justinb138 0 #26 June 26, 2006 QuoteQuoteLighter, lower pack volume. Better colours & patterns (maybe transparent... that would cause a stir or irredecent, like a dragon fly wing) More comfortable harness... like my PG one (laid back) - better weight shift Ability to do ACRO (SAT, Loop, full tumbles etc..) Cheaper. . speaking of transparent, anyone remember that rig that was made several years ago, don't remember exactly how many, perhaps late 90's... It WAS transparent, for demonstration purposes... but not jumpable... i think it was displayed at a symposium or something... maybe it was a javelin? i don't know... I just remember seeing the pics in one of the mags... anyone remember? Yes. I'm pretty sure it was a Javelin, but I don't remember all of the details.

I have heard great things as well about their customer service but haven't experienced it first hand yet. I have heard a couple complaints from dz packers about the location of the main closing loop, that the wished it were located at the bottom of the container, (like the mirage?), instead of at the top of the main tray.

I have jumped them all and the only reason i would get any other container over a Wings is a jav for the back pad spacer foam. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

bob.dino 1 #36 June 26, 2006 Quotecan skyhooks be attached to any rig? either during the manufacture of a new one or as a mod to an existing one? No. A Relative Workshop Vector 3 can be retrofitted or ordered new with one. No other brand of container can have a skyhook added. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontiego 0 #45 June 27, 2006 About skyhooks... I've heard that relative workshop would maybe allow other manufacturers to use their concept... heard anything about that?"We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob.dino 1 #46 June 27, 2006 QuoteAbout skyhooks... I've heard that relative workshop would maybe allow other manufacturers to use their concept... heard anything about that? I believe Bill Booth (owner of RWS) is on record as saying it'll happen eventually, but I wouldn't hold your breath for it to be anytime soon. His reasons: - Commercial advantage - If it's licenced & the licenced version fails/kills people, he wants to make sure that it's not the idea of the Skyhook that gets blamed.
