Magnetic sliderkeeper on Wings

[Paraservice 0]

Any good ideas how to install a magnetic slider keeper on a Wings?

I'll do it just as the guys from RI on the Curv. I have a repack this weekend and I plan to ask my rigger to sew a loop close to the binding tape. I had a loop sewed lower before, and it was too low for keeping the slider stowed, it came out all the time.

You might have to sew it on. Use the first row of stitches in binding tape following needle holes. During your reserve repack sew in the bottom row. Make sure you don't sew together any parts of your reserve. (see pic attached)

No need to sew it on your rig.

No need to sew it on your rig.

But on a wings that will put the elastic under the reserveflap.
Not as on other rigs (vector or javelin), you need to place it there before closing the reserve.
And most riggers don't like that

@Hellis, Thx.

Exactly.

To elaborate a bit more on my reply before. You can sew a loop like this one:

Then, with any standard magnetic slider keeper, like skysystems' skytie, you can just cut the elastic and sew some velcro, and put that velcro around the loop. That way the keeper will not interfere with the reserve flap, and in the unlikely event of an entanglement with the keeper during a cutaway, the velcro should release from the loop and leave. Just don't sew the loop too tight and don't double-mate the velcro, as this would require too much force to release.
