SEREJumper 1 #2 April 17, 2011 I'm 6'3" and jumped a C17 for a while, it worked, but once I put on a C20 (what I need), I would never go back. That being said, there is more to the harness size than just the main lift web/ yoke. Leg pad, lateral, chest all are important. Best thing to do is get the rig serial #, container size, and DOM. Email Sunpath and see if they can look in their records of who the harness was made for and then compare your measuremnts to what they give you.We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coreefdiver 0 #3 April 17, 2011 Fwiw, I'm 5'-11" and Sunpath sent me a C-16 ETA: wow, i just looked at the SP data, strange. I am pretty sure i wrote down C-16 correctly. Now I will have to investigate this.DS#727, DB Cooper #41, POPS #11065, SCR #13183, FA #2125, SCS #8306, HALO #309 SRA #5930 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #4 April 17, 2011 I'm 6'2" and need a C-20 or C-21. you might get by if the difference is all in a short torso but a 17 inch is about what someone 5'8"-5'10" needs.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fill out an order form like you were getting a new ring, call Sunpath with the serial number, and see what they thing. I'm 5'10" and need a 19-20" main lift web. When one DZO measured he thought he made a mistake and tried again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 37 #6 April 18, 2011 You might get in it but 5'11" is for a normal torso length and normal weight. It probably won't be a good fit. But it may also be changed.

It does not have a strong relation with your high and weight. Its the measurement of your torso. Some has short legs, some long legs and they might even you the same size of harness. The best way to try as many harness you can and make a note what is the best fit. Not only on the ground, but also hanged from the 3 ring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mpower 0 #11 April 18, 2011 I just got my rig back from sunpath after doing a resize from a c-17 to c-20 harness, it took about 2 weeks and they did excellent job on it but it cost about $450 to do it. So if the rig doesn't fit you well it can always be resized. But like someone else mentioned if you have the serial number of the rig, you can take all the measurements of you as if you were buying a new rig and call sunpath and they can compare your measurements with what they have on file for the rig. That way they can also tell you exactly how much it would cost if you need to change anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lewmonst 0 #14 April 19, 2011 I'm 5'13" and a C17 fits me perfect. But I also have a 36" inseem, so I'm all legs, average torso. Height gives you an idea of fit, but it's all torso size that matters. I know someone 4 inches shorter than me that wears a c20. I also like my hip rings at the tops of my hips (pelvis), not low around the head of the femur. How long are your legs? (that's 6'1" for anyone who missed the joke)http://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berchtoldaj 0 #15 April 19, 2011 Its really your torso size that makes the difference. I'm 6'2 and I wear a D-21. So if you compare Lew and myself you have a 4 inch window of harness size & we're almost the same hight.************ Watch out for planters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
