Welcome to Silver Parachute Sales & Service
SPECIAL NOTIFICATION: EFFECTIVE ON THE 1ST OF JUNE 2012
The industry is getting hammered again by a big price increase on raw goods to manufacture parachutes and related items. This will have an impact on the price of a new Softie parachute and related items. The cost of all model Softie parachute will go up $100.00. Other optional items like a removable sheepskin, sweatpad and snaps will also go up in price.
IF YOU'RE PLANNING ON PURCHASING A NEW CHUTE AND WANT TO SAVE $100.00 OR MORE YOU NEED TO ACT FAST, TIME IS RUNNING OUT.
