Default Bailout and survival kit

The BRS is not an option, as the system has to be engineered as part of the airframe. You just can't buy one and stick it in like a new flight computer. All BRS installations I know of in gliders are developed with the aircraft manufacturer for a particular application. And adding one to a Standard Certificated glider would be a huge exercise in frustration with FAA requirements and regulations.

I was a dealer for BRS in my hang gliding days (as well as Second Chantz) and those were incorporated into the pilot's harness and as such could be retrofitted.
