The JYRO Helium takes its roots from the tried-and-true Safire 3. We started with the same dependable planform and reimagined it to meet the demands of jumpers who value efficiency and versatility:
- Our ultralight L-ZP, 20D silicone-coated nylon fabric sets a new benchmark for low-bulk canopies, offering reduced pack volume without compromising durability.
- Bigger inlets and optimised crossports ensure smooth airflow and a stable, predictable flight profile at lighter wing loadings.
- The redefined brake configuration delivers improved flare, giving you precise control on landing at a variety of wing loadings.
This is not just a low pack volume wing; it’s a thoughtfully engineered solution for jumpers who want to maximise their experience in the air and on the ground.
Who should fly this wing?
The JYRO Helium is perfect for jumpers who want the benefits of a larger canopy without the bulk. Whether you’re a bigger pilot looking for a compact rig setup or a smaller jumper who wants more forgiving performance, Helium fits the bill. Skydivers starting their journey will love it for the smooth, easy ride, while progressing flyers can appreciate the reliability, safety, and intuitive handling. Wingload it between 0.8 and 1.4 for the sweet spot, but as always, hit us up if you’re unsure.
