skinnyshrek 0 #1 March 31, 2005 Have a question. Why is it you can't get the wrinkles around the closing flaps out on the mirage? I have had 4 riggers pack my mirage(2) containers and still can't get the wrinkles out. I know similar instances with other people. Is this a common problem? I'm not to fussy, its just that everytime i get it re-packed the rigger will call and explain about it... Thanks Leehttp://www.skydivethefarm.com do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats? ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?

katzurki 0 #2 March 31, 2005 Did you have the latest service bulletin mod done to your Mirage(s)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyshrek 0 #3 March 31, 2005 yes, i have a brand new rig and one that is 2 yrs old. Both have the same problem. Both were re-packed yesterday. The rigger tried for an hour to rid them wrinkle free..http://www.skydivethefarm.com do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats?

johnny1488 1 #4 March 31, 2005 The SB should not be visible when the rig is completely closed. I've found to get the rig to look good you really have to work the p/c into the packjob with the bulk to the sides. They dont like a ton of "ears" either, more of a wedge.

larsrulz 0 #5 March 31, 2005 What size container is it for that 176? PDRs have a greater pack volume than something like a smart. I got a strong urge to fly, but I got no where to fly to. -PF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyshrek 0 #6 March 31, 2005 Its for the 176. I clearly told them at Mirage what canopies i'm putting in the container before i ordered. I've had quite a few PM's regarding this and it seems like its a common problem.http://www.skydivethefarm.com do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats?

RkyMtnHigh 0 #7 March 31, 2005 I too have wrinkles in my Mirage G3..same area where you are referring. I've had it almost a year now and assume the wrinkles are set in for good now. I can't tell if it's a sewing or pack volume issue. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonto 1 #13 April 1, 2005 Agreed. The function of the rig is the best I've ever experienced, and its so comfortable I never think about it. It's a wrinkle. I have them in my jumpsuit too. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Half of fuck all is fuck all, and twice as comfortable is comfortable. I climb. I don't see reviews on 30 litre day bags that people wear for 15 min stints - sitting down - competing for which is the most comfortable, and I don't see climbing harnesses that you're expected to hang in for MAYBE 2 min going on about how comfortable they are.
