoneHead. Looking for an open-faced helmet to bolt all of your cameras to? The OPTIK is the simple answer. We made the OPTIK to be a great all around camera helmet with the ability to mount cameras either on the side or on the top or BOTH! The OPTIK also features a small lip on the back side of the side camera mounting platform to help deflect "Riser-Strike" and to help prevent the accidental loss of your camera, and the ability to put 1 or 2 audible altimeters on the inside of the helmet and not have to worry about them sailing off in freefall. Whether you mount your camera on the top or the side or both, the OPTIK is a great camera helmet setup regardless of what flying position you are in! The OPTIK comes standard with BH's ingenious Thermal-Fit liner, and ratcheted chin-cup. The only things the OPTIK doesn't come with is your creativity, D-Box and cameras! All of this aside... the most noticeable improvement on the original Optik is the double secure Jaw-Bone closure.... which is very similar to the way that a Flat-top Pro closes in the back... but the Optik Illusion utilizes the technology in the front for more camera stability in an open-face style camera helmet. Closing the Jaw-Bone is quick and easy and is fortified with dual ladder strap locks for added security against bumps, 3-ring pops and riser strikes. We have also included as a standard feature BH's jump-tested cut-away handle and assembly... just in case! Whether you mount your camera on the top or the side or both, the Optik Illusion is a great camera helmet setup regardless of what flying position you are in! The Optik Illusion comes standard with BH's ingenious Thermal-Fit liner and cut-away assembly. The only things the Optik Illusion doesn't come with is your creativity, D-Box and cameras!

The Evolution Inversion is a wrist mount altimeter. It measures 2 ½ inches at the bottom and tapers in to 2 inches at the top and weighs 4.3 oz. This altimeter comes standard with a 1 1/2 inch wide double overlapping wristband. It also has Free Fly friendly warning zones, and a counterbalanced movement. After hearing concerns about the accuracy of a mechanical altimeter when it is inverted, we put together a series of tests to compare readings of our Evolution altimeters in various orientations. The altimeters we used in the tests did not show any noticeable difference, and were consistent, regardless of orientation (when they were in a positive pressure environment, not in a burble). However, if you apply theoretical gravitational influences to the design of the movement, you could conclude that the reading could be influenced, however minutely, by orientation. Since relative workers use the majority of altimeters, this has not been a concern because the goal is to stay in a horizontal position. As a result of testing and research, we have come up with a solution for the issue. The Inversion altimeter, the first mechanical altimeter designed for free flying, features a counter balanced movement. The counter balancing of movement components eliminates any theoretical gravitational influence that may affect the reading consistency when inverted.

The Evolution Stainless is for the jumper that is looking for that extra something. CNC machined from 304 Stainless Steel and polished to a mirror like shine. The Evolution Stainless is a hand mounted altimeter. It measures 2 ½ inches at the bottom and tapers in to 2 inches at the top. It is 1 inch tall. You will feel as though you are wearing a 6.5 oz. Rolex. The Evolution Stainless comes standard with a hand mount. You can choose from three different o-ring sizes, large (standard), medium, and small.

The Evolution II is a large, 3-inch faced, chest mounted altimeter for students, instructors, or whoever wants a large faced altimeter. This large altimeter is different from others due to the way the user zeros the needle before a jump. We use the same inner adjusting housing as the Evolution I to adjust the needle. This eliminates any knobs that are sticking out from being rubbed or snagged. The face with its large bold numbers and a contrasting needle creates an instrument that allows the operator an easy reference to which they can visually compare with in order to determine their location to the ground. The Evolution II comes standard with a pillow mount. Pillows are available in different colors which are Black, Blue, Yellow, Gray, and Red. * Custom fabric pillows can be made at no extra charge given the fabric supplied by the customer. The lens is a standard screw in type as to allow the user to replace it themselves.
