Student Javelin Odyssey

Experience the Javelin! 
A dependable, comfortable and user friendly rig requiring less "transition" from student gear to personal gear.  Our philosophy has been to take the standard Javelin harness/container system and change it as little as possible to make it a student rig.    The student looks and feels more like a skydiver, right from the very first jump.  Now the instructor has all options available in one harness/container system.

The STUDENT JAVELIN Odyssey features a tough, double-layer cordura main container, adjustable main lift webs and deluxe legpads.  Safety features include a reserve Static Line (Standard on all Javelins), a left side AFF main deployment handle and a color coded system for easily changing from freefall to direct bag configurations.  All Javelins come to you Cypres ready at no extra charge.

Our student rig is easily interchangeable between static line, ripcord and throwout pilotchute deployments.  Any of these configurations can be chosen without the need to remove the main D-bag from the container.  A color coded system helps insure that if the direct bag is used, there is no possibility of assembling the system so that the static line would damage the top of the main canopy.

Chargeable Options:

Additional Chargeable Options Available, See Order Form.

1) All main canopies packed into the STUDENT JAVELIN must have the 7" red loop attached to the top of the canopy by looping it onto the bridle attachment point. This loop should be passed up through the grommet in the top of the bag each time the canopy is packed. When the rig is used in the Free-fall configuration, this loop is hooked to the connector link on the bridle of either the hand-deploy or the Spring-loaded pilotchute. The connector link always stays with the bridle. NEVER leave it on the main canopy top loop.

2) When rigging the main canopy for Static Line deployment, first remove the Free-fall pilotchute from the red to loop of the main canopy. Be sure the connector link stays with the bridle, not with the top loop. Then attach the YELLOW static line to the YELLOW tapes on the top of the bag by looping the static line through itself. NEVER attach the yellow static line to any loops of another color, always only yellow to yellow.

3) To close the main container when rigging for Static Line, use the normal closing loop and close the main container with the plastic coated cables attached to the static line. Next stow the static line in rubber bands on the side flaps of the main container. (These rubber bands should be maintained in good condition and double-wrapped when stowing the static line to prevent 'blowout' of the main container closure if the student is on the step before exit). The static line snap should then be tucked into the pocket on the center of the main pin cover.

4) To rig the STUDENT JAVELIN for AFF, use the spring-loaded pilotchute and the plastic coated ripcord. Insert the ripcord into its housing and close the main container flaps in this order: bottom, top, left, right. Before closing the container, pass the ripcord cable through the small loop in the end of the Left Side AFF Handle. Now close the main container with the ripcord and stow the excess length of cable in the channel provided inside the main side flap.

The main bag is equipped with a stiffener panel in the front that should always be on top when the main is packed. This panel is a launching plate for the spring from burrowing into the main bag.
