Container TSO'ed Weights

Recommended Posts

I've been out of skydiving for a few years and I'm considering getting back into, but I've gained several pounds. If I remember correctly, most containers are TSO'ed for a maximum of 254 lbs. I would estimate my exit weight at 315 lbs.
Besides a modified tandem container are any of the current "sport" containers TSO'ed for this much weight?

Javelins are now updated for that limit. Getting a used one thats newer with the updates under the new TSO will be hard.

I think Wings are also and possibly Vector3's. Email Sunrise and RWS to confirm on those.

The bottom line is check with the manufacturer. I have a close friend who jumps a lot and is very close to your weight. His main in a cobalt 150. I think his rig is a mirage, but that doesn't mean it is certified for his weight necessarily.
