- As far as looks go you cant go wrong, it looks great. - The rig sits very well. - Rig is cypress ready (I think all new rigs are these days) - Easy to pack, the lines stow very neatly on top of the D-Bag - Window in bridal to show kill line (You can see easily if the pilot chute is cocked) - Hook knife included with the container - Stainless steel hardware - Very good price - Internal riser covers. - Features the miniforce system (“This patented new system actually addresses the engineering behind the three-ring release system and effectively reduces forces on the cutaway cable by an average of approximately 35% at any given loading”) - Great service from Aerodyne
Other (personal preference if you like this or not):
- The reserve and cut-away handles are positioned more to the side of your body and a bit more towards the chest. On my other rig (Vortex II) the reserve and cut-away handles sit a bit lower and more to the front of my body. In my opinion this is a good thing since it is more difficult for the reserve handle to get pulled accidentally (if you like jumping with silver) - The BOC is a bit on the tight side. Free flyers will like this.
The not so good points:
- The rig material is softer than that of other containers. Im not sure how durable the material is. Only time will tell. - I have read a complaint that the leg straps slip. There is now a service bulletin for this. All the new rigs have modified leg strap so this should not be problem anymore.
