There is a huge increase in the availability of
big walls these days. They are attracting interest
all around the world. Long delays are becoming more
and more commonplace. With the evolution of wingsuits
and the growing popularity of performing aerial maneuvers,
pin-closed containers have reemerged in BASE-jumping.
With this, people are jumping pin rigs from other
objects and lower altitudes.
The dual-pin configuration is an optimum design for
pin-closed BASE containers because it spreads the
closing force evenly over a large area, therefore,
creating a more even, controlled pin tension. The
Gargoyle's unique pin protector flap has been designed
with ballistic cloth stiffeners that slot together,
offering complete pin and bridle protection. This
design avoids the higher tension that can occur with
a wrap around flap. The two stainless steel curved
pins are spaced so that when there is tension placed
on the bridle, the pins extract in sequence from bottom
to top. As the first pin is extracted, the "no tension"
flap peels open with ease making this a safer design
for all airspeeds.
The Gargoyle does not have enclosed corners at the
base of the container. This ensures the opportunity
for an optimum, on heading deployment. It has a streamlined
design and curved yoke that contours to the user's
body shape and length, allowing for maximum comfort
and flexibility. The Gargoyle Twin features a continuous
harness system made of type 7 and type 8 webbing.
This assures the utmost strength at crucial junctures.

Through observation and discussions with locals
at several popular wing suit cliff sites, we
saw a need to improve upon container opening characteristics
during wing suit deployments. Hence the
development of "Dynamic Corners".
This design allows the tray to open fully, leaving
no edges for the canopy or tail pocket to snag during
high speed horizontal deployments.
The Gargoyle can also be ordered with an optional
lower articulated harness designed to relieve tension
on the ring, no matter how tightly you adjust your
harness. This, combined with contoured legpads
allow for a complete unconstricting range of motion
and comfort. These features are extremely useful whether
jumping flat and stable or performing any of today's
aerial maneuvers.
