Proven Design
In the field for over 40 years with no major recalls. With over 43,000 rigs built, today's Racer is a product of a deliberate and careful evolution.
We've introduced more safety innovations than any other parachute company. You can’t go wrong with a Parachute Labs Racer on your back.


Freefly Friendly

Practical, Asthetic & Comfort Features
Leg Pads are constructed with closed cell athletic foam that will float, don't absorb water and don't degrade over time as as does the foam used by most other manufacturers. An optional metal hook knife can be included. Stainless steel hardware is an extra cost option. Available with metal hook knife.




Maintenence Free Teflon Cutaway Cables
In 1997, Parachute Labs introduced the first Teflon coated cutaway cables. These were just like the familiar yellow Lolon-coated aircraft cables, but had a distinctive red coating. The aircraft cable inside was the same, but the coating was a custom Teflon formulation specifically made for this application. After extensive testing, these Teflon cables were found to reduce cutaway actuation forces by an average of 50%. This is a significant reduction. In 2010, a new formulation of this Teflon cable was developed, and the cables are now orange in color. Another advantage of the Teflon cables is that they are maintenance free. Did you know that you have to oil your yellow Lolon-coated cables every month? You do, and you should! This is not required on a Racer.

Custom Fit, Custom Sizes
With the Racer’s huge number of available container sizes, you can get a rig that’s made exactly to your specifications. Do you want a container that fits a larger reserve than your main? No problem. At Parachute Labs we tailor the fit of the harness to your body then we select or design container sizes to fit your canopies. There are over 100 different container size combinations already designed and built (some major manufacturers offer as little as 15 or 16 inflexible rig size combinations). This huge selection makes for a comfortable rig regardless of what canopy combinations you want to put in it. 

Embroidery Options
This is an example of the SST Swoosh Logo embroidery that appears on the side of your Racer. You can choose
up to three colors, however, most customers make it two colors as in the red and blue example on top.
