madyuck 0 #1 October 24, 2004 I am going to buy a new container, and im trying to decide between a mirage G4 and an Infinity. The price difference is only about 500$ so im not too worried about that. I am going to get hip rings on either one. I have tried them both on, and they both fell very comfortable to me. I'm kinda leaning towards the G4 only because of the pin cover flap goes up instead of the Infinity pin flap goes down and curls under becuase of ease of packing and pin checks. If anyone could give me their input that would be great. I'm really stuck between which one to get. Thanks, Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #2 October 24, 2004 $500 difference isn't important? Damn, wish I had your gear budget. Anyway, I love my Infinity. Main flap has never budged regardless of whether I'm belly flying, sit flying, tracking or otherwise flailing around in the sky. Customer service from the manufacturer is above and beyond what I'd expect. And I think it looks damn sexy too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bdbrown 0 #3 October 24, 2004 I love my new Infinity, fit is great looks great and service just rocks...Hell I can pick up my whole rig by the main flap cover and it does not come undone. Bob -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madyuck 0 #4 October 24, 2004 I know the main flap on either rig will not come open, so im not worried about that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sundevil777 102 #6 October 24, 2004 To Infinity and Beyond! I will apologize in advance, but personally, I think G4s are a bit ugly, for all that it matters (not much, of course).People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonto 1 #8 October 24, 2004 I went with Mirage G4. That was 10 months and 400+ dives ago on the rig. I've used it for AFF, FS, freefly, Birdman, and I have no complaints at all. Justin was incredible on the customer support side. In January, I'll get a Mirage G3 as a wingsuit rig. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GraficO 0 #9 October 24, 2004 Infinity... Awesome construction, great pin protection, riser covers are bombproof, rigger frirendly, excellent customer service, great delivery times. Not to mention you will have $500 for jump tickets to jump the hell out of your new Inifinity. Mirage makes a good rig but in my opinion, yet many of they features are overdone. They end up putting more work into certain areas of the rig that don't need to be there and end up charging you for it. You really can't go wrong with either but I would take an Infinity over a Mirage any day of the week.... I own two Infinity rigs and am about to get a 3rd.

madyuck 0 #11 October 25, 2004 Are there really any differences that I should be aware of before I choose one??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like which features are "over done" I like both the Infinity and Mirage, however I prefer the upward facing main pin flap so I would go Mirage.______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J.

SeaKev 0 #13 October 25, 2004 QuoteAre there really any differences that I should be aware of before I choose one??? Hell, you've already mentioned 500 of them. There is a reason Infinity owners are so loyal, and it's not the money. VSE makes a bulletproof rig at a damn good price backed w/ customer service that will absolutely blow you away.

stuffit 0 #15 October 25, 2004 Save $200 and get the G3. I just got mine in 3 and a half weeks and its fucking great. Of course Infinity's are just as good, it was just a choice.

I have only had mine come open once, and that was doing 10 way and I got smashed against the door VERY VERY hard. Caught the bruises to show for it. 4 weeks or so on an Inifinity is almost to good to pass up! Save the 500.00 and go jump more!

I will be the first to say that Kelly has extermely good customer service and builds a quality container. There are major design differences between both rigs and i would be happy to point out the differences between both. Your dealer there at Air Ohio orders a lot of rigs from us and could also help you with this. I really appreciate Adam Buckners comment about our container being overdone and will take that as a compliment. Our delivery times are running 6-8 weeks as well. If you have any questions, please call me at 386-740-9222 or send me an e-mail to justin@miragesys.com. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites hookitt 1 #22 October 26, 2004 Why do you like the upfacing main pin cover over the Infinity's Main Pin cover? The Infinity's main cover flap is undoubtedly more secure. Mirage does a good job with the upfacing Pin cover though. I chose the Infinity due to the Type 7 Harness, the well designed riser covers, The ease of packing the reserve. The Reserve pilot chute design. It's a simple well designed comfortable rig. The customer service I've recieved has been second to none. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites JT-Mirage 0 #23 October 26, 2004 Ok, to comment on the previous post, we use the reverse closing system because for us it eliminates a wear point on the rig during opening sequence. So the rig will still give you the same pin protection thousands of jumps later. We also have type-7 webbing standard on all of our harnesses except for the Unisyn which we use type 8 for flexability and softness. The Unisyn harness was tested at loads many times higher than the human body could survive so the strength and the integrity of the harness is not an issue. I will close with once again stating that Velocity Sports makes a quality container and has great customer service. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites diablopilot 2 #24 October 26, 2004 I have the pleasure of owning both containers, and I can't say a bad word about either of them. Each one has a couple of features I really like. If money is no object the Mirage G4 is a great choice, I really like the tuck tab freefly/pull out handle.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

If the money is no problem i prefer the mirage but the Infinity is a very good option.Saludetes para todos...
