PJ Sked® Rescue System w/ Cobra QR Buckles
Narrowed-profile Sked® built for Air Force Pararescue — 28 in wide for doorways, helicopter doors, and tight corridors, with Cobra quick-release buckles. Made in the USA.
What is the PJ Sked®? It is a narrowed version of the Sked® SK-200 (model SK-215C-GR), engineered for Air Force Pararescuemen working in confined spaces, helicopter doors, and building entries. At 28 in wide (vs. 36 in standard) it cuts packed rucksack height by 8 in while keeping full Sked® capability — horizontal helicopter hoisting, vertical confined-space lifting, and patient packaging — all on Cobra QR buckles for faster, safer deployment.

Product Overview
The standard Sked® SK-200 is one of the most versatile rescue systems ever built — confined-space extrication, high-angle rescue, helicopter hoist, and ground litter carries. But for Pararescuemen in the tightest environments (aircraft door frames, building doorways, narrow corridors), the SK-200's 36 in width creates a clearance problem when packed on a rucksack. The PJ Sked® SK-215C-GR narrows the stretcher to 28 in, cutting packed rucksack height by 8 full inches.
The PJ Sked® ships standard with Cobra Quick Release buckles — the same MOLLE-proven fastener used in demanding military and special-operations equipment — for significantly faster patient packaging and safer, more controlled release when transferring to receiving care teams. Although not formally USAARL-tested for hoisting, Air Force PJs routinely employ it in helicopter hoist operations, and it is fully compatible with all standard SK-200 accessories including the flotation kit for water rescue.
Like all Sked® systems, it becomes rigid once the patient is packaged — protecting the casualty through demanding confined-space extrications — then rolls for storage in the included Cordura backpack. Manufactured by SKEDCO in the USA, it is the gold standard of confined-space, technical, and para-rescue patient packaging for special operations forces.
