Easy fix and we old school swoop nunya's have been doing it since looooong before the reserve flap magnet was invented. Sew a square patch of fuzzy velcro onto the back of your jumpsuit collar and sew a mating hook velcro patch on one the end of a 2-inch strip of trim tape and then sew it to the base of the first patch. Once you pull the slider below the steering toggles, simply twist it up, wrap the velcro strap around it and anchor it back to the mating velcro. Your slider will sit collapsed right behind your head and well away from the reserve flaps. In the event of a cutaway, the velcro tears free with only a few pounds of tension. It works better than the magnet, is easier to reach and manipulate, and costs almost nothing to make and install. You can also skip collapsing your slider with the kill lines if you like. A tight twist will do the same thing and the strap (no more than 2 inches long) will keep it from unrolling. That will be one less thing to do while packing. thanks!

has anyone ever heard of a stowed slider causing problems with ep's. i was thinking if you had a self induced malfuncton after stowing your slider with a stow on your reserve flap, bad shit could happen right? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

the escrow process is basically usinga 3rd party to buy gear. say you want to buy a rig from me. you send it to chutingstar and they perform an inspection of the rig. if it is good to go, you send them the money and they send you the rig. basically just keeps everyone honest.

[replyAnyone here transport their rig on their bike? Any suggestions on the best way to do this? every weekend it's warm enough to ride. the rig is in the back t-bag. you just need to find one with a pop top. the rig fits and you dont kill your shoulders/back.
