skyblu3 0 #1 March 23, 2007 Hey, I just bought a used Icon, pic attached. It's an I-4 manufactured in 2005. It's got all the extras including cut-in laterals. I don't know why Aerodyne has cut-in laterals standard on new containers, I am not convinced that they are more comfy. If I tighten the leg straps tight I feel the lateral webbing pressing against my hips. The previous owner was a little smaller than me but not much, not that much smaller where harness size should be an issue. The harness fits fairly well. With my old rig (an older Infinity) I used to tighten the legstraps as much as I could, granted the harness was a little big for me. With this one should I just make them tight but not over do it in order to avoid the cut-in laterals from digging into my sides. I'll get some more pics up once I get the time to install my main canopy into the container. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EAerodyne 0 #2 March 23, 2007 Hi Nick, A picture of you with the rig on would be far more helpful, than the one posted. The cut in laterals are standard on our smaller icons as requested by the majority of jumpers jumping them, (we try listen to the customer and give them what they want) We used to have the rig without the cut in lateral, however we had complaints that it wasn't offered. A Harness that is made for you, will always be more comfy than a harness made for someone else. although you guys might be quite close in size, you could fall into the next harness size category, by being a mere centimeter taller than him, or heavier than him. Hard to say really.... best we could do is for you to have you take your measurements, and see what harness size you should be, compare it with what you have and if you'd like replace the harness on that rig for you. Harness change will cost you 300 dollars and should take around 3-4 weeks to get back to you. Kind regards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyblu3 0 #3 March 23, 2007 Hey, thanks for the offer. It's not really an issue that's bothering me. I was just after opinions from other Icon jumpers. I understand that it's not custom built for me and these issues are always gonna crop up. It was my choice to buy used gear so I guess I can accept what I get? Thanks all the same.

skyblu3 0 #4 March 23, 2007 Actually, maybe i was jumping the gun a little. I just now finished assembling my main canopy and packed it into the container. With the container all packed up it seems to be a lot more comfortable. I'll get some pics up after the weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 643 #6 March 26, 2007 Lesson learned: you can only accurately check harness/container fit if it contains both canopies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
