SOFTIE Colors and Options

Color Options

 

Customize your SOFTIE with stripes and trim colors to match your aircraft or your own personal taste.


Here are some tips on choosing colors:

  • Remember that darker colors, usually, hide the dirt better.
  • If choosing two colors for the stipe option on the container sections labeled A & C (enlarge the diagram below) it typically looks much better to make them the same color. Of course A, B & C can be different colors.

Harness Options

conventional harness

The adjustable Conventional harness comes complete with B-12 snaps on the leg straps and a thread-thru adapter on the chest strap. Thread-thru adapters are also available on the leg straps for no additional charge, reducing bulky hardware on your legs for aerobatics. Quick Ejector* snaps are also available for an additional charge (see below).



aerobatic harness

The adjustable Aerobatic harness eliminates all hardware on the legs by utilizing a webbing loop at the hip, allowing the leg strap to pass through the loop, cross over, and snap at the chest with B-12 snaps. This popular option has been used for competition aerobatics for many years.
