VECTOR OPTIONS

Everybody’s different, and we love that. That’s why we offer a number of options for your brand new Vector 3 to make sure you get a container as unique as you are.

*Please note – When previewing colors, they may vary from one screen to another.  The colors also appear different in certain lights and may vary slightly between rolls of fabric.  Though we work hard to manage this, we cannot guarantee that the colors on screen will match exactly what they are in person.

We use several different materials to construct your Vector, and we try extremely hard for the colors to match between these materials.  This is not always possible, with some colors being harder to match than others.  *Currently purple and brown have been an issue, with a less than ideal color match between cordura and trim tape.

Cordura Swatches

*Please note neon colors are susceptible to fading *Kryptek Corduras (Mandrake, Highlander, Typhon and Raid) all have KRYPTEK logos “ghosted” in fabric that cannot be removed or replaced and are completely random within the pattern.

Contrast Stitching

All containers come standard with binding tape stitching matching the color of the binding tape. With contrast stitching, it is sewn with a contrasting color of your choice to add some flair to your container. *Please contact us for available colors.

JC Stitching

Random stitch pattern sewn on some of the cordura panels. The stitch patterns vary by container, so each one is unique! *Please contact us for available colors.

Center Flap Piping

Add a bit of detail to your center stripes by breaking them up with piping!

Black Hardware

Give your rig a stealthy look with black hardware!

Back Pad

Standard Deluxe Backpad

The Standard Deluxe Backpad is our standard option. It has padding underneath a layer of Cordura. This is our least bulky option, in comparison to 3D spacer foam and and Babylon options where additional padding is sewn on top.

3D Spacer Foam Backpad

Adds comfort and breathability with a multi-piece padded mesh design. This feature is also added to the leg pads.

Babylon Backpad

The benefits of 3D spacer foam, with the durability of cordura. Babylon uses the same padded configuration as the spacer foam option, but has a cordura covering to protect from dirt and wear.

Harness

Variable Geometry Harness

Also referred to as VGH, or hip rings, gives added flexibility and range of motion by allowing the harness to hinge at the waist.

Two Piece Leg Pads

Contoured for comfort, our two-piece leg pads are sleek and trim to keep your leg pads snug against your body in even the fastest flying positions. The two-piece leg pads are only available with the Variable Geometry Harness.

One Piece Leg Pads

The one-piece leg pads wrap all the way around your leg and have padding between the hip hardware (if VGH harness) and your body. One-piece leg pads are available on both VGH and non-VGH harnesses.

Rolled Edge Leg Pad

Sewn with a reverse seam, to add cushion and increase comfort while in the air and while on the ground. Rolled edge leg pads are available on both the one piece and two piece leg pads.

2 Off The Top

For those with smaller legs or anyone who wants their hardware a little higher up. We offer -2 off the top. This option reduces the short, front part of the leg pad by 2 inches.

Leg Pad Covers

Whether you’re having trouble standing up landings or you just come in way too fast and standing up isn’t an option. Check out our new leg pad covers. We have them available for one piece, two piece, student, tandem, and tandem passenger leg pads.

Stabilizers

Standard Stabilizers

Rigid stabilizers sewn to the main lift web.

Padded Stabilizers

Foam padding on the standard hard stabilizer for added comfort. Foam can either be mesh, or cordura covered. Available only with the spacer foam or Babylon style backpads.

Soft Stabilizers

Padding wrapped directly around the harness webbing, the soft stabilizers add one more level of comfort by removing the hard outer material. This allows for the stabilizer to be a bit more flexible and to hug the body better.

Risers

Large Ring w/ Type 8

More commonly used on student gear or parachute systems with larger canopies (220 and above).

Type 17

Type 17 risers with Mini Rings are the most widely used option with sport harnesses.

Louie Loops

Reinforced front dive loops for ease of grabbing your fronts! All of our risers come standard with front dive loops, but Louie Loops take that one step farther allowing the loops to be more pronounced and easier to grab.

Louie Loops Low Drag

Looking for that extra speed and distance? Low drag risers help you get there by reducing the surface area, thus minimizing parasitic drag. Louie Loops are included with them.

Reserve Deployment

Soft Handle

Soft, low profile pillow handle.

Metal “D” Handle

Standard metal handle

Mini “D”

Metal D handle, but the height is reduced to accommodate shorter main lift web, or just personal preference.

Low Profile “D”

Metal D handle that does not protrude as far as the standard D to reduce the risk of being snagged, while still allowing you to hook your thumb into it when pulling.

RSL

Connects your reserve pin to your main risers, so when your main is cutaway, your reserve pin is automatically pulled.

Skyhook

Is a MARD (main assisted reserve deployment), which is an enhancement to the RSL that extracts your reserve canopy from the bag significantly faster than a standard reserve deployment by using the main canopy as the reserve pilot chute.

Spectra Ripcord

Spectra is extremely strong and is also retractable, allowing for more force when deploying your reserve. Only available with a Skyhook or RSL.

Metal Ripcord

Standard ripcord

Main Deployment

Stowed Bag

Standard rubber band stowed bag with stows on the closing flap.

U-Stow Bag

Semi stowless bag option with pocket for stacking the lines into.

V-Stow Bag

Similar to the U Stow, but the V stow allows for the pocket to open up to easily fold the lines in.

F111

Provides less oscillation during deployment.

ZP

Provides quicker extraction during deployment.

Plastic

Lightweight and easy to grab.

Hackey

Can be either standard hackey, or with freefly tab (as shown) for added security at an additional cost.

Monkey Fist

Can be either standard monkey fist, or with freefly tab (as shown) for added security at an additional cost.

Freefly

Low profile with an additional tab for extra security.

Dual Tuck Tab FreeFly

Low profile with two additional tabs for extra security.

Wingsuit Specific

Dynamic Corners

Folding corners on the main tray that allow for the tray to open completely flat allowing for a smooth deployment.

Wingsuit Bridle

Longer bridle to allow the deployment bag to get fully out of the burble of the wingsuit when deploying.

30″ Pilot Chute

Larger pilot chute for faster extraction from the main tray. Please specify on order whether you would like ZP or F111.

1
  • -1 (DASH ONE) wingsuit specific sized container, (check the canopy sizing chart) to make sure. The -1 (i.e. v314-1, v316-1, etc.) sizes are built specifically with wingsuiting in mind. They are longer containers which have a lower profile against your back for maximized aerodynamics, and an easier reach for wingsuit deployments. 
2

Custom stabilizers –

these are the cordura-covered soft padded stabilizers. These are built from the edges of the container, like UPT’s standard laterals are, however without the rigid piece. The cordura provides an extra layer of protection for the webbing when rubbing against the suit. Note: if you select Babylon backpad, the laterals will be cut-in slightly on the edges of the lumbar piece instead of outboard, as comes standard with this package

3

VGH (variable geometry harness) – Otherwise known as hip rings, VGH allows articulation in the hip joints. Overall, for any style of flying, whether it be wingsuiting, free flying, FS, hip articulation helps to give you more mobility.

4

2 piece narrow leg pads – these low bulk leg pads allow for more comfort and mobility around all of the extra material of a wingsuit.

5

WS pilot chute and bridle + V stow semi stowless bag – 30” pilot chute with a longer bridle, to help clear the large burble caused by the wingsuit and allowing for an easier, cleaner opening. Along with a semi stowless deployment bag for cleaner, smoother deployment.

6

Dynamic corners – these folding corners allow the main tray to open completely flat on deployment for a smoother, cleaner deployment. (see photo)

7

Skyhook, highly recommended

8

Standard Deluxe backpad – having minimal low bulk padding helps the rig lay as flat as possible against the wingsuiter’s back, maximizing the aerodynamic performance. Further, the cordura (rather than 3D spacer foam), protects against wear from the suit/zippers/etc.

What to know about ordering Wingsuit Specific Options: If you are interested in ordering the “wingsuit options”, just have your dealer include custom details in the special instructions on your order form. Below is a detailed list of what options you will likely want, as well as descriptions of why those options were chosen for this application. If there is an option you would like to alter, that will need to be clearly defined in the special instructions as well. Prices will reflect the options selected and is not an “all in one” cost.

What The Pro’s suggest:

  • Dynamic corners- these folding corners allow the main tray to open completely flat on deployment for a smoother, cleaner deployment. (see photo)
  • WS pilot chute and bridle + V stow semi stowless bag – 30” pilot chute with a longer bridle, to help clear the large burble caused by the wingsuit and allowing for an easier, cleaner opening. Along with a semi stowless deployment bag for cleaner, smoother deployment. 
  • VGH (variable geometry harness) – Otherwise known as hip rings, VGH allows articulation in the hip joints. Overall, for any style of flying, whether it be wingsuiting, free flying, FS, hip articulation helps to give you more mobility. 
  • 2 piece narrow leg pads – these low bulk leg pads allow for more comfort and mobility around all of the extra material of a wingsuit.
  • Standard Deluxe backpad – Low bulk with no spacer foam means minimal padding helps the rig lay as flat as possible against the jumper’s back, maximizing the aerodynamic performance. Further, the cordura (rather than 3D spacer foam), protects against wear from the suit/zippers/etc
    • Babylon backpad is also an option Vector WS pilots suggest if the jumper prefers to have some padding
  • Cordura-covered soft padded stabilizers. These are built from the edges of the container, like UPT’s standard laterals are, however without the rigid piece. The cordura provides an extra layer of protection for the webbing when rubbing against the suit.
  • *Note: if you select Babylon backpad, the laterals will be cut-in slightly on the edges of the lumbar piece instead of outboard, as comes standard with this option.

Additional Options To Consider

  • A -1 wingsuit specific size if your canopies allow for it (check the sizing chart)
    • The -1 sizes are built specifically for wingsuiting. They are longer and lay flatter against your back for maximized aerodynamics, and an easier pull
  • -2″ off the top –  -2” off the top is an adjustment to the leg straps that effectively moves the leg strap hardware (friction adapters) 2” farther up your hip. The benefit to this is that the hardware is no longer crowded between your legs when you tighten your leg straps all the way.  Keep in mind this moves the hook knife location to the back of the leg straps… but for wingsuiting, you will want an alternate hook knife location anyway.
