My guess is if you call UPT, they will be happy to sell/send you a few. I got a few from PIA this year... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erdnarob 1 #3 July 12, 2009 For many years I was using 550 lbs nylon suspension line sheating we often use for main closing loop. Now I am using a Vigil pull up cord which is made of a very soft but resistant material which is not hard on the fingers. I have few of them. If you provide me with your mailing address I will be happy to send you a couple.Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.

mjosparky 3 #5 July 12, 2009 That is similar to Type IIA which makes a far better pull cord. The ¾” Type III is just an advertising gimmick someone came up with a few years ago. The edge of the tape wears out the loop. SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funfall 0 #6 July 12, 2009 They are nice, aren't they? All I had to do to get one was buy a new Vector 3. Got another from the UPT rep at a boogie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blink 0 #7 July 12, 2009 I too use the soft Vigil pull up cords similar to UPT's. I simply emailed AAD (Vigil) asking them where on there website I could buy some more as they weren't listed, she requested my address and sent me some, including stickers, free of charge! A+ customer service! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erdnarob 1 #8 July 13, 2009 The nylon 3/4" tape wears the closing loop but not the one shown on the picture (UPT Vector) (I have one too) and not the Vigil tape like pull cord. Both seem to be made from the same material. Their material is soft and the edge not sharp at all. Try one.Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.

Just got an email back from Vigil saying they'll send me some new ones, also like above, free Don't try to live forever, you will not succeed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hellis 0 #13 July 14, 2009 You lost, wheres my money? as i said they dont list them as a product. i got a pm from a very nice person that will send me some cords.if 'everyone' think these are the best pull-up cords, why cant they be bought somewhere? i think i looked at all skydiving related webpages for them. when we are talking about cords, does anyone understand whats so special about these cords? http://www.lookma.de/Starting_Page/Products/Pull-Up_Cords/pull-up_cords.html i understand the text, and it sounds great. but when i look at the pictures i get confused. Quote Close the container and remove the Pull-Up Cord without any further manipulations. i dont manipulate anything normally, so whats the difference from all other cords?

erdnarob 1 #14 July 14, 2009 You should know that everything is in evolution including AAD's and rigs as well. What has happened yesteryear is not anymore what happens now and this for everything including opinions. The new President is one of the good examples to illustrate this.

They're often offered free and as promotion. I have no idea what the deal is with the cord in that link but it's probably similar.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...
