Mallachi 0 #1 April 13, 2013 Been out of the sport for about 5 years getting back in. I used to work at a DZ as camera and coach. But on to my main topic. I purchased a used rig and the leg pads are about 4 inches to short. Other than that the rig fits perfect. It is a Mirage G4, I seem to recall our rigger could make some leg pads to extend them. I now live completely on the other side of the country. So does the rig need to be sent into Mirage or is this something a rigger can do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rwieder 0 #4 April 13, 2013 Send it back to the manufacturer and let them do it. That's you best bet. About a $200.00 alteration + S&H. Sure will give you peace of mind when you deploy!-Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davelepka 4 #5 April 13, 2013 Just order some longer legpads, and have a local rigger install them. It's an easy job that shouldn't take more than 30 min. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,439 #7 April 13, 2013 Considering that you could just use one of those fuzzy seat belt covers for leg pads (what a fashion statement that would be ), yeah, they're not part of the harness. Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

Mallachi 0 #8 April 13, 2013 Thank you to everyone for the info. I thought it could be done by a local rigger, just been about 8 years since I worked at a DZ. I might send it back to Mirage as it does not have the Mirage logo embroidered on the flap, call me weird but I really like how it looks! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #9 April 14, 2013 The Mirage factory will cheerfully mail you a set of shiny carbon fiber/Cordura leg pad covers. New leg pad covers just slip over existing leg pads. They are normally worn by pro canopy pilots - to prevent abrasion of (structural) leg straps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
