Is this point of stress something to worry about?

Recommended Posts

I just emailed Mirage but it might be too late since it's now the weekend. I just bought this DOM 05 M6 from another jumper. My concern is regarding if the back sewed attachment to the container is OK under these conditions. It feels good on me but the back seems to sit a bit low to the container than should be. Based on the pics is this still fine to jump until I wait for back from mirage for an answer?

That rig looks pretty big on you. What is the height/weight difference between you and the previous owner? Your pictures are harder to analyze because they are so close, but you definitely need to have your rigger take a good look at you with it all tightened up. If the harness is too big, you can und up sitting so low in the leg straps that the chest strap chokes you out, if it doesn't rip your face off on opening

*do you have the yoke up on your shoulders like up to the back of your neck?

It's pretty hard to evaluate fitment without the legstraps being tight. It's like asking if a formal shirt fits without buttoning it up.

The best idea is to get someone experienced to look at it in person. For the stitching you show, you should always get a competent rigger to look the rig over when you buy one. We are trained how to check and repair this stuff.
