Fire Classic

SWS Fire Classic harness and container

Fire for style and accuracy competitors: the container takes a large accuracy main with a smaller reserve, so the rig stays compact for style series, and the 3-ring is moved up for an upright seating position. Offered for reserve/main combinations of 150/252, 175/275 and 200/300 sq ft and larger.

Fire 2

Second-generation Fire, released on 1 July 2019. The harness was redesigned to hold the rig firmly at high speeds and in tight suits, the main container was simplified (about 1.5 cm slimmer and 100 g lighter than the Fire for the same canopies) and the riser covers were changed to open symmetrically for cross-braced canopies. The SWS price list also offers a “Fire2 TSO” version.
