TSE Teardrop SF
Rated by: signormeek (more about me) on 2004-01-23 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:914

Pros: Style, comfort, price, materials, build quality
Cons: Historical problems cause ignorant and unfounded bad press in the product

I have been buying Teardrops since 1990 and have always been impressed with the build quality of all of the ones I have bought. The style of the container and the manufacturors refusal to stand still where innovation is concerned makes TSE the brand to buy. Coupled with the product is a superb customer relationship that can't be matched, Thomas Sports make you feel part of the family.

teardrop sf
Rated by: deepblue (more about me) on 2003-04-02 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:675

Pros: very well priced.
Cons: some bad drop zone publicity. pop tops not too poular.

well having recently had a near death experience I can say i would never jump anything that has a reserve pin on the outer side of the container. I had a mid air collision with a friend who had a prem reseve opening. I passed through it and had his lines wrapped around the container and parted as i cleared. The evidence on the ground was that my container had friction burns all over it from his suspension lines and had some tearing. Anyway I firmly belive that a less well proteted reserve pin would have been torn off and left me in a very bad situation as during the collision my main had deployed. pop top saves my life despite needing a new container. both of us walked away from this one and both learned some valuable lessons. ts sf is the best rig on the market- bar none, despite what the gossip is.
