miniFly 0 #1 June 17, 2003 Which one would you pick? The mirage has 30 jumps and DOM is Sept 02 with full options, unisyn, etc...for the same price I could get a brand new Infinity with all options and sized to fit. I been doing some research and I really can't find any pros or cons with either container, only that a brand new mirage is $1495 +++ and I can't figure out why.

sdctlc 0 #3 June 17, 2003 Unless the Mirage fits like a glove, I would go with the New infinity that will fit like a glove. Now saying the Mirage does fit like a glove, if the colors dont float your boat get the Infinity that is the colors you want.. Now IF the colors are what you want AND it fits like a glove then it is up to you to decide if the wait for a brand spanking new rig is OK for your needs! Some side things to think about is which one fits better into your style of flying (how does it feel on your back) If you can get one of each to put on do it given the fact that each rig will have a different feel in the air and under canopy.... ALSO which one has the "look" you like. Both rigs you mentioned are nice and you will find many people saying great things about each. I dont really know of many "off" comments about either. Personally I would tend to lean towards the infinity, again personal preference, but if you think about it your preference is all that really matters if the rig fits and has all of the current options that are considered top of the line in the industry today. Good luck in picking a new rig! Scott C."He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miniFly 0 #6 June 17, 2003 Colors suck and it doesn't fit like a glove. I seen the infinitys and they look pretty hot, way cheaper then the mirages and just as good for FF I think... I think I made my decision :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are several of us here that jump Mirage. And only 1 that jumps an Infinity. However, there are many that jump Infinity in the Pacific NW. My suggestion is that you ask a few different riggers their opinion, and make an educated decision based on that information. Cheers!

Personally, I would go for a new, CUSTOM fitted harness/container, especially since we both know how important a good fit is. Have you decide on colors, yet? I assume that you are matching your new suit. Are you getting it through Ground Zero or sending it in yourself? I am getting a new custom fitted RW suit myself because my used RW suit that I had altered just does not fit me in the right places. I am sending my RW info through Ground Zero myself because I want Kama to measure me. She knows what she's doing. Let me know when you are going to jump, again. I will probably go on Thursday to collect my free birthday jump! See ya around.
