Looking for a comfortable altimeter...

[mitsuman 0]

well the last 2 jumps i've used the galaxy (i believe) that the DZ provided and i must say that big ass O ring is not comfortable at all, especially when flaring.

any different kinds of altimeter that doesn't require any o ring around my fingers?

thanks

I own an Altitrack, I find it very comfortable.

Rubber mount, angled offset on your hand/wrist and a nice flexible single finger ring.

There are alti mount straps that go around the thumb and palm, without the o-ring over the fingers.

Other options- a wedge that goes on your chest strap or a bracket that goes on your mudflap. If you are a student, ask your instructors about your options.

50 donations so far. Give it a try.

I have tried all sorts of altimeter mounts but still prefer the Velcro wrist mount.

Any altimeter mounted on your mudflap or chest strap. The mudflap is probably harder to fall on and hurt yourself with.

When I first jumped with my Galaxy I put the rubber ring around my index and middle finger. It is really uncomfortable when squeezing your hands (as when flaring). I now put the ring over only my index finger and it's perfect. No pain or soreness and it's comfortable. Did you try repositioning the ring?

You can always jump with gloves on and you won't even notice the O ring is there. You will also protect your hands for those botched landings.

i tried the wristwrap a few years ago and have nver looked back... it's the most confortable hand/wrist mount i've come across

Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time

no i didn't try to reposition it. i will try it this weekend thought.

and that wrist mount mounts up to the same galaxy? cool.
wasn't sure if it was compatible.

thanks guys
