Our MissionPara Concepts is the Pro Shop, located in the Skydive Chicago main hangar. We are not a subsidiary of Skydive Chicago. Instead, we are an independent business that can offer you much more than a drop zone owner’s side thought. In our store, we can help you purchase everything from sunglasses to your first rig, or any skydiving related product at the industry's best prices while providing excellent service. In our state of the art rigging loft, we can maintain your equipment to the highest industry standards. We design and build custom parachute equipment for your exact needs, keeping up with the latest trends in skydiving, including our swoop accessories. We do not carry every product from every brand. Instead, we carefully evaluate the market and carry the best products from the best brands in skydiving. However, even if we don't stock something, we can provide just about any product, on request. Para Concepts is the only official Icarus US Support Center, providing Linesets & Relines, Sliders, Repairs, and even Demos. Recently, due to popular demand, we have geared up with GoPro products. Their cameras are less expensive than alternatives from Sony or elsewhere, don't offer the greatest number of video options, and yet they can be easily mounted to all sorts of places without too much additional cost. This makes them attractive to the beginning camera flyer with a much smaller investment. We now carry Lo and Hi Definition GoPro Cameras, and associated memory cards, at the same prices as the GoPro web site. If you visit Skydive Chicago, you can purchase these products without the normal shipping costs from GoPro. Otherwise, you can be sure that you are purchasing a product that is intended to be used by skydivers, with sales staff knowledgeable about your needs. If you are considering a complex aerial display, we have shown that we can provide anything from company events to worldwide marketing campaigns. Whatever your needs, take advantage of our experience and innovative ideas. Our client from several years ago, Clear!Blue won the Global Marketer Diamond Award for Best PR Marketing Campaign in the World for 2005. Despite other companies, including Skydive Chicago, trying to take credit, it was Para Concepts that engineered and coordinated the aerial parachute display, actually dropping a Jeep Commander from 1200 feet for a live marketing campain. To be fair, the talented pool of people at Skydive Chicago made this work, but the rigging and engineering team at Para Concepts made this possible. ESPN credited us as one of the “Top Ten Plays of the Day”. The exit weight of the brand new Jeep and platform turned out to be, a staggering, 8000 pounds. When you need a complex, technically challenging event, come to Para Concepts. Despite what others might claim to offer, we have proven that we can deliver. We have the engineering, rigging, and skydiving team to excel in the most complex projects, without question. |

We would like to congratulate SDC Rhythm XP for their remarkable success in 4 way, and their successful 8 and 16 way player/coach teams. In a short time, they have become a great competitive team. 
But their player/coach teams and frequent participation in scrambles and other DZ events, reveal that they really love the sport, and are giving back more than they take. These are the kind of people that we love to sponsor, here at Para Concepts. We have kept them in the air, servicing their rigs, throughout the last several years. If you are visiting Skydive Chicago, please know that the best SDC 4 way team brings their rigs to Para Concepts for all the service they require. Perhaps, you should, as well.
Despite our failure, to date, to find a supplier for stainless steel rings, stand by for the their possible availability. The greater mass may produce openings not quite as good, but they should last longer. If we are able to get stainless rings that meet our quality standards, we will still offer the lightweight rings as an alternative for those jumpers that like the superb openings.
