SOE Nordic Type X

The British X-type troop parachute was a highly successful design resulting from the cooperation of two competing firms, GQ and Irvin Air Chutes.  Adopted late in 1940, it continued in service with several modifications through the end of the war. This  unique SOE version Type X was designed to insert agents and commandos in the snowy Nordic countries.

This unique replica features an impressive array of period materials. The harness is built with double layered Type VIII black dot webbing and sewn with ultra heavy Irish linen 7-cord. The harness features the rare wartime style fully-circular quick release box, and all hardware has been painted snow white.  The hip rings are the correct trapezoid shape as per the snow model. The solid white pack tray features white duck cloth, white binding, white stitching, and white reinforcement webbing.  It also features the 6mm thick textile base plate which provides stiffness and body to the pack. The  3.6 meter static line extends from the d-bag and terminates in a V-ring with triple box-x stitching.

Available in the "standard" version with the display internal deployment bag, or the "premium" model with all the internal flaps, loops, and webs (all hidden when packed). 

Standard Model: $695  ( Email for to purchase - in stock & ready to ship)
Premium Version: +$225
