CYPRES2 AAD

I've put together the following gear price comparison information for skydivers in the market for new or used gear. This is a brief but direct overview on some of the more popular skydiving gear that we see come through ChutingStar. The following info will give you a brief education on how to value used gear against new gear, and then you can determine which is the best choice for you.

Note: Canopies/brands listed below are those that ChutingStar has had the most success with and are the most common within our area.

Also, please see our other articles on buying used gear and using ChutingStar as an Inspection/Escrow service to prevent the seller or buyer from getting scammed.

Airtec offers a trade-in credit on your expired CYPRES unit when you purchase a new unit. ChutingStar participates in this trade-in program for any skydivers who purchase a new CYPRES from us.

Here's how it works:

• Purchase a new CYPRES unit at this link
• Within 60 days, send in your expired CYPRES unit to ChutingStar
• Include a copy of your new CYPRES order or purchase receipt
• We credit the original payment method $65 if sent with a cutter that has not been fired
• We credit the original payment method $45 if the cutter is fired or missing
• Expired unit returns after 60 days receive a credit on your ChutingStar account
• Expired CYPRES must be less than 1-year after unit expiration date

All CYPRES 2 units manufactured or serviced after January of 2013 have received an awesome software upgrade.

The user can now increase the activation altitude of the unit by increments of approximately 100 feet. Maximum increase of activation altitude is 9 steps so approximately 900 ft. These increments or steps are designated by an A (for altitude) and a number times 100. Thus A1 signifies 100 feet above the standard CYPRES activation altitude, A2 signifies 200 feet above and so on. A0 signifies the standard activation altitude.
