HELIUM

Q: How much smaller does the Helium pack?

Thanks to the L-ZP low-bulk fabric, the Helium packs approximately one size smaller than a comparable non-crossbraced canopy, letting you downsize your container or upsize your main without changing your rig.

Q: JYRO Helium vs Safire 3 — what's different?

The Helium uses the same proven Safire 3 planform but replaces the fabric with L-ZP for drastically reduced pack volume. It also has optimized crossports for improved inflation and a refined brake configuration that enhances flare power at lighter wing loadings.

About the JYRO HELIUM

The HELIUM takes its roots from the Safire 3 and reimagines it with L-ZP, a 20D silicone-coated nylon fabric engineered for minimal pack volume without compromising durability. Bigger inlets and optimized crossports ensure smooth airflow and a stable, predictable flight profile at lighter wing loadings.

Low Bulk Fabric

L-ZP is an ultralight canopy material that sets a new benchmark for low-bulk canopies, offering reduced pack volume without compromising durability.

Optimized Crossports

Enhanced crossport size and positioning improve airflow throughout the canopy for smoother, more stable flight.

Redefined Brake Configuration

A finely tuned brake system enhances flare power, making landings effortless even at lighter wing loadings.

Who Should Fly This Wing?

The HELIUM is suited for intermediate to experienced skydivers who want the benefits of a larger canopy without the bulk. Whether you're a heavier jumper looking for a big canopy that fits a smaller rig, or a lighter jumper wanting stability without excess volume — this wing delivers.

What Can You Expect?

Stress-free flights and soft, confidence-inspiring landings. It opens consistently smooth, toggle response is progressive and forgiving, and the flare delivers precise control at wing loadings from 0.8 to 1.4 lbs/sqft.
