Got that rig 2 month ago and i´m lovin it!
Had a Mirage G4 before, which I really liked, but in comparison, the curv is another level.

Almost the same main canopy in the rigs and the curv has half the thickness of the mirage.
It is super comfy on the ground, but in the air it feels like a italien suit, it fits absolutely perfekt.
Without a bungy the leg pads aren´t moving at all, had that all the time with the Mirage.

What I like the most is my stowless magnetig bag, I think it´s much easier to stow the lines with this one.

It feels a lot better in freefly, it´s moving much less than my old rig and even though it´s tighter, I can position my body better.

Only "downside" is the cutting knive, it is not really a downside, because it´s free, but you can´t even cut a banana with it, so I bought a aftermarket one.

I can totally recommend it, a lot of people on my dz own a curv and they all love it.

So I started with a Sabre 1 170 after I got my licence and after one of those well known killer openings and cutaway because of a line ripped apart, I decided to go for a brand new sabre2 150.

I have around 100 jumps on it now and i really like this canopy.
There are 2 minor downsides, even with some jumps on it, it feels like i have a brand new one with every packjob. I´m not a super experienced packer, but i packet a lot of chutes and this one is really hardmode for me.

Even people with 1000 packjobs + are having a hard time to put it in. Everyone on my dz says, that sabre 2 take forever do get a bit rougher, but on the other hands it´s a good thing, the material will live very long (I hope).

I had to learn a new pack technique for this chute, because i wasn´t able to get it in with normal "pro packing" I get really jealous when i see others with a pilot which is close to packing a comfy blanket

The other minor downside are the openings, they are pretty consistent and smooth, but never on heading. There is always a 90-180° spin to the right whatever you do.

Nothing that worries me too much, in general I really like the openings, only had one rough one in 100 jumps and I'm pretty sure it was my packing, not the chute :)

With 170 jumps in total I am not very experienced so I'm just starting to add a little bit of speed in the landings and I'm really enjoying it.
I noticed, that I have much more control over the chute while landing with higher speeds.
I only put some pressure on the front (no spin) and release them approx. 5m over the ground and land it on toggles.
It is super fun and I "swoop" for like 10m.

I know it´s not much but as a beginner it really feels like a 50m swoop :D
The Chute is super forgiving, never had a dangerous situation so far.
You can fly slow and safe if you want to, but even with the size of 150 and 1.4 wl you can go for good speed and kinda aggressive.

I´ve seen people go 50m+ with a sabre 2, so i think i will fly this one for a long time and even after this i would consider to buy the same in 135.
I think this canopy is good for beginners and even very experienced jumpers can have fun with it.
For me it´s the perfect all-rounder and I'm glad I went for this one :)

Hey folks,

So 2 days ago I had my first Reserve at about 120 jumps.

My super old Sabre 1 (170) with unknown jumps on it tried to kill me, after 70 jumps with super nice openings.

But this time he opened so hard, I saw stars, felt like my neck broke in the first few seconds.
When I recovered from that "hit" I looked up and saw some lines ripped apart.

After 10sec. I was sure I dont want to land this chute, at ca. 700m and a fully opened chute (but uncontrollable), I had plenty of time to make my mind ready for the first cutaway procedere.
Like I expected, the reserve opened fast and clean, I was pretty happy with that :D
The steering is strange with a reserve, almost no pressure on the toggles, I can´t compare with other chutes, but I saw some quick reserve landings from experienced jumpers and know how much they struggle with the landings an steering.

The optimum is super smooth on steering and the Flare is pretty good.

Obviously it´s not as good as a main chute, but I could land the 160 pd optimum super easy and stand on me feet.

I´m very happy for having a good reserve and don´t have to worry when i have to land it.
Thank´s PD, super cool chute, the sabre 1 suckz a little bit with random killer openings, but I will buy a sabre 2 150 within the next weeks.
