    A symbol for a new age in student, harness container evolution. That was our goal while developing the Icon Student. Student training is becoming more diverse, and the demands placed upon student equipment have become greater.
    At the same time student’s are more concerned with safety and comfort than ever. Of course we had to build a reliable, durable, and comfortable student container, but the Icon Student had to be more. We had to develop new technology in order to address the current and future needs of students and drop zone operators around the world.
   Our development team had to consider many things that most of us would rather not think about. Possibilities like: unintentional reserve deployments at high speeds, high “g-force” spinning malfunctions of main canopies, harsh student training environments and treatment, among others. Not pleasant thoughts, but when designing a new harness/container system, we had to look at every aspect.
   We think you will like the result. The Icon Student not only provides you with a comfortable, reliable and, durable container, it also incorporates new technology, not found on any other system in the world.
   New innovative Aerodyne miniforce™ 3-ring system (patent pending)! We have developed the next generation 3-ring release. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, our new 3-ring system is specifically designed to reduce the force required for successful break away from a high g-load malfunction.
   New reserve deployment system! We have designed a line stow retention system, specifically designed to help control reserve deployments at high speeds, while not sacrificing low speed requirements. The skydiving industry agrees that poorly controlled suspension lines can be a major causative factor in hard openings. This technology, formerly found only on high altitude, high-speed military systems is now available to everyone in the Icon.
   New “Link-Stop” panels! These small panels, located inside the main container, prevent connector links from wrapping around or catching on the corner of the reserve container. Links that catch the reserve container or are wrapped around this corner, have resulted in anything from line twists and off-heading openings to tearing reserve containers out of rigs!
    We have utilized heavy duty fabrics and stainless steel hardware in order to withstand the severity of the student training environment.
    All student Icons make it simple for the jumpmaster to visually inspect the reserve pin and CYPRES, without removing the rig.
   The Icon Student comes standard with an adjustable main lift web in order to accommodate the wide variety of body types encountered in student operations.
   The Icon Student is the next generation of training harness container, designed for students and drop zone operators of today and tomorrow. If you are looking for a new harness and container, designed with today’s training requirements and realities in mind, then the Icon Student is the rig to choose. The Aerodyne Icon Student, a glimpse at the future of harness/containers.
