chutingstar 1 #2 March 12, 2007 Candace of Vigil USA told me last week that the Vigil II should be available by late March or early April. But no guarantees, and no orders can be placed with Vigil USA for the Vigil II at this time. Dealers will be notified a day or two before the release...and I currently have 6 orders waiting to be placed for Vigil IIs. At the PIA, Vigil reps said it will be sold as the Vigil II. With the new features including the unit being waterproof, a flatter profile and a longer lasting battery (10 years or 2500 jumps). The price should remain the same at $1199. Anyway, all of my customers who prefer the Vigil over the other AADs seem to be content to wait it out for the Vigil II instead of taking the original Vigil. With all things being the same (as for price and/or service), support your local drop zone, dealer or gear shop and buy locally.

koppel 4 #4 March 12, 2007 that could simply be the difference between Minimum - Vigil Guarantee this amount of time/jumps expected - Vigil expect this amount of time/jumpsI like my canopy... ...it lets me down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From Vigil comparison: - Expected lifetime: min 1.000 jumps or 4 years Pete Yes, that was what they were advertising at the PIA symposium for the Vigil II. Also the replacement battery is going to be cheaper. I think right now the original Vigil battery is $145 and I think the proposed price of the Vigil II battery is $45.
