Low Bulk Fabric
L-ZP is an ultralight 20-denier silicone-coated nylon canopy material engineered for minimal pack volume and enhanced longevity. It’s our low-pack-volume option and enables significantly smaller rig configurations for a more compact and comfortable setup. Unlike conventional non-coated low bulk fabrics like F-111, L-ZP maintains exceptional durability, ensuring extended lifespan without compromising performance.
3D Planform Design
Helium’s planform is meticulously designed to deliver stable, predictable flight characteristics. With optimised shaping for efficiency and ease of handling, it’s the perfect balance of safety and performance.
Optimised Crossports
We've optimized crossport size and positioning to enhance airflow throughout the canopy for even smoother performance. This results in improved stability, better glide, and consistent performance, jump after jump.
Advanced Inlet Design
Helium’s larger inlets provide more efficient pressurisation during flight, resulting in a smoother, more predictable canopy experience with reliable openings.
Redefined Brake Configuration
A finely tuned brake system enhances Helium’s flare power, making landings effortless even at lighter wing loadings. With a deep control range, it’s perfect for building confidence during landing approaches.

I own a gear store and got a Helium209 demo. So I tried it. Absolutely amazing opening. Flew nice and had a sweet flare. Tip toe landing. Incredibly easy to pack. Highly recommend!
