The Gargoyle in its own right is an excellent Harness/container for tracking and wingsuit BASE. With more people getting into wingsuit BASE and with the advancements of the wingsuits themselves, we wanted to create a container that when combined with a wingsuit, would help with the aerodynamics of forward flight.
With help and feedback from Robert Pecnik of Phoenix-Fly, we have come up with what we believe to be an excellent design. This highly contoured container offers improved airflow, maximizing the pilot's capabilities for reaching their ultimate forward speed.

The ws X-treme features the same all speed tested pin protection that the standard Gargoyle features and has been tested from slider-down go and throws to head down skydives.

 

Standard Features:

  • Dynamic Corners.
  • Split leg straps and superior padding in the leg pads: reducing the discomfort of opening shock with adding extra bulk.
  • Streamlined tuck tab riser covers.
  • Floorplate for top flap closing loop. (Like on most reserves)
  • Standard top flap closing loop.
  • Complete bridle protection pocket
  • Inner BOC Bridle Storage Pocket (for use when utilizing the Wingsuit B.A.S.E. pilot chute pouch)
  • Bottom of container deployment pouch.
  • Twenty-eight custom colors to choose from.
  • Big Grab Toggles.
  • ParaPack Fabric as Standard.
  • Hook Knife.

 

Options:

  • L-Bars. (No additional Charge)
  • Lower articulated harness. (hip rings)
  • Stainless Steel hardware. (now available with large rings)
  • Double Pin stripes.
  • B-12 leg strap hardware (now available with hip rings)
  • Cordura Fabric. (No additional charge)
  • 3-rings
  • Reverse Risers available upon request (Large rings only)

 

The highest drag area that a wingsuit and body creates when combined, is around the rib cage. This area equates to the upper 1/3 of the container. Some of the new, drag reducing features include continuous riser covers that offer a seamless contour around the yoke. There is no 3-ring system. Integrity risers are standard or the rig can be purchased with optional L-Bars. We have placed a floor plate inside of the upper portion of the container to house the top closing loop. This helps to reduce the bulk of the canopy in this area, thus reducing turbulence when the air is flowing over the top of the rig.

The top flap is also capable of housing a standard closing loop if the floor plate option is not desired for a particular jump. The bottom of the container is tapered at 45 degrees to allow the continuation of the airflow from the container back over the body again with the least amount of disturbance. The ws X-treme is manufactured with Dynamic Corners as standard. The BOC pouch is equipped with a small tuck pocket inside to house the excess bridle that is necessary when utilizing the WingSuit BASE pilot chute pouch.

This container also comes standard in ParaPack as it is a slicker fabric and for those who are trying to eek out every bit of forward speed possible, every M.P.H. counts! The container can be ordered with an articulated harness. The preferred articulation for the ws X-treme features a ring at the lateral/main lift web/leg strap assembly. We have found this juncture to work best with the design of a wingsuit. It allows for maximum harness flexibility without putting any tension on the suit's harness entry and exit points.

By focusing on some key areas when designing this container, we feel that when used in conjunction with the wingsuits that are being flown today, the ws X-treme highly compliments the pursuit of extreme B.A.S.E. wingsuit flight.


Don't let your rig be a drag!
