dpreguy 14 #1 January 25, 2016 At boogies I remember the PD booth where you could try out a PD canopy. Your bagged main canopy would be detached from your rig and placed in a bag with a flap that had: Snaps? or Loops or Velcro?? etc to hold the risers in stasis in perfect order. The prepacked and prebagged demo canopy came out of a similar bag, was placed on your harness rings, etc. You jumped it, it was taken off, and then your own packed and bagged canopy was reattached. Other mfgs have probably done the same thing. Anyone have the details of the riser-holding features of these temp storage bags? Or a picture of the whole bag and a detailed picture of the riser-holding parts on the flap? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theplummeter 15 #2 January 25, 2016 I've seen that setup from manufacturers for sponsored jumpers before. It's a flat sheet that holds 3 or 4 packed setups and rolls into a duffle bag for carrying and storage. The one I saw was made by NZAerosports for a test jumper in Colorado.

dpreguy 14 #3 January 25, 2016 "Flat sheet with 3 or 4", Wow, would like to see it. I am looking for a/the proven setup for keeping the risers in stasis so they can be reattached/reunited with the rig without error. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TommyBotten 0 #4 January 25, 2016 This one is the PD version. I think snaps do a better job than velcro would ever. Hope the pictures are good enough. Let me know if you need a different angle.

Baksteen 84 #6 January 25, 2016 My GF and my mother made me something like that out of an old handbag and two mismatched carabiner-like hook thingies we found lying around the place. Just hook up the risers to the carabiners and bob's your uncle. Having written 'L' and 'R' on your toggles also helps a lot when reattaching risers to your rig. Plus of course, it's a great steering and navigation aid while under canopy.."That formation-stuff in freefall is just fun and games but with an open parachute it's starting to sound like, you know, an extreme sport." ~mom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
