A Great Rig!
Rated by: Travman on 2007-12-23 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Voodoo in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Excellent build quality. Secure pin and bridle protection. Comfortable harness. Looks great.
Cons: Leg straps sometimes ended up in uncomfortable places

I have very reluctantly sold my Voodoo that I had for 3 years.. but it was time to downsize. It was my first rig so until now I nothing to compare it with.

The build quality is excellent. My 6 year old voodoo was in better condition than the 18 month old rig I bought!

I found the main tray to be quite simple in design, no extra flaps or anything that wasn't needed. It closed up tight, but when it opened it opened wide and nothing would stop that d-bag coming out!

The harness was mostly comfortable, particularly the location of the chest strap. I found sometimes the leg straps would become uncomfortable under canopy - but the rig wasn't built for me.

The pin and bridle protection was terrific, I never had concerns about dislodging pins.

It was a great rig and I will miss it. I will definitely consider a voodoo when I buy custom built gear.

Voodoo goodoo
Rated by: ijinak on 2006-09-22 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Voodoo in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: comfy,freefly friendly
Cons: rides down a bit in sitfly without restraint elastic between legs

I've had mine 5 years and it's been great. It does tend to ride down the thighs a bit in sitfly because of the hip rings, but a bit of elastic between the legstraps cures that. It's just a bit of a pain having to keep removing it to jump the wingsuit

Voodoo V2.0 V3
Rated by: outlawphx on 2005-07-20 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Voodoo in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Great Value & Service
Cons: Nada

My custom Voodoo came in last month, and I've put a dozen jumps on it so far. It's very comfortable, well built, looks great, quick delivery (7 weeks), and it comes with all of the bells and whistles standard. They even built me a freefly handle at no extra charge. It's not listed on the order form, but they can do it. I really like the velcroless RSL setup, the way the tuck flaps cover the release housings and everything else but the 3-Ring, the way that the kill line bunches up (instead of having a big loop of line inside the dbag when it's cocked), the v-flex legpads are great, and great main pin protection (the tuck flap doesn't even open on deployment). The only thing I'd prefer are dive loops that "popped" out more, and a split dbag for packing new zero-p.

I love my Voodoo!
Rated by: SkydiveNFlorida on 2005-06-01 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Voodoo in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Good looking, Comfortable, Excellent Service, Bomb-proof!
Cons: Cons? What cons?

I bought a custom Voodoo V0 with a pullout deployment system. Sandy and Brenda were extremely helpful to me, and they take all requests for changes in engineering seriously. The rig fit great from day one. I ended up sending it back in to have the pullout system modified to be velcro-less. The system is great, the service is great, and I could not be happier with RI! I think they are a top notch shop and this is the best looking rig on the market, imo. I would buy again for sure, but this rig is made so well I probably won't have to for a very long time!

my voodoo container
Rated by: andygregory on 2005-04-18 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Voodoo in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: comfortable
Cons: bad boc pouch and stitching

I bought a voodoo container and have been jumping it for three years. I love it ,but i have a problem with the way a fare bit of the stitching is comming apart, also the elasicated BOC , has been made smaller because the elasticity has gone and my pilot chute was working its way out. Even after being made smaller it has started to stretch even more .I think that there is real room for improvement there by rigging inovations, from both the points ,stitching and BOC

impressed
Rated by: tbostick78 on 2004-08-20 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Voodoo in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: fit, feel, delivery time, craftmanship, cut, innovation
Cons: upper price end

I ordered an off the shelf voodoo v00 and although it had some shelf life RI made the price right. Not only that but custom fit the harness to my measurements and included the mods I requested. The rig is absolutely the most comfortable I've tried and the cut is simply awesome. I'm more than satisfied with this container and their customer service. From request to delivery was under 2 weeks -- but even a custom container is still very reasonable. Thanks again RI!

Couldn't be happier with my Voodoo
Rated by: whippercrap on 2004-04-01 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Voodoo in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Most comfortable, Best looking, best shape, great rig
Cons: None

This rig is by far the best rig on the market. The placement of the hip and chest rings make it extremely comfortable. The unique design makes it a great looking rig. I like how they went away from the harness standard of the pinstripes etc... The smaller bottom closing flap gives it a more winglike shape which makes it ideal fro freeflying. I can hardly notice the rig on my back whle in freefall. All of my flaps and covers are real secure haven't had any problems. My next rig will definitely be a Voodoo unless RI comes out with something better.

Just a great rig!
Rated by: MillerTime on 2004-03-02 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Voodoo in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Fits Great, Flies Great, Tons of options, Looks good too!
Cons: Have yet to find any....

I own a VooDoo V4 with all the options. RI was great to work with, they got all the custom embroidery right the first time and without any hassles. The rig fits great and flies great. It looks good and functions exactly as it should. I would suggest this rig to anyone new and old, belly and free fly. Any previous issues they may have had with the original has been solved on the 2.0

I love my Voodoo, my next purchase will be another Voodoo - fa sho!
Rated by: kaerock on 2003-10-16 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Voodoo in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Great fit, great shape, great look, awesome for freeflying, well protected
Cons: earlier versions had riser flap closure problems, fixed now.

I've got a Voodoo V3 and purchased it early on in my jumping. One of the main factors I chose it was asthetics and fit. It was the most comfortable and naturally feeling and well fitting rig I had tried on...and I had tried on a lot of the big names (Javelin, Mirage, Wings, Vectors)

The risers are well covered as are the pins and bridal. With the reserve pilot chute completely covered, you don't have to worry about snags like the exposed pop-top rigs. I enjoy packing it more than Javelin-style rigs. Packing the reserve is very friendly and straight-forward. The reserve spring will break your nose if you're not careful when packing it(strong is good ;>). You don't need a shock-cord to keep the leg straps together when you are in a sit, for example. It fits so well that it does not slide down your legs to your knees when you move around.

I did have a problem with riser cover flaps popping open under normal use. It was slightly annoying and came to a head when it popped open in a head-down. Needless to say, it caused a mal and I had to chop. I called up RI and they said they had a fix, in a couple of weeks I got the mod and I got several pieces of fabric replaced and it completely fixed the problem. I can now say I am 100% satisfied...well except for the fact that I am ready to downsize (again) and a Stiletto 120 is very loose in the V3.

I also got wider toggles, the thin ones were a little more difficult to jam your hands through after opening, big improvement. Wide leg-straps were a good idea too.

My next purchase will be A Voodoo V1 or or V0, they fit great, they look great, their customer service is great.

Who wants a big block or a cheese wedge on their back?
