I have a good amount of nomex parachute protectors. They are stitched by my wife on her professional serger, 3 thread edge using nomex thread. They also have a button hole to pass the shock cord through. These are orange and made of 7 ounce nomex fabric. I tried to burn a piece with a lighter and it melts before it catches on fire. Seems like they will be indestructible. The corners are fixed with fabric adhesive that will keep the serged hem from unravelling. Thread color varies. These are US (Ohio) made and the highest quality we could think of. See the table below for sizing and price information:
We also have shock cord protectors in two types and three lengths. They are all about 1" wide and should easily accommodate shock cords that are up to 3/4" wide. I've always been troubled by how the protector slides down the shock cord leaving the most important area unprotected, that is the part right by the eye hook which is where it takes the most heat (for head end and dual deployment situations). To remedy this, we have stitched a paracord to one end and installed a button hole to pass it through and draw it up tight. In this mode, not a bit of hot ejection gas will touch your shock cord. In 7 ounce orange nomex with triple thread serged seam and fixed corners. Thread color varies.
$5.00 12" shock cord protector
$10.00 12" shock cord protector with fixing cord
$8.00 24" shock cord protector
$13.00 24" shock cord protector with fixing cord
$15.00 58" shock cord protector
$20.00 58" shock cord protector with fixing cord
Finally, I have some limited stock of 9 oz black fabric parachute protectors. These were not stitched by my wife, but we did seal the corners so they won't unravel. I am not sure if the edges are 2 or 3 thread, but offering them at the following discounted prices only in the sizes shown. First come first served:
$4.00 9" x 9" black nomex parachute protector
$7.00 18" x 18" black nomex parachute protector
$10.00 24" x 24" black nomex parachute protector
PM to place an order. Ships USPS priority mail for $8.00, any size order. Shipping free for orders over $50 anywhere in the US, Territories or Possessions. Payment by paypal, venmo, check or money order. Thanks for looking. If this takes off we are thinking about becoming a vendor sponsor here. My wife loves to sew and I love rockets.
Happy Holidays!
