The first three Covert's arrive downunder!

More Covert pics to enjoy!!
The back end of the business!


Even comes with both custom deployment bags, quite heavy fabric though.

The harness is starting to fill out to a nice shape and mould to my bodies lumps and bumps.
I have now packed both chutes in the harness and when the bloody rain stops I may actually be able to test fly this thing. The build quality is 1st class quite obviously  built to handle a terminal chute deployment and then some. The sizing is spot on, so what you ask for you will get, if you want a loose fitting XC harness add 1/2" in length and width, if you want an all out racing harness Jeff Shapiro will make it so, room for you and your speed sleeves! The twin chute setup makes the harness hook in around 2kg more, but has added safety and a more symmetrical look than most harnesses. The boot detail is awesome in the way it moulds the composite plug ( with carbon fibre hatch), and I also love the neck/shoulder gasket, complete with it's own mini zipper. The main zipper is held with four layers of Velcro, therefore adjustable and replaceable during the middle of that all important competition where there never seems to be an industrial sewing machine handy. I will try and upload more pics and write something more once I have flown it..

The reflector is the handle for the drogue chute.


This harness is basically a rock climbing harness in disguise.

Look at that CLEAN carbon booty.
