Description:
Rigging Innovations, Inc., in keeping with its legacy of leading the industry, is proud to announce the debut of a totally new concept in harness and container design. Named the VOODOO™, the new design is the world's first dedicated FreeFly harness and container system. Unlike current rigs which are descendants of 1970's speed star designs, the VOODOO™ completely addresses the needs of the FreeFly environment in terms of the attitudes and speeds encountered.

A Great Rig!
Rated by: Travman (more about me) on 2007-12-23 13:47:01 (user reviews) Review ID:1914

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 (more about me) on 2006-09-22 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1653

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 (more about me) on 2005-07-20 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1324

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.
