ITEM #1 MICRO SOFTIE PARACHUTES.

I recently received (3) ALL BLACK Micro Softie parachutes. They all have conventional harnesses. A thread thru chest strap and a B-12 snap around each leg.They were manufactured in Mar of 2023 and are in Like New Condition. They have Preserve III canopies that are rated at 150 KIAS with up to 180 pounds. They were also manufactured in Mar of 2023.They do not come with carry bags. They will need current repacks. New they retail for $3595.00 each. I estimate they have approximately 18 years service life left on them. These parachutes are great for someone of small stature.

DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOS BELOW

 

. 

 

The first (3) photos show a 15 inch Mini which is about 2 1/2 inches thick and the 16 inch is about 2 inches thick, when they are properly packed. The top of the container is where the bulk of the lines are normally stowed. This is the part directly behind your shoulder blades, but it also can be packed at the bottom of the container, for lumbar support. When it is packed with the bulk at the top the of the container, the bottom of the container can be easily squeezed to about 1 inch thick. Vice versa, if the bulk is packed at the bottom of the container, for lumbar support. Packing the bulk at the bottom will move your bottom/butt about 1-2 inches forward, on the seat.

 

The next photo shows an example of the GOLD colored steering handles.

 

The next photo on the left shows the quick release method some pilots like to use for quickly releasing the chest strap. Enlarge the photo by clicking it on and you will see (no more than one inch)

protruding from the metal friction adaptor.

If you use this quick release method make sure you use an

 elastic keeper to hold it in place. The photo on the right shows

the typically method of securing the chest strap. 

 

The next (2) photos shows the 1 inch removable chest strap that comes with each "A" Aerobatic harness that I sell.

 

The next (2) photos show the Quick Ejector snap on the left  They are an upgrade option. The B-12 snap, shown on the right is standard on each parachute, unless you upgrade to the quick ejector snaps.

 

The  next to last photo shows what I call a "Camels Hump". This is a way to temporarily shorten the vertical distance from the shoulder to the waist for someone of smaller stature. It then can be easily shortened and lenghtened back to the way it was.

 

The last photo shows the four colors that the removable sheepskin back pads come in. The dye lots can vary a bit. (Tan, Silver, Dark Grey & Black.
