I have jumped Dolphin container systems for the past three years and have been more than happy with the comfort, quality and great customer service. With the 2000 Dolphin model, Altico has added main riser tuck flaps, full main bridle protection and the tightest, most secure BOC pouch on the market. Most of my jumps are relative work "team" jumps, but I also freefly in this rig when I'm not jumping with my team.
The warnings of Dolphins not being "freefly friendly" apply to older Dolphins, just as it applies to older Mirages, Javelins, Vectors, etc. The new Dolphin containers are safe for all types of skydiving.
As a rigger, I like the simplicity of the reserve container. It is very easy to make a Dolphin's reserve container look good by recessing the pop top with a short closing loop.
I currently have two mini-Ds with 120 reserves. One has a 119 Safire main, the other a 89 Icarus FX main. All canopies fit well.
I recommend the Dolphin container for those seeking a high-quality, comfortable container at a low price. It is not the coolest looking container on the market, but it looks good and serves its purpose. And if you ever have any questions, problems or the need for spare parts, Altico has the best customer service in skydiving.
