geanky 0 #7 September 24, 2002 Rob; come by the DZ this weekend and you can try out different rigs. Javelin (plenty), Vector (plenty), Wings (1 or 2), Mirage (plenty) and Voodoo (mine). I recommend you do this before you find yourself with a rig you don't like in terms of the fit. Let me know if you are going and when. Peace Out! PS. In case you don't recognize my name, it happens, look for the guy with his whole right arm tattooed. That should give you a clue. learn to fly in 3d Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grega 0 #8 September 24, 2002 Get MIRAGE G4, why? There are no rules when love is in question "George just lucky i guess!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisionAir 0 #9 September 24, 2002 Keep in mind that if your "old" container was bought as a used rig (and measured to someone else) that ANY "new" custom fit rig will be the most comfortable thing you've ever worn. Personally, my Wings is to me. Huh?!? What cloud?!? Oh that!!! That's just Industrial Haze Alex M. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Springo 0 #11 September 24, 2002 I have the new "Atom Legend" - and it is amazing. But then i am french and biased ! Alex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #12 September 24, 2002 I just ordered a second Wings. Very freefly friendly, very comfortable. The customer service is absolutely fabulous. I got the freefly pud handled pullout and love it. Mirage people seem to be just as happy, but I don't know about the customer service. I recommend the Wings, and have somebody knowledgeable take your measurements. Hey Judedre! Great picture!

VisionAir 0 #13 September 24, 2002 QuoteI just ordered a second Wings. Very freefly friendly, very comfortable. The customer service is absolutely fabulous.Quote Agreed...their cs is top notch! Even when they are trying and failing at making a red and yellow tie die that isn't orange. Turns out my tie dye swatches came from Javelin at the cost of Wings and no complaints at all to me. I didn't even hear about it until a friend moved to z-hills and started hearing the story. He also tells me that you can prolly get a good deal on a red-yellow orangish tie dye option from Wings while supplies last. Huh?!? What cloud?!? Oh that!!! That's just Industrial Haze Alex M.

They were doing a drawing every day during the Richmond boogie for 50% a new container. Too bad i never won. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

Forgive me for trying to make a funny that you didn't understand. As for Kelly's qualifications, a few years at RWS working on Vector 3's and a lifetime in the sport (the Farringtons are well known on the west coast and as a family have been jumping and involved in the skydiving industry longer than most of us have been alive, much less jumping) are two just off the top of my head. Something a bit different about Kelly's company - he doesn't have a bunch of non-jumpers sewing his rigs like some other manufacturers. He does the majority of the work himself, and he does very nice work indeed.
