indyz 1 #2 November 13, 2015 I'm 6' tall with an average torso length. I jump a V308 and wish I had gotten a V320. The bottom of my container sits pretty high. It's not difficult to reach my PC, but I would have preferred it a little lower. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hillson 0 #3 November 13, 2015 I have a 308 and a buddy has a 319 (also fits the same as a 320 but is even longer). In the grand scheme of things it really is personal preference, I think. My pud sits a little higher on my lower back his sits closer to the top of his ass. His looks longer and thinner (it is...duh) mine looks a little more full but the rig overall looks tinier. That pretty much sums it up. We are both 6ish feet and standard builds. Note: if you stuff the biggest canopies possible in there (OP 143 and a 135ish main) you're going to be hating life. It will be an absolute brick. Like no joke "vectors are bricks" type brick. Really don't even bother with the largest reserve and one of the "low bulk" 150s. If it works it will be fucking miserable. Plus...extremely tight rigs with extremely tight reserves can equal a very bad day if you have to go to plan b. If you're looking a bigger sizes get a bigger container. For smaller stuff it is like wearing a cloud. I have a xf2 109 and OP126 in mine and it is a dream. Barely weighs 20lbs. [edit] I've had a 109, 119, 129 in there with the same reserve. Comfort in that order. The 129 was a bit bulky / meh on comfort. Buddy has used a 107 and a 120. Started with a OP143 and switched to a 126. So that's that, I guess.

riggerrob 558 #5 November 15, 2015 Your choice of containers is directly related to your torso length. For example, I may stand 6 feet tall (32 inch inseam) but have a comparitively short spine, so tend to wear medium-length harness/containers. OTH guys who are "long-waisted" will be more comfortable with long harness/containers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
