I work for a skydiving equipment retailer, so I can have pretty much any container I want. My choice was the Infinity and I couldn't be happier with it now that I have it.
This rig is incredibly comfortable, both in the harness and the container. Mine has hip rings, which I highly recommend regardless of the brand container you choose to buy. I've put eleven jumps on mine so far, about half RW and half freefly, and I barely know it's there in freefall. Under canopy the extra wide leg straps are very comfy, and even with stainless hardware I've had no problem with them loosening up in the plane or in the air.
Price and delivery time are two big selling points. As of January '02 delivery time for a custom Infinity is down to four to five weeks, which beats the "big boys" eight to twelve weeks hands down! The price, even once you put some options on it, usually works out to US$100 - $200 less than a comparably optioned Vector 3 or Javelin, and US$200 - $300 less than an Odyssey or Mirage.
The highest quality construction and materials are used throughout the rig. Velocity Sports is a small company and as such can provide rapid response to customer service problems and requests, another big selling point for me.
Flap security - it's been mentioned in other reviews here and I agree; the flaps on this container are bombproof! Although the main flap closes at the bottom I have no doubt that it's going to stay shut regardless of what body position I'm flailing.. err I mean flying in.
Overall I can't say enough good things about the Infinity harness/container system. Do yourself a favor; if you're in the market for a new rig, look long and hard at the Infinity before you make your decision!
