Swoop Cords

Recommended Posts

I'm just wondering how the swoop cord works on a RW suit. I don't know where to sew that

Martin



In my 3 RW suits"

1 has a channel across the lower back that a continuous swoop cord is threaded through,

2 has the cords sewn to the lower back seam,

3 has three D-rings sewn to the lower back seam one on each side and one inthe middle), and the continuous swoop cord passes through

1 is hardest to make.

2 is easiest to make but each cord must be adjusted independently.

3 is almost as easy as 2. If you have any sewing skills at all you can sew D-rings (from a fabric store) to the suit.
...

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Val...Paula here.

I like my swoop cords, and there are times that they come in handy, as you know. If you have some extra room in the underarm area, Ward's got a good mod that he's done on several suits for people that want swoops but didn't have them. Visit us some weekend and we can do it.
