Update to the Low profile Reserve Handles:

Spoke to Rick and he sent me some pics to clarify the sizes based on the MLW (Main Lift Web) size.

Two Photos attached.
One is of the Medium/Large and the Sml/XtraSml MLW and their respective Standard reserve handles.

Second is the Medium/Large and the Sml/XtraSml MLW and the respective Low Profile Handles.

I should be a small MLW so will have the low-prof-reserve handle on the right .... which I like best anyways.

Ps - Rick is an awesome help. He just thought I was going to buy a reserve handle and went to all that trouble! +A1 customer service, Thanks Sunrise!

My wings from 2010 has the tangle-able style pud, I recommend changing that as well. Also, I ordered a PC with the plastic pipe handle, and it came as s single point attachment in the middle, which can also tangle. Ask your rigger to modify your handle so there isin't the possibility of bridle tangling. This is done by stitching along the handle as in the UPT handle, or putting a piece of tape through the plastic pipe handle and stitching down either end (so bridle cannot go under the pipe). Here is a video of basically what can happen:

Interesting bit is around 1:15

For wings, I can recommend that you measure carefully and understand what you should be measuring when you take the measurements.

One great thing about wings is that they have good customer service, I had to have my rig sizing adjusted and it was taken care of no problem Smile

Weird. Mine from 2007 does not. Neither my new PC I bought in 2011.

That looks so much like my first Wings rig! Exactly same colour options and in quite a few of the same places too!

Enjoy!
