Some advanced pilots on high-performance canopies like to loosen their chest strap for the course or even take it off completely. To cater for this demand, Sun Path Products have made a detachable belly band that clips onto the lower rings on the front of the Javelin harness/container.
This provides additional security to the pilot if he or she chooses to remove the chest strap. Sun Path products does not recommend the removal of the chest strap on the Javelin series of harness and container systems.
Nevertheless Sun Path decided to provide for the demand from professional swoopers. The CP Belly Band was designed exclusively for competitors to position their bodies parallel to the ground during their swoop runs. The product was launched at the Sun Path CP Open Competition that was held in the beginning of October 2013 at Skydive Raeford, to a very good reception.
The band is available in their standard color selection of 1000D Cordura and Type 17 (1”) or Type 8 (2”) nylon webbing. Javelin Odyssey is embroidered on the band in your choice of original or tenth Anniversary Logo. The band retails for 80 bucks and is available from SunPathWebsite or your local Javelin dealer.
This product is only suitable for competition canopy pilots.
