CutawayCableHousings
Ourflexiblehousingsarethefirststepinpreventinghardpullsduringcutaways.Theupwardfloatallowanceprovided
bythesehousingssignificantlyreducesthelikelihoodofnearimpossiblecutaways.Withoutupwardfloat,premature

loadingoftheriserloopisalmostacertainty.Thiswouldleadtotheyellowcutawaycablebeingpulledupandthrough
thehousingendbytheloop.

ExternalRiserCovers
TheseMagneticrisercoversutilizethemostsuccessfulpocketdesignonthemarket.Yearsofextensiveresearchand
development
(andthousandsofjumps)withBabylon,Synopsis,Voltaireandourin‐housetestjumpersresultedinthis
superiordesign.Itistheultimateinriserprotection.

SecondaryRiserCover
Eveninthehighlyunlikelyeventofanexternalcoveropeningduringfreefall,thesecondaryrisercovermakesit
virtuallyimpossible
forariserortoggletoescapeuntilthemainpinispulled. TheVector3istheonlyrigonthemarket
toofferthislevelofriser/togglesecurity.

MainPinProtection
Themainpincoverflapisintegratedintothe#1closingflapandtucksupwardsintoitself
formaximumprotection
againstexternalforces.Similar“tuck‐up”systemsarenowbeingimplemented inrigsaroundtheworld.Boththemain
andreservepincoversaredesignedtoconformbettertothecontainer.Thisergonomicdesignhelpseliminate
protrudingcornersoredgesthatcancatchondoorjambs,bulkheadsorother
suchobjects.

ReservePinProtection
Thereservecoverflaputilizesthreetucktabstoremainvirtuallyimmovable,withoutinterferingwiththereserve
activationprocess.

AbsoluteZeroBridleExposure
TheVector3,configuredforBOCorPull‐outdeployment,virtuallyeliminatesbridleexposureandtheneedforVelcro‐
typefasteners
onthebridlecord.

PocketedCorners
Boththemainandreservepacktraysutilizepocketedcornersatthebottomofthetray.Thisservestoensure
optimumbagpositioningduringdeployment,helpingtoprotectagainstbagtumbleorspinasitleavesthecontainer.
Thecornerofthemaintrayalso
servesasapocketforthemainbridle,virtuallyeliminatingbridleexposure during
freefall.

Tru‐LokToggles
OurnewTru‐LoktoggleeliminatestheneedforVelcrofasteners.Thisdesignutilizesastainless‐steelpintosecure
eachtoggleinplaceonthemainriserwithoutinhibitingthejumperfrom
releasingthetogglesafterdeployment.
