Cypress Rental

[shveddy 0]

Random question:

Does anybody provide a Cypress rental service? I would like to spread out my new (used) gear expenses over time somewhat, but still want to jump an AAD.

If it doesn't exist, it should. 100 or so for the life of one reserve repack would bring in almost 4000 over it's lifetime (I think). It's also easily mailed anywhere.

Or should I just buy a used one.

Thanks

Well in the U.S., you'll want to talk to the company that services the Cypres units: SSK Industries. Here's a link to a newsletter that has a blurb on the rental program:

At that rate, I think it'd just be best to buy used.

Thanks though

Aaron,

Talk to Mary about renting a Cypres. She deals with SSK all the time (including getting me a loaner last week because my Cypres went on the fritz and needed to be sent in).

you can get a almost new main canopy for the same price as a new cypres, so why bother? you probably won't use it after all, right?

Unless you actually get to use it one day....then the price doesn't matter anymore, huh?

$2 is pricy, but what if the day you use one is, before you get your own cypres?
