AggieDave 6 #2 February 28, 2003 Wings How could you leave Wings out? Its the best all around container for the money, IMHO.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craig 0 #4 February 28, 2003 If your talking all around container as in Freefly, bellyfly, freestyle, etc. than it would have to be a container that is freefly friendly. Freefly friendly is just fine for bellyfly but it may not work the other way around. Some rigs may be easy to pack reserves in but don't offer alot of bridle or pin protection. Some might keep you pretty "busy" during a reserve repack and offer great pin and bridle protection. This all may be obvious to some but just trying to demonstrate some factors.

CanuckInUSA 0 #5 February 28, 2003 Dude ... I know you said you were sorry, but geez ... how could you leave out the Wings!!! Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallinWoman 1 #6 February 28, 2003 I'm with them....I vote other....for Wings. I jump something else...but after Skymedic's awesome service from them and the beauty of his rig, and checking out the pin protection, I vote Wings. ~Anne I'm a Doll!!!!

CanuckInUSA 0 #7 February 28, 2003 There was a mixup with my reserve tray when my Wings container was built (it turns out it really wasn't Sunrise Rigging's fault either) and yet they're building me a whole new container. Now how's that for stellar customer service. Wings rock!!! Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dreamsville 0 #20 February 28, 2003 My J1 seems to work for free-fly (head-down and sit)and RW as well. If something would actually be better, I don't have experience with all the different containers except for Mirage (was comfortable, only used it for RW video). |I don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline.

Kirils 1 #23 February 28, 2003 I've jumper the Mirage, Jav, Vortex, Stunts, Reflex, Dolphin and Vector III. Every one of these manufactures has had bad times and good. Mirage has made an incredible comeback and has in my opinion has the best customer service and it is at the top in quality. The Jav has had some problems with delivery schedules and friends have reported QC problems...but it still is a great rig on par with the Mirage. I have 4 chops under a Reflex and it was the best of the pop-tops. The VectorIII is awesome, with excellent construction and comfort. nuff said... Bottom line...demo them all and find the one for you. They are all good...you decide what is great for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raefordite 0 #25 March 1, 2003 I've jumped the Talon, Racer, Vector, Javelin. For small folks - I love the Javelin Odyssey, especially with an O yoke (smaller than an A yoke) and the low profile reserve handle (for those that still like a metal reserve handle) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
