Talon 2
Rated by: Zimmy (more about me) on 2006-02-22 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1485

Pros: Comfort and outstanding customer service
Cons: None

I purchased a Talon 2 from DZ.com and sent it to RI to be reharnessed. I am 5'2" tall with a short torso. I wanted a double articulated harness, two pillows for handles, with the chest strap below the bust line. The rig is PERFECT!!! It is so comfortable. I want to say "Thank You" to RI for a GREAT product and outstanding customer service!

Rated by: tinfoil (more about me) on 2004-01-07 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:897

Pros: Good Looking (don't trust the picture), Safe, Excellent CS
Cons: Nothing I can think of

I've been jumping that Talon rig that was made a few months before they started calling them Talon2's (I can't see the difference between them) for a few months. All the flaps are well secured, done a little bit of FF with it and nothing came open. Less then an inch of bridle showing on my container. The main is easy to pack, and seems to have the worlds shortest closing loop. On my container the loop is attached to one of the flaps, not to the bottom of the main packing tray. It’s different, but it works. You rigger might need a little skill while packing the reserve, right now my left riser cover pops open all the time because of how the reserve bridle of folded. Its an easy fix I’m sure but a pain when you on a trip. The few times I needed to call the company, they have been very helpful and friendly, answered all my questions. I think it’s a great rig, made by a great company. My next rig will definitely be made by Rigging Innovations Inc. Oh, and the Velcro toggles are great, all the excess break line is stowed between the toggle and the riser, but it doesn’t touch any of the rough Velcro.

Talon 2
Rated by: JPA (more about me) on 2002-11-09 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:606

Pros: Simple, safe and inexpensive
Cons: Not as comfortable as a jav/mirage

I bought a Parachutes Australia Talon 2 T2 DOM 2000 and put just over 120 jumps on it. I loved it and never had a problem at allpaces on more than one jump . I certainly put it through its but it always performed. What I liked the most was the ease of packing - especially the closing sequence - and the complete bridal protection. Most modern rigs have these features, but for me the Talon is very user friendly. Basically I think it is a good rig for all diciplines. Go hard.
