Ready to buy

[flyingpig 0]

Well, it is time for me to buy a new container. Being a relatively new skydiver (30 jumps), I have not jumped many different containers.

I sold my Talon in December but kept my Raider 220 main and Raven 2b reserve.

Any suggestions on good containers?

dude i just went thru the search for a new container.
in my opinion infinity rocks, they are very well made.
from what i hear they allso have the fastest turnaround time on their oders. i went new on pd reseve, main, and cypers. i scored an infinity container off the net, so i could get my rig up right away. Ralf at western parachute sales has them in stock.good luck on your search, blue skies

There's a few threads on this both here and in the general skydiving forum. Do a search on "favorite container" in both forums for a bunch more opinions.

I love my Infinity. 4-6 week delivery, a couple hundred bucks cheaper than the heavily advertised containers, excellent customer service from the factory, several riggers that I have a lot of respect for have told me they think it's the best built and engineered container on the market, it's super comfortable and I think it looks sweet.

I'll third the Infinity. I just started jumping mine a couple of weeks ago, and it's brand new. Shipping time is about 5-6 weeks, and it's solid as a rock. If you haven't had a container built to fit you, you're in for a real treat!
From what I've seen, anybody you ask will tell you that the container they bought is the best. Wings is quite popular, and it and the Infinity seem to be the best bang for the buck. Basically, if you get a custom made container, I'm pretty sure you'll love it!
