  1. The speed 135 packs very small. Much smaller than the 126. The fabric is I believe 20/40. flies and land well. The one that I packed was considerably smaller that R-max 118. The only down point is the price
  2. You can deepen the brake setting to correct this.
  3. Yes, it works very well. You can leave the pocket open with no need for either velcro or tuck tabs. Placing the pocket properly will put tension on the pocket and keep things in order very nicely. I've been jumping this with HMA lines and have other people testing this bag all with HMA lines. So far I have not found a problem
  4. I sprayed a pieced today, no discoloration. I hope to see the rig soon. I can't help but to think something is missing from this equation
  5. I saw that. It looked to me like a ring from a glass or beer can or something like that. I was nothing to worry about, just a cosmetic thing. Next time you have it repacked have your rigger try and clean it.
  6. yup, on the risers. We put it on the confluence wrap about a month ago
  7. They look pretty nice, isn't this a little close to advertising?
  8. couldn't agree more. You would be surprise how many people are terirfied of this bag. I worked the kinks out on mine and have been having our sponsored people test it somemore. No complaint, evrybody likes it, just some worried people until they take it to terminal and find it deploys very nice
  9. I use a free stow pouch and two blue skybands to close the bag. I have video of my deployments and no line dump. They meter out of the pocket very nicely, much to my surprise. There are no rubber bands to stow the lines "tight" enough prevent dump. I believe this is a myth that is assumed to be true because rubber bands are used so widely, therefore they must be good? wrong, in my opinion. The slider had the most direct effect on the deployment of the canopy. again just my opinion
  10. Done, waiting for small rings to finish RSL's should ship this week
  11. The infinity design has stayed unchanged for more than a thousand rigs. that should say something. Also it had no service bulletins. Did I mention it has no service bulletins?
  12. Ditto but try the stuff that has UV protection in it, I use tectron
  13. Mesh bag in a front load machine on delicate
  14. I use one with a strap I put on before climb out. I use the strap because the base doesn't sit square on the vid base and cause it just cant hurt. unscewing the plate to change tape isn't a big deal to me, the trade off is worth it to me
  15. agreed I have been working on a new bag you might be interested in trying with your new rig.
