Flexibility

The single most important advantage of the Wings Tandem system is flexibility.

Canopies: Happy with your Icarus tandem canopy?  Feel more secure under a SET-400? Don't want to give up your Sigma 340?  With Wings Tandem, you choose your own canopy.  As long as the rigger assembling your rig approves, you can put your preferred tandem canopy in our rig.  

As a bonus aid to you, Wings Tandem has jumped and packed a variety of makes and models of tandem canopies, and lists them on our website, along with our impression of how they pack and fit into our gear.  Your rigger can use this as a guide to get the best fit for your equipment.

Comfort

The design of the harness/ container closely matches high-end backpacks. Wings Tandem places much of the weight high and on the tandem instructorís hips, rather than hanging the weight from the shoulders. More comfort means less instructor fatigue.

After opening, the top anchor points of the student harness run forward to the shoulders, which place the student in a comfortable seated position. This not only eases pressure on the studentís chest, it also helps the student lift their legs for landing. The telescoping, adjustable leg pads allow the instructor to position the leg pads in just the right place.

Toggles: Want to save your arm strength and use dual steering/flare toggles? Prefer the simplicity of a single set of toggles? With Wings Tandem, you can change to your preference in a moment.

Centered Drogue Attachment

The drogue attaches to the tandem pair with something every skydiver knows well, the durable and reliable 3-ring release. The drogue is anchored through the container between the main and reserve to the tandem pairís center of gravity. This central attachment allows a comfortable, slightly head high droguefall position.
