girthy 0 #1 September 12, 2012 I ordered my V3 a few months ago. I had a rigger measure me and order it. Its supposed to be complete in December. Today i double checked the measurements, and all the measurements seem a bit large. Waist, chest, torso, and leg strap are all a bit big some measurements by 2" over what i measured. Is this normal in case of jumping in cooler weather? or was this done incorrectly? Im going to call friday and question it, but wanted some insight first.

Rule number 1 about measuring for jumpsuits and rigs: Don't measure yourself. If you were wearing more or less clothing (or baggier/tighter clothing) then the measurements will be skewed."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
girthy 0 #3 September 12, 2012 I guess my biggest problem was the torso measurement. I think i can measure it ok. Base of the neck to hipbone point measurement. im getting 2.5" larger measurement. This seems to be a lot and im guessing the main lift web will be to long? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
likestojump 3 #4 September 12, 2012 one more time : self measure = all bets are off. Have someone else who can follow directions well measure you. Or pay hundreds of dollars to re harness. Your choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #5 September 13, 2012 When I worked at Rigging Innovations, less than 5 percent of the new harnesses drew complaints about poor fit. Half the complaintants had measured themselves. Bottom line, ask a rigger or tailor to measure you - while referring to UPT's measurement chart. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
girthy 0 #6 September 14, 2012 Ok, thanks for the advice everyone. Just sucks because the DZ i went to and had it ordered from is just over 3hrs away. I'll call them tomorrow and talk with them. I want it to be perfect, just trying to avoid a drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll call them tomorrow and talk with them. I want it to be perfect, just trying to avoid a drive. When I got my V3-M and packed it, it didn't feel right. After talking with UPT and sending some pictures back and forth (even visited their production floor), turns out, I didn't distribute the bulk properly in the reserve. Moral of the story: make sure your rigger knows how to pack the V3 or it could feel 'off'.
