Jyro Helium

Introducing the JYRO Helium – the wing for jumpers who want it all: big canopy vibes without the bulk. True to its name, the Helium is lighter than air, built with our ultralight L-ZP fabric that packs small but flies big.

The Helium’s 20D silicone coated ZP low-bulk fabric packs up a full size smaller without sacrificing durability, unlike other uncoated F1-11 low-bulk fabrics that wear out quickly. It’s engineered to handle sandy, dirty, fun-as-f%#k landing areas and sets a new benchmark for low-bulk canopies on the market.

Whether you’re a heavier skydiver looking for a big canopy that fits into a smaller rig, or a smaller jumper wanting the stability of a larger wing without the bulk, Helium is your perfect match. And for those starting their skydiving journey, Helium provides the option of a forgiving, larger canopy that fits into a compact rig – offering comfort and performance right from the beginning.

Available in sizes: 129 – 229
Recommended wing loading: 0.8 – 1.4

The JYRO Helium takes its roots from the tried-and-true Safire 3. We started with the same dependable planform and reimagined it to meet the demands of jumpers who value efficiency and versatility:

• Our ultralight L-ZP, 20D silicone-coated nylon fabric sets a new benchmark for low-bulk canopies, offering reduced pack volume without compromising durability.
• Bigger inlets and optimised crossports ensure smooth airflow and a stable, predictable flight profile at lighter wing loadings.
• The redefined brake configuration delivers improved flare, giving you precise control on landing at a variety of wing loadings.

This is not just a low pack volume wing; it’s a thoughtfully engineered solution for jumpers who want to maximise their experience in the air and on the ground.

L-ZP: MINIMUM PACK VOLUME, MAXIMUM LONGEVITY

We could have just slapped some F-111 on a Safire 3 and called it a day, but taking shortcuts isn’t our style. “Be the Best” is one of JYRO’s original mottos, and last time we checked, “make something flimsy” isn’t. So Helium is low bulk, but it sure as hell isn’t low effort. Enter L-ZP, our ultralight 20-denier silicone coated ZP fabric that trims 6-11% off your pack volume*, which means you can squeeze 1-2 full container sizes smaller without resorting to witchcraft or questionable rigging choices.
