Resistance Training Parachute

Product Description

Chase your goals with the original SKLZ Speed Chute, a speed resistance training parachute for all kinds of athletes. Train to improve your speed, stamina, strength, and acceleration. This chute provides 15-30 lbs. of resistance, allowing you to improve your stride length and frequency. The easy release belt buckle gives you the lightweight, explosive feeling as you release the chute mid stride. The SKLZ Speed Chute comes with a 2” thick, durable nylon easy release belt that is adjustable for almost any athlete. With a 360-degree rotation ring, it provides you the freedom to practice a variety of drills, so you can train in any direction. Let the pull of the chute encourage an upright posture, while the free-motion ring allows for a free-sliding, comfortable training aid. When positioned on the right or left hip, it allows you to get off the line laterally. When positioned at the center of your back, it allows for a linear or parallel start. Whether you’re training for sprints, or you’re trying to stay fit during the off season, this resistance training parachute will help keep your goals in gear. You can feel confident that you’re running in the right direction with the SKLZ Speed Chute.

Features

• Maximize acceleration and top running speed through resistance and overspeed training
• 360° rotation belt with free motion ring allows for movement in any direction
• Quick-release belt buckle allows training with acceleration bursts
• Adjustable belt fits most athletes
• Built-in mesh panels keep strings from tangling and helps stabilize the chute during training

Great training chute, would be better with shoulder strap/belt instead of waist strap
by Joe Rhodes (4 out of 5 stars)
April 5, 2015

This training chute is awesome for sprinters training for speed. Definitely makes you generate more force in each stride to overcome the resistance.

The only problem I have with this parachute is the waist strap. Really? You guys couldn't provide a real shoulder strap attachment. That's pretty disappointing because the shoulder straps are superior in training to increase speed. The waist strap will get the job done, but won't maximize the use of the parachute on your sprinting form. I purchased a separate shoulder strap attachment which is not very good, but not expensive. Still better than the waist strap.

Still, I would recommend this chute. It is not huge (which is a necessity as some athletes think) and it provides resistance as it should. I took one star away for the waist attachment.

SKLZ parachutes not durable.
by latricia jackson (2 out of 5 stars)

Purchased SKLZ parachutes in May 2019 for agility/conditioning camps. Very disappointed in durability of product. Net underneath is coming away from the seams and parachute has holes in chute so I can no longer use. I don't know what has happened to the quality of these parachutes but they do not last. They work great prior defaults. If anyone have some other options of parachutes to purchase that will last the test of time please let me know. I don't want to have to purchase chutes every season. SKLZ may need to look at developing a better parachute

Not much resistance
by KC (3 out of 5 stars)

Works but probably best for a little child as it does not provide enough resistance for a conditioned sprinter. I suppose you could double up the chute but as is it barely provides resistance.

Minimal resistance offered.
by Amazon Customer (3 out of 5 stars)
June 21, 2019

After using this item a few times I honestly think it's made for younger individuals or lighter weight people. I'm in my mid 30s, weigh 185, and I feel almost zero resistance using this product. It says 15-30 pounds of resistance but I find that you don't feel much of anything, especially in terms of speed inducing resistance.

The quality of the product seems fine, in terms of durability. It doesn't seem too cheaply pieced together.

The overall rating should be lower than the reviews suggest however.

my fullback and outfielders needed more speed
by Michael Boyd (5 out of 5 stars)
November 3, 2013

My 2 football sons just love the parachute. Getting them to train for sports isn't easy at their age, but the parachute they just love. My younger son was moved to fullback from the o-line on his 7th-grade team this past season. For years, he was too heavy in youth football to run the ball, so he has waited a long time to get to do so. He wants to make sure he keeps the fullback job from here on out. He was fast for a lineman but we knew he would have to get in running back shape to be stay as a fullback so not to be tired late in games when running the ball so much. The SKLZ parachute we believe provided the resistance needed to help build that explosive speed we saw from him in Week 5 compared to Week 1. It was impressive to watch him break for long runs off tackle over and over as the season went on. ... He also is a baseball player as is his older brother, who also is a lineman. They both are outfielders are using the parachute to get faster in the outfield and stealing bases or legging out doubles and triples. Great product, great price.

Great for HIIT.

I have wanted one of these for a while and finally decided to pull the trigger. I have used it multiple times so far and the durability is great. Very exhausting when used with sprinting. I was surely sore in my legs and abs alike the following day from the intense workout. Stores easily in the pouch that comes with it and easy to set it up. Great product and great price.
