well, i wanna wingsuit in 150 more jumps so it kind of is going to happen soon with the volume i'll be jumping. ive been looking at mirage g3 and mirage g4 with options brand new container but it seems so expensive. I want a really comfy, well fit rig. I read the sizing list and im pretty sure i want to start with a 150 main as i'll be able to downsize and comfortably jump it for 1k jumps

I've been looking through the dropzone/ebay/word of mouth markets for the last 3-4 months and have an idea of the value of most items new and old. I was looking to buy the cheapest used gear I could but I came into some money so I can afford everything new but would prefer not to waste money. I've got 43 jumps and my A license with some freefly and tunnel, and tracking experience. my exit weight is only 170 and ive been using the rental 170 since its the smallest they have. I want to do a lot more tracking and get into wingsuit more importantly than a small swooping canopy and i hear wingsuit opens at faster speeds. Which parts are best for used and which for new? I would think the container is best new so it can be fitted? Is it necessary to buy a brand new cypres or should i just find one that has 1-2 years life left? does it matter if my reserve chute is new or PD brand name. where can i learn more about the main canopy and its progression? any advice is great! thanks a bunch -pjd

where can i find people who make really cool custom freefly jumpsuits, i dont necessarily have an idea in mind but I want something awesome

I am looking to buy a new rig but when I hear the name Sabre2 and Katana it reminds me of people swooping. Are these canopies less safe than the Stiletto, Specter, or even the Navigator? Isn't the parachute made and used to get you down safely? I have 120 jumps and have been jumping and packing a Sabre 2 190. I want to have a safe parachute for wing suiting or tracking hard when I am hundreds of jumps more experienced. I know they have to get smaller; but too smaller?
