I think the stowless bag might wear out the lines a bit faster... I have HMA500 an do about 400 jumps on them... dunno how this compares to using a normal POD with the same lines though. The son of the rigger who makes the mPOD is not using it on his new Peregrine because of the suuuuuper thin lines to avoid extra wear. He did use em with the HMA300 on his VC...

Hi, In Belgium we have two type's of "stowless POD" being made: The LazyBag: http://www.compal.be/LazybagEN.html They started without magnets but the more recent models are semi magnetic. The mPod: http://www.pgasus.be/start.php?pg=text&item=mPOD Fully magnetic design, this one is being made by our local DZ-rigger. Personally i have been using the mPod since jump N°100 and for me the best thing i bought since i started :-) I like to jump 8-10 times a day an really love the "packing ease"! I've used two different sizes for different conopy's ranging from Pilot 150 to VE and VC90. Used them in icon sport containers and in my new micron (ordered the micron with their "stowless bag"... used it for 2 weekends and mounted the mopod :-) ). Never had problems on openings (no unusual sh*t), i think i have 4 twists in 1300 jumps! Loads of people use them here in Schaffen and in Belgium (mix of both mpod and lazybag). Some people may not like/trust em but everybody just has to make their own choices :-) Cheers!

made something similar for the competition in belgium last weekend, included the .dwg file

Bought a reserve from the south of France in december 2012. Took almost a whole month to get to Belgium Was also with colissimo (basically the French postal service)
