Albatross 0 #4 January 2, 2003 B refers to the Yoke size and the 15 refers to the length of the main lift web. Check Sun Path rigging's web site for a better description and the numbers. B is a small size usually for small women.Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 37 #5 January 2, 2003 opefully your about 5'5" and LT 150 lbs for the rig to fit. B is yolk size, the width across your shoulders. A is the smallest and I've only seen a few of them. Most men no matter how short end up with a C. 15 is the length of the main lift web and doesn't relate directily to measurements on your body. most 5'10'" guys would end up with a 18, 6' 4" 19.5 or 20. 15 is pretty small. Hopefully you've tried it on with someone experienced checking to see that it fits. The only thing I can think of that you might watch out for is soft cutaway housings. Most Javelins that had soft housings have had them changed to hard housing for easier assembly and cutaway pull. I don't see any APF service bulletins for the Javelin that would apply. There is a change to the main closing loop anchor but in theory your Javelin was manufactured after the affected dates. Check out the service bulletins at http://www.sunpath.com/ for a description and ask your rigger if yours is ok. Some Javelins have double thickness leg straps. I think yours might in that range. These double thickness legstraps tend to get wear along the sides of the surface from the friction adapters. Sunpath has had to repare some harnesses due to this damage. Have your rigger check for this wear. It fuzziness at the sides of the surface of the legstraps. Also have your rigger check the grommets. (He probably will on his own.) I had some Javelins that have had lossened or damaged gromment on the reserve container. This sound like a lot of stuff but all rigs have some things like these going on. There have actually been relatively few problems with Javelins. Blue Ones, TerryI'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #6 January 2, 2003 >A is the smallest and I've only seen a few of them. Sunpath actually makes smaller then A. I believe they call it Y. One of the fourm posters here has it and its like a Y14. If the factory does any work on your rig they will put the main closing loop mod on it for a small fee..Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ducky 0 #7 January 2, 2003 In the event it DOES have soft cut-away housings they can be replaced fairly cheap. My rigger ordered one for me I just gotta drop it off and have it done. kwakSometimes your the bug, sometimes your the windshield. Sometimes your the hammer sometimes your the nail. Question is Hun, Do you wanna get hammered or do you wanna get nailed????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually means O13. But I would check with Sunpath just in case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunpathtalbert 0 #13 March 24, 2014 You are correct, ASAP = As Short As Possible. More than likely this rig was built for someone short, but stocky. Or someone short and stocky bought it used and we adjusted the main lift web for them. The C yoke provides for room in the chest, both front to back (think pectoral muscle through to your shoulder blade) and side to side. The ASAP provides a main lift web short enough to keep the rig from moving up and down, or having the chest strap too high under canopy. If you ever have questions about our gear feel free to call us at 910 875 9002. Thanks! Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
