My exit weight is right about 180 pounds. I have been jumping (and will continue to jump) a student Manta. I also have access to a Pilot 188 and similar sized PD reserve in a Mirage rig that I can borrow until I'm more comfortable downsizing.

I'm really trying to decide if this would be a good rig to end up with. I absolutely loved the Infinity, and the Batwing was fun for a jump, but I still have a ton to learn before I would be comfortable jumping it consistently. I also realize that given the Batwing's low popularity that I would likely be its last owner.

Our local rigger found some gear for what could be cheap and let me jump them a few weekends ago. I really enjoyed both the container/harness and main parachute, but am not sure what to offer.

The harness/container is a 2002 manufactured Velocity Sports Infinity. It is all black and has stainless everything. It currently houses a Crossfire 150 and a tempo 150ish reserve. The whole thing has about 400 jumps and looks to be in very good condition (almost new with a few small signs of wear). The rigger looked over it thoroughly and thinks it's in great condition.

The canopy that I jumped with the container is a 1999 Precision Batwing 171. It looks brand new and just came back from Precision after an inspection/service/reline. This canopy was in a Dolphin container that I don't care much for. The rigger put it in the Infinity with a Cypres for me to jump.

Both of these rigs have been sitting for over a year and both of the owners have quit the sport. I'm just wondering what a fair offer for the harness/container and canopy would be.
