After more
than a year of testing, the engineers at Sun Path Products Inc, are proud to
release the Javelin "Odyssey" harness/container system. In keeping with the
tried, tested, and proven reliability of the world-famous Javelin, the
Javelin "Odyssey" takes comfort, strength, performance, and fashion, to a
new level.
Since it's
release at the PIA Symposium in 2001, we continue to re-design and research
new developments to make the Odyssey even more comfortable and freefly
friendly! Check out our team page to see the top freefly teams in the world
jumping Javelins.
Who's Jumping Odysseys?
The
"Odyssey" has been tested under the FAA TSO category C 23 (d), meaning that
it has been drop tested to weights in excess of 300 lbs. The new rig
features longer riser covers, eliminating any exposure of the main or
reserve risers, but not hindering the opening characteristics of the canopy.
New
"anti-twist"
technology main risers, incorporating plastic riser tube inserts, are
featured on this container. The tubes are of a composition that meets, or
exceeds, the test conditions required by the FAA TSO.
The advantage of
plastic tubes is that they can be "crushed" in a car door/trunk, and
continue to function. The new "Odyssey" also features the Oetiker clamps,
which clamp the release and reserve housings in place, thus eliminating the
need for hand tacks. The Odyssey also features the new
"D style legpads" which offer padding under the hip ring and
don't move down during sit-fly maneuvers.
The
"Odyssey" touches you where no other rig can with its new
"cut-in" backpad
(the lateral straps exit the backpad closer to the center of the main
container, instead of at the corners). This feature of the Javelin "Odyssey"
allows for the lateral strap to contour around the lower back, keeping the
container snug against the jumper. The jumper and Javelin "Odyssey" move as
one. High-speed free flyer, competitive formation skydiver, or weekend
warrior, the Javelin "Odyssey" stays snugly in place. The Javelin "Odyssey"
features a new quilted-look, extra comfortable backpad, affording
unsurpassed luxury while sitting in the plane or waiting for your load.
The
Javelin "Odyssey" also features split leg straps as standard. By splitting
the webbing, and making the leg strap wider, the weight of the suspended
jumper is dispersed through a larger area, providing exceptional comfort
under canopy.
The
Javelin "Odyssey" is available in new
"space-age"
durable fashion fabrics, previously unavailable to the general public. These
new fabrics have been tested for over a year, before officially debuting on
the 2001 Javelin "Odyssey". These new "space-age" fabrics include a
leather-look fabric, available in black, navy, green, and brown. The
colorful "houndstooth", a checkerboard pattern, is available in a variety of
colors. Also new to the market, is our "Diamondback" fabric, which is a
ribbed parapack fabric, where the ribs are in the shape of diamonds. The
"Diamondback" is available in six different colors. We will have a limited
supply of a funky "hologram" plastic fabric, which will be available for the
pop-top and midflaps. Promotional material, and fabric samples, are
available from your dealer.
