  1. Just got a brand new custom Infinity and I'm in love. This rig is amazing and I've barely started jumping it. Cut-in Laterals, the end. I can't even tell I'm wearing it in freefall because it isn't moving an inch. Double wide leg straps are great under canopy too.

    I've only jumped it a few times, but I'm extremely impressed with this container and am more than happy for the money I spent on it.

  2. I've jumped Sabre2, Safire2, and Pilot. Of the 3 I feel the Pilot is the best canopy. I've owned a Pilot 188, 168, and just started jumping my new 150. They have all been consistent with soft on heading openings, great toggle and riser input response, and a sweet flare. My definition of a brisk opening on this canopy is what others have told me is soft on comparable 9 cells.

    Color coded packing tabs are a nice luxury, but not necessary.

    People say they don't like the short recovery arc. But I think it's nice since I'm not swooping it can only help me out in tight landing situations.

    Pilot's are for Pimps!

  3. Took advantage of an Aerodyne demo over the weekend and jumped a Smart 175. Although it was PRO packed as my main the opening was quick and on heading. Control was great, very docile. Flare was great, no problem landing the canopy. Note that this was not an actual reserve ride, but a testament to the flight characteristics of the reserve itself.
