The Container
- Highlights include:
- The main riser covers have been designed for better holding power
- The backpad is shaped and contoured to fit the shoulders and upper body and stay
in place
- The Talon FS container system is a highly refined “box” configuration. RI has taken
the heart of the Voodoo container, the reserve system, and merged it with a better
box design for the main.
- The containers are narrower and shorter than the Talon for comparable size canopies.
We use the same reserve container configuration as the Voodoo with the same protector
flap.
- The main utilizes the same upward closing flap as the Voodoo. We increased the plastic
stiffener thickness to help flatten the flap out. The main side flaps incorporate
the wrap around bottom design that provides for a better bridle protector as well
as a natural POP mount.
- The main riser covers have been designed for better holding power and allow for
the main risers to be stowed in any manner with no effect on deployment. A side
note is that these covers worked so well, that they have been merged into the Voodoo
design. They hold better, are smoother looking, and result in better over the shoulder
comfort.
- The backpad is shaped and contoured to fit the shoulders and upper body and stay
in place.
- The center flap stripe options are similar to those utilized on the Talon 2 for
those who prefer more conservative design choices.

Harness
- Highlights include:
- V-Flex leg straps stay firmly in place and provides superior comfort under canopy
- The “Multi-Flex” harness configuration with chest and hip rings allows for maximum
comfort and flexibility
- The harness was taken directly from the Voodoo design. Sandy Reid is the inventor
and patent holder for the articulated harness. He has already thought of and tested
all the different designs currently used by other companies for their articulated
harnesses and has discarded them in favor of the configuration currently used for
the Talon FS and Voodoo.
- “V-flex” leg strap configuration is simply the best and most comfortable yet designed.
The leg straps stay in place without the use of “suspenders” and “bungees” that
others rely on. The “Multi-Flex” harness configuration with chest and hip rings
allows for maximum comfort and flexibility. The chest rings allow for the yoke to
be worn straight down from of the chest, which in turn relieves pressure on the
outside of the shoulders. This allows for maximum upward reach.
- We have designed our own version of the “cut-in backstrap” which we have named the
“In-Set" backstrap. The use of the hip ring oriented from the horizontal and coupled
with a comfort pad, results in unparalled stabilization of the container to the
back and maximum comfort.
- The main risers utilize a new Velcroless toggle design that is flatter and more
secure than in the past.
