Swapping risers, different manufacturers

Are risers interchangeable between containers? Say vector risers on an icon ?

Thanks !

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. There are a few factors that need to match up. It depends on things like size of the rings on your harness, location of RSL ring(s) on the risers, and what type of RSL system you have or don't have. Your rigger can help you determine the compatibility.

Yes, 99.9% of the time in normal situations

... assuming you don't have totally incompatible rings (big rings on risers, small on harness)
... assuming it isn't a rare case when putting Aerodyne's long rings on a rig with cutaway housings which happen to have little stretch built into the system
... assuming it isn't a weird case like reversed rings from PdF or the early 1990s which some rig companies don't like
... assuming you don't have crappy toggle stowage on the risers combined with crappy riser covers

Those are not the typical situations these days.

The only big incompatibility issue these days is RSL / MARD connections -- if you want to use one, the risers have to have the ring on the correct side.
