hokierower 0 #7 January 13, 2015 No idea what the point of those are...maybe for shorter people with shorter arms? I'd never use them though as they don't appear to have any sort of a hard cable housing for the cutaway cables. I personally have 24" risers that ALMOST require full arm extension to grab the dive loops. I like them as they give me the most leverage for grabbing my fronts for my turn. Maybe people who only use their harness would be interested...? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skow 6 #8 January 13, 2015 Probably not dramatically, but won't shorter risers shorten the recovery arc? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hokierower 0 #9 January 14, 2015 Pretty sure this was covered in depth on another thread here. I think I remember Ian Drennan saying that he'd jumped different riser lengths on the same canopy and couldn't noticeably tell the difference. I could be wrong though...
