SOFTIE Parachute Products

Para-Phernalia, Inc. has designed and manufacturing the SOFTIE line of pilot emergency parachutes since 1979. Our emergency parachutes are known worldwide for being the highest quality, most comfortable, and reliable emergency parachutes available.

There are seven different SOFTIE models which make up the SOFTIE product line. Each can be customized to suit your individual needs. Whether you fly powered aerobatics, gliders, warbirds, or any other type of aircraft, we have an emergency parachute system designed for your application.

	The Mini Softie is an extremely small, lightweight and comfortable backpack parachute system designed for use in today’s restricted cockpit environments. Details
	A narrower and shorter version of the Mini Softie. The Micro Softie specifically designed to fit smaller individuals. Details
	A wedged shaped version of our popular Mini and Micro Softies, the Wedge Softie is designed to add lumbar and sacral support during high, positive “G” maneuvers. It is ideal for the upright seating found in Pitts style seating. Details
	The chair style Long Softie is designed to conform to and maximize the comfort of the contoured seating found in today’s high performance gliders and aerobatic aircraft. Details
	A seat pack style that offers the same comfort and reliablity of our other Softie models. The Seatpack Softie is designed for use in aircraft that simply have no room for a backpack style parachute. Details
	A seat pack that is designed to fit into the older style “bucket” seats found in warbird aircraft. The Warbird Softie is exactly the same as our standard Seatpack Softie other than the container is an additional 3" thick. Details
	The WARBIRD WEDGE SOFTIE incorporates the same wedge shaped design as our popular standard Wedge Softie. However, it is designed specifically for use in vintage high speed warbirds such as the P51, T-6, and early model jets. Details
