Parachute Equipment Insurance

PF 2500

As the descendant of the F-111, it has kept all its advantages but none of its constraints.
Thanks to an agreement signed with the British company The Perseverance Mills, we use an excellent low porosity fabric (0 to 3 CFM) whose resistance characteristics are in accordance with our terms of reference. The agreements concluded with our supplier guarantee a constant supply, something we could not always have with the F-111. Our supplier according to our quality criteria carefully inspects each delivery. Once in our firm, the fabric is checked again and some samplings are made in order to analyse the consistence of the manufacturing process. At last, PARACHUTES DE FRANCE S.A tests the fabric by using an accelerated-aging-process that simulates the erosive and tensile forces generated by repetitive uses.


PF 3000

This fabric, whose formula remains secret, is an exclusivity of PARACHUTES DE FRANCE S.A. It is THE reference in terms of zero porosity fabric. It has been used for more than eleven years and it has proved its reputation on thousands of canopies. The PF 3000 is a very supple fabric whose porosity does not fade with time.
Besides, it has a significant advantage for our clients: the more you use it, the more you pack it, the softer it becomes and the less voluminous your canopy is when packed. Exactly the opposite of this happens with other models that accumulate dust and thus, increase in volume.

Finally, the chemical processing we use on the PF 3000 guarantees a lasting and unequalled slide, jump after jump.
