pkasdorf 0 #26 February 26, 2003 In Uruguay I am the first and, as yet, the only one to have a Wings (we have no more than 60 current skydivers in this scarcely (3.000.000) populated country. I sure love my Wings container for all the reasons already stated in this thread. I highly reccomend it as an excellent balance of quality and price.

rickfri59 0 #27 February 27, 2003 My new Wings was delivered to my house this afternoon. Can't tell you how it feels to jump it, but it sure looks great! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #28 February 27, 2003 Quoteum, i'm not sure what kind of wings your looking at, but i've never seen one with secondary riser covers I think he means the yoke flaps that cover the reserve risers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rickfri59 0 #30 February 28, 2003 Thought you'd never ask! It's not rigged yet so it looks a bit deflated. At this point I can only wear it around the house. My wife won't let me take it to bed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nightjumps 1 #37 February 28, 2003 Well, lets see... I've jumped Javelin, Talon, Dolphin, and I've owned, 1 Reflex, 2 Vectors and 1, 2, 3.. Yup!! Three Wings containers. Always a perfect fit outta the box. Its THE most comfortable rig I've ever worn. Fully decked out including full tie-dye was less expensive than a low-end Mirage. My rigger loves me cause he likes to pack the reserve. And, Heather sounds sexy as hell on the phone BIGUN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mountainman 0 #42 March 3, 2003 Hi Rhino: I would say go for it ! My wife and I both bought a rig from Wings in 2001. They are very comfortable, very good for freeflying (from what I've done), and are VERY well priced. Be sure to go articulated. They look great and feel great. I know you live in MI, so if you ever come down I-75, shoot me a PM. I live 3 minutes from the Interstate (exit 125). I'll meet you at a gas station if you want to check out my rig. Let me know !http://www.brandonandlaura.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhino 0 #49 March 6, 2003 I am also having the same type of webbing that a chest strap is made of run behind the hip ring from the top piece of webbing to the leg strap. The the hip ring will maintain it's flexibility and I will have a 1 in 100,000 backup for that hip ring. Built in redundancy if you will. Arrows illustrate. People say "if that hip ring breaks you are dead anyways!" Maybe so? Maybe not? I've seen 6" pieces of SOLID steel break for no reason what so ever. In the highly unlikely event that the ring breaks or flaws I have the webbing as a backup keeping my happy ass in the harness. And you will hardly notice it is there due to it being behind the ring itself. Rhino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
