philly51 0 #1 September 17, 2015 I've been trying to contact Skysystems regarding a reline for the past week by e mails and phone calls to no avail. Does anyone have any actual news as to WTF is going on?? Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

piisfish 140 #2 September 17, 2015 the word on the forums and social media is that they are out of business... Don't know how truly they are out, but it seems that many people are running after them for either/both gear or/and money. Good luck. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #3 September 17, 2015 Word floating around is that they are no longer in Florida and have basically folded. I was hoping to snag a child size full face off of them but it looks like I was too slow in calling them.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skytribe 17 #4 September 17, 2015 A reline ? Are we talking about the same sky systems that makes tube stows and helmets. If so then they were based in Raeford, NC and have declared bankruptcy. Completely run into the ground and mismanaged. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last Javelin that I assembled for a customer (DOM 10/15) was shipped from factory with a bag of Tube Stoes. I believe Sunpath has acquired the patent/production rights for them.
