In mathematics, “sigma” represents the sum of a series of terms. 🧮
The #UPTSigma is the sum of everything Bill Booth has learned, tested, and invented in skydiving.
🌎 As the most widely used tandem system in the world today, that life’s work has affected countless skydivers, instructors, and first-time jumpers along the way.
Follow us on the Sigma 2 Tour to see how this legacy has been #enhanced.

Sometimes the best type of competition is collaboration. 🤝
In 1983, Bill Booth and Ted Strong came together to push the sport forward, introducing tandem skydiving to a wider audience and enabling moments like the first-ever 2×4 formation to be captured by @normankentproductions . 🪂
That same mindset still defines the #UPT today. Built on decades of experience, proven by an unmatched safety record, and supported by a global service network, we continue to deliver value far beyond price.
That legacy has been enhanced - refining a system designed to perform, endure, and outlast. 💪
Because real value isn’t measured in the moment. It’s proven over a lifetime of jumps.

Dynamic movement jumps have taken over. 🤘🪂
No surprise our most popular upgrade is the Variable Geometry Harness (VGH), aka hip rings.
More flexibility and range of motion with a harness that hinges at the waist, connecting the leg straps to the main lift web so the rig moves with you, not against you. 😎

When you’re living in full send territory, you don’t pick gear you “hope” works. You pick what’s proven.
With 9,000+ jumps, #UPTAthlete and world record holder @matiasbaezap is built for the pace and knows serious flying requires serious standards. 😎 🪂 📸 @manu.flores

After a solid exit, the fun begins. 😎 🪂
Those points on the hill count when you’ve only got 35 seconds to score. ⏳
#UPTVector fit stays comfortable and consistent, so the team can stay on pace and the grips. 🔝
🪂 #VectorAthletes and World Cup winners of 2025 @vr4france show us how it’s done!
#BuiltByUPT #YourVectorYourWay #FormationSkydiving
Your Vector. Your way. 😎 🪂
Match your rig to your style, not the other way around. Keep it clean and simple, or kit it out with all the bells and whistles. Either way, it’s built to perform.

A blast from the past with this totem. 🫠 Totem was chopped from the MFS dive pool at the end of the 2024 season.
Mixed Formation Skydiving has evolved SO much in the 6 years we’ve been active with it and even more over the 12 years of its existence.
Sure - Totem looks cool (especially with our custom, coordinating @uptvector rigs stacked and shimmering in the light like that).
And yeah, it’s kind of fun — but it’s an awkward move that’s difficult for the judges to see, and it disrupts any flow you may have in a jump sequence.
