I have a vortexII that I have put 1500 jumps on (and put through numerous swoop competitions) and while a little dirty is still going strong.

My ONLY complaint with the company is poor customer service, which (in the US) is now a NON ISSUE thanks to Louis Tomasso.

Howsit dude,

I don't own one but i borrow a mate's to jump from time to time and i've found it to be nothing but super comfortable. My lady has also just bought a new one and is raving about it the way it fits.

A lot of people jump them here in SA and i've yet to hear someone complain about the way they're made or how they fit.

Hope this helps.

Not exactly sure what "easy fit" means, but if you try to exceed recommended reserve pack volume, your rigger will struggle and you will end up with an ugly rig, exposed pilot chute fabric, etc.

Little more Vortex II info (sizing):

The Vortex II's are very tight rigs. Mine is sized for a 120 main (and it was a SUPER, SUPER tight fit) and 120 Decelerator.

So far I've been able to put

Reserve:
120 Decelerator
113 PDR

Main:
120 Hurricane
109 XF2
107 Katana
96 Velocity
90 Velocity
84 Velocity

in the rig. I could not put anything bigger than the 96 Velo or the 120 'regular' main in it though. The reserve container will not fit a 129 reserve either.

I JUMP A VORTEX 2 AND I'M VERY HAPPY WITH IT.

THE RIG IS VERY COMFORTABLE AND IT'S FREEFLY FRIENDLY. IT'S ALSO RELATIVELY CHEAP ABOUT 1200 USD BUYS YOU A FULLY LOADED RIG.

IAN,

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN.CLOSING THE CONTAINER IS LIKE A GYM WORKOUT HOWEVER ..

PARACHUTESYSTEMS HAVE RECENTLY CHANGED THE SIZING OF THE VORTEX 2.

THE "NEW" 120 SIZE IS ACTUALLY THE OLD 135. SO THEY HAVE GONE UP ONE SIZE BIGGER.
