Vector 3 Features:

3D Spacer Foam / Padded Stablizers
You can now fly your Vector 3 in full comfort, with the introduction of the 3D Spacer Foam backpad. The difference is unbelievable – the spacer foam conforms to the jumper after several jumps, and the cut-out channel on the backpad allows for air circulation on the back. All of our test jumpers have also reported that their rigs feel incredibly stable on their backs, with far less movement with the same tension applied from their harnesses. The spacer foam also extends to the leg pads for increased comfort.

Center Flap & Piping

• Center Flap: Refer to the Vector drawing on the Sport Order Forms (Micron, M-Series) and enter the colors you have chosen next to the corresponding numbers. It may help to color the drawing first, to get an idea of what your rig will look like. You may use one of our printed coloring sheets for this or use our 3-D coloring program that is located on our website. Please be aware that neon fabrics and tapes fade rapidly. Their color brilliance may be lost within a year. For available colors please check the latest Relative Workshop color samples. If you use other manufacturers samples please send a physical sample in with your order. We also offer split color options. Please refer to our split color option order forms. Tie-dye is available for the whole rig or just certain panels.
• Piping: This decorative trim adds accents of color. Folded trim tape is inserted and stitched in between each wedge of the center flap, A-G (2-7). Piping is optional.

Leg Pads

• One Piece: Greater comfort with padding in-between hardware and legs
• Two Piece: Greater flexibility which produces a greater range of movement

Main Pilot Chute

• Type: F-111, ZP 
• Handles: Monkey Fist, Free-fly, Plastic 
• Size: 27-inch, 30-inch, 33-inch
• F-111: Due to its properties it lets some air through and produces less dancing of the bag as the pilot chute inflates and pulls the main canopy from the deployment bag.
• ZP: Zero Porosity has a greater pull force because little to no air passes through it this in turn exerts a greater pull force. ZP on average last twice as long.

Louie Loops Option
Over the top dive loop raises the dive loop over 1-inch from the position of the standard dive loop giving greater power in your dives and less physical strain on your arms. Stiffener in the Louie Loop makes it easier to grab when initiating your front riser turn. Another benefit is that the Over the top dive loop raises the dive loop over 1-inch from the position of the standard dive loop giving greater power in your dives and less physical strain on your arms. You must select the Louie Loop option for your risers when ordering if you want this option.
