Message from Grant

We’ve got plenty going on here at Way Cool. As you are no doubt aware the global economic crisis is hitting hard at all areas of society. We get a double edged sword with the huge drop in the value of the AU dollar causing imports to inflate. Luxury items are the first to get the chop and we are feeling it here with lower sales figures.

We're not too stressed about this, but in an effort to help us to weather the storm, I’m introducing a new policy as from now:

 Way Cool will not be beaten on price for any new skydiving equipment, especially the following:

  • PD Canopies
  • Icarus Canopies
  • Containers: Javelin, Vector, Icon, Wings and Mirage
  • AADs: Cypres, Vigil  and Argus
  • Instrument: Altimeters, Audible's Etc.
  • See our current specials here >>

 Rel week 2009

The time has come again! Run by Darwin Parachute Club, one of the few remaining DZ’s in Australia that are run as a club, this is not an event to be missed! Make sure you get in and register early for your chance to win an assortment of great prizes! 25 July—2 August 2009 Way Cool are happy to announce that we will be the major sponsor for the Boogie again this year.

We keep all of these units in stock so our customers can get their brand new AAD in a matter of 1-2 days. We are also the Australia's biggest and fastest Cypres service agent!



The Original Closing Pin Necklace!

Opening Shock have been making closing pin necklaces since 1996, that’s 13 years!  This has meant that their product is one of the most unique, stylish skydiving accessories on the market today.

At the end of last year, the team at Way Cool began collaborating with the great staff at Opening Shock to come up with some trendy designs to bring to skydivers all over Australia. At long last we came up with four great designs to suit a range of looks and styles. Last month we were excited to finally get this product in our Osborne Park store.  We were absolutely thrilled with the final products and are looking forward to sharing them with the rest of the skydiving community.

If you live in W.A. feel free to check them out at our store and have a chat to our friendly staff, otherwise you can find them at our online store: See here>>

Matters of interest and education

Selling used gear?

Did you know that if you are buying or selling second hand parts the following items should always stay together:

  • Canopies
    • Canopies consist of: Links, lines and slider. Do not sell your risers or bag, bridle and pilot chute with your canopy.
  • Containers
    • A complete package that should include: Container, reserve freebag/pilot chute, deployment handles, main risers, main bridle/pilot chute, main bag and RSL.
    • Notes: The freebag and main bag size is matched to the container not the canopies, and it is a good idea to keep the reserve canopy and the container together because they are usually purchased new together and have a similar manufacture date and correct sizing compatibility.
  • AAD
    • If you're not jumping and own a Cypres, it's a good idea to sell it. These sell easily on the second hand market and devalue by the month. Other AADs don't devalue rapidly because they don't have a limited service life.
  • Want help selling your gear?
    • We offer consignment service that is a great way to get you gear out of a cupboard and into the air where it belongs. See a demo listing >>. It also gets some cash into your pocket!!! We also buy used gear if you want fast cash... See more >> You can also list your gear for free on our forum. You are automatically a member of our forum when subscribed to our website system.

The team at Way Cool have been put together a number of package deals primarily aimed at new skydivers.

Hand-Cam Gloves and Way Cool Lenses

Way Cool began manufacturing Hand-Cam gloves over 8 years ago. From the original HC Classic, they have been developed and improved over the years eventually leading to the creation of the HC Pro. The team here at Way Cool have worked with customers to create and continually develop a product that is virtually unmatched in the world of commercial skydiving.

Recently, the purchase of skydiving gear has been inhibited by the ever changing currency market which has caused drastic changes in prices for all equipment brought from overseas. Fortunately for our local market, our Hand-Cam gloves are designed and manufactured right here in Australia. With the current economic state of the country, Hand Cam is a very desirable option to all parties involved. It costs less for the customer, the DZ owners and Tandem Masters are finding that they are providing a great return on what is a comparably small initial cost (in other words, a great investment). The team at Way Cool are happy to see a steady stream of Hand Cam gloves being turned over through our store. Not only because we like to see our products used and utilised throughout the world, but because we like to see people using only the best in a sport our whole team is passionate about.
