  2. Thanks for that idea. I'll keep this possibility in mind. But in this particular case seems like there's too many measurements not fitting. UPT wrote me back: "The 5.5” height, 4.5” waist, and 3” thigh difference tell me that the container will not fit you."
  3. Ok. Thanks for your input. I was wondering what could be the effect of the 'beer-belly'. :)
  4. Why this matters? Does it influences how well the rig fits on my body? But I would go for a 190 hybrid fabric main canopy first (manufacturer's largest suggested canopy for size 348 container), like Pulse 190 (last 10 jumps on a rented 188 Pilot, loved it). I would probably downgrade after I got through canopy course which I'm planning to do in August.
  5. This is a decision I have to make as soon as possible. I already tried contacting the manufacturer. UPT are on their traditional shutdown till 11th, so they're not answering. That's why I'm here. The measurements are the ones the rig was made for, the guy selling the rig send me a copy of the order form he used when ordering the rig. I did my measurements with the help of another person, I read a lot about how to take measurements, not only from one manufacturer and I did them 5 times to make sure they're correct. But please, focusing on what I asked, what would you suggest could be a reasonable offset from my body's measurements to still be considered fitting for each measurement? Like +/- 2" for Torso (as an example) and so on... Thanks.
  6. Hi. I'm looking for my first used gear. Doing so through internet is slightly more terrifying... I can't put it on and feel if it fits. So first of all, direct example: There's a guy selling his rig (Vector 3, size 348). The guy's dimensions are: Height: 69.5" Weight: 165lbs Waist: 35.5" Torso: 17.5" Legpad: 33" Inseam: 33" Chest: 37.5" Thigh: 24.5" My dimensions are: Height: 74.5" Weight: 165lbs Waist: 31" Torso: 18.5" Legpad: 31.5" Inseam: 35.5" Chest: 36.5" Thigh: 21.5" Simple question - will it fit me? Most measurements didn't seem that different except for waist and thigh. Are these very important? I mean the waist for example could be a guy with the same body type but with a beer-belly.... Could you please give me tips on what measurements to pay attention to and how +/- from my own measurements they should be to get a well-fitting rig without getting a chance to actually put it on... Thanks! Artis
