A running parachute is made of a thin fabric or material attached by a cord to a harness worn around the waist of a runner or sprinter in order to improve speed, endurance and strength. The running parachute acts like parachutes that are attached to jet airplanes to capture the wind, creating a strong resistance to slow them down as the air expands the parachute.
The SKLZ Original Speed Chute w/ 54″ Diameter and 360-Degree Rotation Belt has a fully-adjustable 2″ nylon belt that rotates 360 degrees so that the parachute is free to move with whichever direction the wind is blowing. This running parachute also comes with a quick-release buckle so that you can release the chute mid run to really feel the boost from running with resistance to none.
