I love my rig!

Review of: Infinity in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Solid pin protection, safety features, cut in laterals, customer service
Cons: Can't think of any

There are so many reasons that I am glad that I bought my Infinity. Most importantly is it's very well thought out design and safety features that it has. The pin protection is absolutely solid. The secondary riser covers are totally secure and having a Velcro-less RSL is really nice too. One of my favorite comfort features is the floating laterals which is a genius move on their part. No one else has them, and they are particularly good for women with smaller waists and far superior to cut in laterals because they self-adjust to your body position. I would like it if the SkyHook were offered as an option but from what I understand, Kelly (the owner) is thinking about it and would not offer it on his rigs unless he was 100 percent confident that the technology is totally reliable and it is the right decision to do so. With all of the knowledge and experience he has I have to trust that.

I absolutely cannot say enough about the quality of customer service that I have received from Kelly, the owner, and his partner. I am a very careful customer who has a lot of questions and specific requests. (Some might call me high-maintenance) With a product this expensive I want something near-perfect and am not afraid to ask for it. Another reviewer said that Kelly treats you like you're the only customer in the world and that is true. I've asked for a color of fabric different from what he offered and he went out and got it without even charging me extra. He got me smaller leg pads on request and I will be sending the rig in on my next rig for minor tweaks in the fit of it without any problems. He's done all of this and more in a cheerful accomodating manner that make me feel like a valued customer and dare I say it - even a friend.

And the cherry on top is the rig looks smoking hot! I've gotten lots of compliments.

Review of: Infinity in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Everything
Cons: None.

1st Great service. I messed up on my order form by ordering large riser instead of thin one, I e-mailed VSE about 3-4 weeks after ordering, their answer was simply "alright will switch em out for you". and rig came in weeks before the due date.
2nd It fits great, feels great, looks awesome. I don't even wanna jump it because it's so beutiful.
3rd protection for the riser and bridle is solid.
4th Ordering form/picking color was so easy, while other company have so much to fill out, VSE keeps it simple yet,more then enough to match to your jump suit and your canopy.

Infinity

Rated by: sprtdth on 2006-03-31 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Infinity in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Quality, fit, comfort, customer service
Cons: None

My new Infinity is by far the best rig I have ever owned.
The quality is the best I have seen in a long time, maybe ever. The fit was excellent, no harness binding, no tight spots. it was like putting on a custom glove.
When I got ready to order, I called Kelly with some questions and he not only was very helpful, he talked to me like I was his only customer. He wasn't hurried, he wanted to make sure MY questions were answered. A rare quality these days.
The reserve is very rigger friendly. The reserve pilot chute WILL get off your back. I found I had the closing loop just a little too short, after I compressed the pilot chute, so I pulled the temp pin. The pilot chute shot up 9 or 10 feet, it WILL get off your back if you need it!
I only do CRW so I can't comment on how this rig works with doing head down or RW, but, I can say since I spend a lot of time in the saddle, the double wide leg straps are the way to go.
If you're looking for a new rig, call Kelly. I do believe he is setting a new standard in, quality, fit, comfort and customer service.
Oh yea, I'll be ordering another Infinity for my competition CRW rig very shortly!

Review of: Infinity in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Price, Service, Delivery, Website, Freefly friendly, Easy to pack...
Cons: None

I've had my Inifinity since late 2003. Initially I put a bunch of jumps on it. Unfortunately my jumping activity slowed for awhile thereafter, but it has picked up in the last 6-8 months. All told, I'd say I've put 120 jumps, maybe more, on my Infinity. Buying this rig as new A-License holder was probably the best decision I've ever made. Let me tell you why:

1 - Service. Ordering was a snap. I went through my DZ, got the measurements from a rigger and put my order in. The cool part was I had used the website earlier to design the color combo. Having that added feature on the website lets you customize till your hearts content. I was so antsy to get the rig I couldn't stand it. I must have called VSE and spoke with Kelly at least a dozen times. He was *never* impatient, always very courteious, and extremely eager to get the rig in my hands. To me, this meant the world. As a newbie, it felt great knowing that the company building my rig was run by such a top notch guy. The rig showed up on time, and exactly as I had specified. 5 stars.

2 - Price. Not much to say on this subject, other than the obvious. As a newbie, I decided a mix of used/new equip would be best to save $. With the pricing on the Infinity I was able to go custom with some options, buy a new Smart reserve, and still have a couple hundred left over for a used main. No AAD.

3 - Packing friendly. I always hear lots of people complain about packing the first few dozen times. I can tell you I did the same, but when I received my Infinity, the complaining stopped. The d-bag fit my Sabre 150 nicely (snug but not impossible). The riser covers are easy to use (easier than Icon or Micron IMHO) when packing. The rig closes up nicely - the order is logical and the packing tray sets up nicely. Routing of the bridle is straight forward, and the BOC pouch + hackey + pilot chute are all great.

4 - Freefly friendly. If you're looking for freefly friendly, the Infinity has you covered.

All in all, after some time, and over a hundred jumps, I consider this rig to be the best piece of gear I own. If you decide to buy one as a newbie, I guarantee you'll feel the same.
