BILLY GIBBONS
ZZ TOP
When you want to fly with the engine, it’s clear that you just love gasoline and thrust. Like all bikers on their naked classics, touring bike, sharpened superports, crosses, choppers and cruisers. Everyone knows each other and everyone knows ZZ TOP – that bunch of bearded coolers who can really get it started.
William Frederick Gibbons is his first name, and I’d rather not talk about the year of birth. I don’t think he even remembers it anymore. Anyway, in 1969 he founded ZZ TOP and began to explain to the Americans in Texas and Mississipi that Country is not everything. The guys did not delete the lyrics – it was about girls, cars, booze and rock´n´roll. So everything close to the guys.
So it is no wonder that our new parachute got its name after guitarist and singer from ZZ TOP – Billy Gibbons.

Reflective profile with AIRSCOOP technology for turbulent air
New reflective profiles with 3D modulated leading edge offer great performance and stability. But what makes your cards swiftly change in fast-paced flight conditions in turbulent conditions is the AIRSCOOP technology used, along with precisely integrated nylon reinforcements on the leading edge. A fast yet safe passage through a turbulent spot is the dream of every motorist. BILLY is no longer a dream, but a reality. He gets used to it very quickly…
