DONT buy until you have your A license at least. you will downsize a bit as you exit student status. my canopy downsize path: 240->230->220->190 and soon i will be going to a 170. see what i mean if you buy gear now, you will most likely be downsizing not too far down the road. and thats more $$ you could be jumping with.my tip to you is when you do buy gear. buy a rig that is airworthy and used. if you are one of those stylish jumpers, then you will probably be looking for a while, but colors arent important for you first rig. but go to the classifieds tab at the top navigation bar and look around. you may want to buy the container, main, and reserve seperate. thats what i did for my first rig. good luck & blue skies jakeStep into my (sub)terminal Playground Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
