Rubber Bands for Reserve Parachute Lines and Containers
Price range: £0.49 through £1.99
Rubber Bands – For reserve/rescue line bundles and Inner Container closures
These are good quality super strong rubber bands as used on GIN reserve parachutes to stow the line bundles and close the reserve inner container. These bands will stretch out to over 130mm in length and return to their original unstretched length without damage.
Your reserve should be re-packed ideally every 6 months but yearly at most, at this point the bands on the line bundles and containers should be replaced.
Supplied in bags of 20 or 100 (approx.)
Size:
Internal Diameter 20mm approx.
Width 2.5-3.0mm
Stock code: OP-Rubber-Band

Delivery was lightning fast! The free haribo sweets was also a nice welcome. I’m not one of the big spenders (bag of rubber bands) but absolute faultless service.

Excellent quality repack elastics for reserve line bundles! You may additionally want a few longer bands for the outer deploy bag closure (depending on your bag’s design). Top quality delivery service from UK Airsports as well – very impressed, highly recommended 🙂

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Will! Bungees for closing the outer deployment bag are specific to each manufacturer, they often differ in diameter and length. You should always try and fit direct replacements obtained from the manufacturer or your BHPA Registered Packer. We stock 2 and 3mm bungee cord by the metre if you need to make up replacements.
