the IKS 3000 is used to connect the parachute to the harness. It can also be used to connect the risers to the harness, as an alternative to the Easy IKS 2500. It can carry up to 2960 kg, making it an ultra-light alternative to the 7 mm maillon (which can carry 3125 kg) or the twist-lock aluminium carabiner (with a maximum load of 2000 kg). The design and application of this connector is ideal for mountain wings and lightweight equipment.
S+W Verdict:
“Soft shackles are great for saving weight, whilst also having very similar strength. These work great especially when connecting resrve bridles in small front mount containers, as they take up hardly any space. ”
