I have been jumping the Tandem Next since 1998. It is comfortable for the instructor and student and is extremely hard wearing. The rig is designed to be easily maintained and incorporates many features which make it very easy to use. Uncomplicated and easily replaced parts the Tandem Next is very cost effective for those that are looking for kit that will last. I have made 2500 jumps on the harness and container and although I am on my second main canopy the system still has plenty of life left in it.
