Paratec developes and manufactures Tandem Systems since 1993. This has provided us with a vast experience in this field.
The Next Tandem rig is compatible with a variety of other Tandem Reserves and Tandem Mains, next to our own.
We have always focused on :
- compatability, to make it a open platform,
- return on investment by making it durable and upgradable
- low operating costs by making spare parts like the drogue assembly exchangable by subparts

The Next Tandem rig has become the first choice for many full time tandem operations and single owners alike.
Our new Century Tandem Systems marks another milestone in our quest for the best all -round Tandem System available, covering safety, reliability, quality and functionality.

Obviously the best advertising are our satisfied customers such as Dave Morris of Skydive Langer, UK.
Dave not only looks back on 32 years in the sport with over 11000 skydives. Over 6000 of them were Tandems.
DM as everybody calls him is also a BPA advanced Instuctor Examiner and has a Rigger’s license:

Here is what Dave says about his Next Tandem :

My Next Tandem

• 10 years 2 months and 17 days old
  3178 skydives
• Two Twin 402 Main canopies
• Two Line sets
• 4 Drogues
• Three drogue bridles
• Two drogue kill lines
• Twin402 reserve

I have just ordered a new Next Tandem from Paratec. Not because my current kit is unserviceable
but because it is starting to show signs of its age (a bit like me really).
If I had ordered a black one I am sure it would have another ten years life but my colour is yellow
and I afraid my Tandem workhorse is looking a little untidy.
My Tandem Next has been a pleasure to work with.
Its clever design made it easy to change the just parts that had worn and not a complete assembly.
It is comfortable, uncomplicated and reliable.As a first generation tandem rig from Paratec
they have listened to the requirements of the tandem instructor over the years
and have improve the Next of today, which is why I am looking forward to the delivery of my new container
and the next 3000 tandem skydives.
I love my job!
Paratec are a forward thinking company who have produced the perfect workhorse for the tandem environment.
Whether you have a large DZ with many rigs or you are a freelance tandem instructor with one set of kit ,
I would highly recommend the Next container.

Sincerely

Dave
