admin — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 17:27:23 +0000

The twin Stainless Steel blades offer a superior cutting surface to help slice through a multitude of webbings and suspension lines. The mouth opening is set small enough however to help prevent cutting one’s own finger while handling in an emergency situation.

Overall length 6 3/8″ (16.2 cm). Width is 1 1/2″ (4 cm). Depth is 1/4″ (0.7 cm).

K16912 Replaceable blades can be purchased separately.

They are a light-weight, low profile earmuff designed for protection against low-level industrial noise and other loud sounds. Noise Reduction Rating (NRR)a 21 dB. CSA Class B.

PowerFloat Paramotor Flotation Device

admin — Mon, 18 Feb 2019 22:17:36 +0000

The PowerFloat Flotation Device is a MUST for pilots who fly over or around water. In the rare case an emergency landing or reserve chute deployment is required, the PowerFloat System can save your life. Some Paragliding & Powered Paragliding harnesses on the market can be difficult to exit from, especially if you make an emergency water-landing. Pilots have lost their machines and even their lives in situations like this. The PowerFloat flotation device is designed to rapidly inflate in such a situation, keeping the pilot and their equipment from sinking to the bottom of a body of water. Featuring a non-invasive compact design, the PowerFloat System is easy to install, lightweight, and a small price to pay for the safety it offers. With more flotation than other models on the market, the PowerFloat can keep even the largest pilots or machines afloat.

PowerFloat Standard:

-The Standard size PowerFloat System is suited for single-passenger foot-launch Paramotor Pilots. This model comes standard with BOTH manual and automatic inflation. Price includes the appropriate size Co2 Cartridge.

PowerFloat XL Manual-Inflation:

-The XL Manual-Inflation PowerFloat is suitable for quads, trikes, tandem application, hang-gliders, and paragliding pilots. NOTE: This model inflates manually, and requires the pilot to trigger the device. Price includes the appropriate size Co2 Cartridge.

PowerFloat XL Auto-Inflation:

-The XL Auto-Inflation PowerFloat is suitable for quads, trikes, tandem application, hang-gliders, and paragliding pilots. NOTE: This model inflates automatically when the device is submerged in water. It can also be triggered manually if the pilot desires. Price includes the appropriate size Co2 Cartridge.
