Elpnor 5 #1 Posted May 1, 2019 My rig is getting a bit long in the tooth and I'm thinking about buying a new one. Anyone want to throw out 4 cents and give an opinion on the most comfortable rig for us really big guys? I'm 6'8" with a 50 inch chest and broad shoulders. I currently jump a vector with a sabre 2 230 which has never been terribly comfortable. I totally understand that the patterns for rigs aren't meant for my species and will never be ideal, but maybe some are better than others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm 6'8" with a 50 inch chest and broad shoulders. Best one for me was the WingsEXT. Comfortable, longer, so the reach to pull was not as far up my back, etc. 6"6" 250# and jumped a disparate reserve & main. Main was a 169 and the reserve was a 249 Dash-M. Had it custom built with only hip articulation. Hope that helps. Anvil Brother #2 Edited May 1, 2019 by BIGUN typing oops Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lyosha 46 #3 May 2, 2019 6'5" here. It depends. Ask manufacturers about back length. Currently I jump an infinity I-45 and it's nice and long. Vectors also do well depending on size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjklein4470 23 #4 May 2, 2019 I am 6-7 230, and I currently have three PMI Glide's and they are very comfortable. PMI or Infinity would get my vote. Side note: I had to use the PMI ace rsl last year, and it was perfect. I was in a violent spinning Mal, and I cut away the ace beat me by a mile, and to my surprise I had a perfect on heading opening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunpaq 1 #5 May 10, 2019 I got Glide when first came out. Perfect big guy rig as well as their Triton for a few hundred less. Jump 250 reserves and 280 mains. Very comfortable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
