vortex II
Rated by: POOT on 2009-03-30 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Vortex II in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: good price, comfort, great looking
Cons: none

I have junped all rigs on the market except the vector and I can honestly say its the best container out there, you will not beat the price, service or safety of this rig.
I have flown my various vortex's in all orientations and have never had a flap open or had my flying affected by the rig moving.
I am now have my latest rig with lateral cut ins, full stainless hardware including hip and chest rings and its a joy to fly, I honestly dont even feel it in freeall.
forget the more well known expensive long time delivery rigs.
If you want to fly the best GET A VORTEX!

Great Rig
Rated by: surfbum5412 on 2008-09-07 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Vortex II in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: good materials, comfortable, ease in packing
Cons: no cut in laterals

Recently I was able to demo one of these. I had never heard of a Vortex and immediately I was blown away. It was really comfy and I felt safe wearing it. No complaints other than, and I'm not sure if they offer the option, but the one I demoed didn't have cut-in laterals. That was a little bit of a let down.

I'm sold on the Vortex .
Rated by: Larry4fun on 2005-09-15 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Vortex II in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Great looking rig, excellent quality, outstanding follow up service
Cons: none

I'm convinced that the Vortex is one of the best rigs on the market. It looks great and holds up really well.Another thing that really impressed me is the follow up service from Louie T. the U.S. distributer. He's just a phone call away if I need advice or even spare parts.He's always ready to help.

Vortex 2
Rated by: Andrelr on 2004-08-04 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Vortex II in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Comfort & build quality
Cons: None

Just bought my second Vortex 2 (I bought one in 1998 and a Vortex 1 in 1996). I've always been impressed with Parachute Systems' (previously Chute Shop) products. This latest has some great new features such as full riser covers. It's build quality is the best so far and fit perfectly first time.

Vortex II
Rated by: lindapa on 2003-10-23 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Vortex II in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: I am a smaller jumper, love my rig, as it fits snug and is really comfortable, small on the back and legs
Cons: Nothing

I have had my rig for 3 years, and haven’t had any hint of problems. It is great for both flat-flying and free-flying. We bought our gear for team FS jumping, but our camera man likes flying on his head, and is very happy with the performance. Our team had different requirements for canopy sizes etc, all were accommodated and look great. Hip and chest rigs are optional; mine has both, making it very comfortable. Pin protector flaps, very NB after watching my mate have a premature deployment out the door of a Porter. Contoured yoke etc. The Vortex II makes me look good and feel safe :)

Vortex II
Rated by: kvester on 2003-10-22 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Vortex II in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Excellent pin security, comfortable fit
Cons: You may sweat a bit packing it!

I bought a new Vortex II with a Decel reserve about five months ago, and I am very pleased with my decision. There were no problems placing the order, and when it arrived, it was exactly as I imagined it would look. I was impressed with the size (or should I say lack of). It is a 120 system, and it is really compact. I opted for full rings, and I am impressed at how comfortable it is. The workmanship also appears to be of a very high standard, especially the small details. The cut-in laterals add to comfort. What I really like about the container is the pin security, which makes the rig versatile. Overall, it is a slick system, and I would definately replace my spare rig with a Vortex II when it wears out. Finally, no, I did not get paid for writing this review!
