This got me wondering, is the icaro a DIR style wing, would it be accepted by a DIR diver, as at current I am not one, but am thinking about learning the DIR way in the future.
The only buckle is the chest stap, but if this were to break, there would be very little effect, the wing also contains one, fairly marginal attempt at a bungee apart from that I can't see a big difference with this and a labelled DIR wing, is there something I have missed? Would this be enough lift at 35lbs to do a DIR course with twin 10's (steel) as I know DIR believe in only having the required volume of lift and no more.

The question I believe was "Is this DIR". No. It isn't

hope this helps
