PEREGRINE MANUFACTURING - MORE THAN A DECADE IN THE MAKING
THE PEREGRINE STORY
More than a decade ago, Peregrine Manufacturing was launched with one primary goal in mind - to design and build a superior skydiving harness/container system. Safety, of course, is always the number one - and we know that comfort, durability, and style are still an incredibly important part of the recipe.
Almost since the beginning of modern sport skydiving, we as jumpers have wanted to look cool doing it. The rig we pick to fly and how we decide to design it are important to us - but so is the money we're spending. Having to decide which options to pick and what bells and whistles we can afford can be a real pain in the... Which is exactly why Peregrine Manufacturing decided that with very few exceptions, everything you want is included. We wanted to deliver to our customers exactly the kind of rig we ourselves want to jump, so that's exactly what we're doing.
No shortcuts, no headaches, no BS. The rig you want, the way you want it.
