We know firsthand how difficult it is to buy and sell used skydiving gear.

As skydivers, we have been in the situation trying to buy used skydiving gear. Finding gear is like searching for the needle in a haystack due to how specific the equipment is. And even if we get lucky, and find the right gear on Facebook, buying said gear comes with huge risks of fraud.

Our Values

Transparency

Openness with our team & clients. We believe that in a sector as important as life saving gear and a community as close as skydiving, transparency is key.

Commitment

We know that we are not the first with the idea of a marketplace for used skydiving gear. However, we can promise that we are the first to fully commit to bring this up and running.

Support

Always be helpful! We are obsessed with generating value. Therefore, we are committed to support you personally whenever you need it. You are not alone.

Community

We are sure that it is impossible to create value for the community without being part of the community. For that reason, we focus on constant exchange with other Skydivers so that we can build a solution benefiting us all.

How we help you

With our escrow payments, your money stays safe in our escrow account until you have received the gear and brought it to your rigger for inspection. We believe that you should spend your attention jumping instead of worrying about scams.
