If you’re parachuting from 30,000 feet into enemy territory, performance is non-negotiable. To freefall from this height is to withstand speeds of more than 200km/h and temperatures of -46°C (-50°F). Only the bravest can endure. Only the best equipment will do. And, when it comes to parachute lines, only Teijin Aramid can provide the necessary strength, durability and dimensional stability. It’s why, for HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) jumps, special forces use equipment reinforced with our Technora® para-aramid. Because when you’re racing toward the earth, you better be sure.
