Forums: Skydiving: Gear and Rigging: Purchasing harness only

460 Sep 23, 2010, 11:52 AM Post #1 of 7 (648 views) Shortcut Purchasing harness only Can't Post Has anyone here purchased just a harness without the container directly from a manufacturer? If so, how much did you pay? I don't have access to a harness machine and I want to attach a custom container onto an existing harness. A base gear project.

You are going to need a Class 7 machine to attach the container to the harness anyways. (This post was edited by PhreeZone on Sep 23, 2010, 9:22 PM)
