Description:
Exactly 4 years after the introduction of our innovative G3 container, Mirage Systems is very proud to introduce to you the latest generation of skydiving technology, Mirage G4.



During two years of development we looked at every minute aspect of the G3 with a skeptical eye. Our goal, as always, was to present to our customers a product of uncompromising quality, functionality and value. The results are major advances in comfort, safety, ease of use, aerodynamics, fit and rigger-friendliness.

MIRAGE G4
Rated by: mlefebvre (more about me) on 2009-10-23 21:36:42 (user reviews) Review ID:2250

Pros: Form, Fit, Function, delivery
Cons: A bit Pricey

Well, after more than 30 consecutive years in the sport and owning eight different rigs; (one Crossbow, one Rapid Transit, two Vectors, one Talon, one Talon II and two Javelin Odysseys), I thought it was high time to buy a Mirage G4 and find out for myself why this manufacturer has attracted such a fan fare. I was measured (twice) by Bonnie at Gravity Gear in San Diego, plunked down a big fat pile of crisp $100 bills and watched her hit "send" on the online order form. SIx weeks and four days later a new M0 rig showed up. We popped a Cypres II, Optimum 126 and Sabre2 135 into the container and then I put it on. My first impression was, "holy sh@!" this rig fits PERFECT! I mean of all my rigs, none of them ever fit me this good! Everything on the G4 was a custom fit; the main lift web, the leg and chest straps were all made for moi! The construction of this rig is awesome; no minor detail is overlooked. Sure it's possible to make another rig less expensive (and just as reliable), but I have to say there is something very gratifying about the quality of this rig. It feels so good when you are in the air and under canopy. Mirage is truly the "Cadillac of Rigs", bar none!

Love the rig
Rated by: surfbum5412 (more about me) on 2009-05-13 18:09:22 (user reviews) Review ID:2178

Pros: comfortable, durable, quality design, DELIVERY TIME :-)
Cons: nothing

It's a freakin G4, what else you can you say? In my mind, top rigs on the market are the G4; Odyssey; Micron; but who feels like waiting 4 months for a new container? NOT ME. No worries about anything when wearing this rig. It's super comfy. Who else can deliver a new custom rig to your doorstep in 4 weeks? Definitely not Javelin or Vector.

Support
Rated by: aa777phil (more about me) on 2008-07-20 20:03:39 (user reviews) Review ID:2024

Pros: Great rig, Great factory support!
Cons: None

Just bought a used G4 with 75 jumps. Took it to Mirage to have the harness sized for me. Jeanie took my measurements and Gus said it would need new leg straps and the main web shortened. On Tuesday he said it would be ready on Friday. He called the next day and said it was ready for pickup. He even repacked the reserve. All for $175. I highly recommend the G4 and Mirage for their support. Great people.
