The Second Deployment ™ Rigger's Belt
The Ultimate Skydiver & Rigger's Belt
ONE INDUSTRY. ONE PASSION. ONE BELT WITH A STORY.
At Parachute Laboratories, Inc., we believe that just because hardware or material didn't make it into the sky doesn't mean its story has to end.
Every day, parachute manufacturing generates leftover materials. Short rolls of webbing, remnants from production, mismatched dye lots, materials that didn't meet specific requirements for flight equipment, and hardware removed from retired systems.
Traditionally, much of this material would be discarded.
We decided to give it a SECOND DEPLOYMENT!
Introducing The Second Deployment™, a distinctive everyday belt created from reclaimed parachute manufacturing materials and repurposed hardware.
Designed for skydivers, parachute riggers, aviation enthusiasts, veterans, and anyone who appreciates the craftsmanship and history behind parachute equipment.
FROM THE PARACHUTE LOFT TO YOUR WAIST
Each belt gives usable materials a new purpose.
Our belts may incorporate:
Reclaimed Parachute Webbing: Manufacturing remnants, surplus webbing, discontinued colors, and materials that could not be used in flight-critical applications.
Repurposed Hardware: Serviceable-for-belt-use hardware reclaimed from retired equipment or surplus manufacturing inventory.
Unique Colors and Patterns: Depending on available materials, we offer a variety of colors, stitching patterns, webbing styles, and hardware combinations.
Real Parachute Industry Heritage: Materials originating from the same manufacturing environment that produces professional parachute systems.
NO TWO BATCHES ARE NECESSARILY ALIKE
With changing material availability, each production run brings new combinations of colors, webbing, stitching, and hardware.
Some belts may feature military-inspired colors. Others may feature bright sport-parachuting colors or unique color combinations that never made it into production.
When a particular combination is gone, it may be gone for good!
