SkydiveNFlorida 0 #1 September 25, 2003 it says 5'7" to 5'8", i'm 5'5", but was wondering how large this would be. It is going to be hard to find used gear in the best size for me. I tried the a-14 and it is definitely small in the yoke, tho i'm not sure if I might just get it anyhow. thx. Angela. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #2 September 25, 2003 Quotei'm 5'5", If your inseam measurement is 29" then a 16" MLW should fit you. The C yoke is sized more for guy-type shoulders than for women's shoulders. Know anyone that has a C16 Javelin you can try on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveNFlorida 0 #3 September 25, 2003 I'll ask at the dz this weekend. Am I stuck just looking for a b-15 or bust? Sux to be so limited:( thx! Angela. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacy 0 #4 September 25, 2003 angela- my rig is a B15 measure. you are more than welcome to try it on this weekend to see how that size fits. I had a C16 or 17 (can't remember) that i had as a first rig as well, bought it used. It fit fine. It was probably a little long, but still a great improvement from rental gear. __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bkdice 0 #6 September 25, 2003 I'm 5'4" and jump a J1 with a C-18 harness. Do able - yes. Though in all honesty, I wish I had held out for a B-15 or B-16. It is just too big. The rig slides around a bit, which was especially a pain in the ass when I was first learning to sit (to have to compensate for the ever shifting rig). I have to have the chest strap done up real tight. It's served me well, but I can't wait to get my custom fit Wings in 2 weeks.

Strangely enough, my J1 is a B15. It's snug, and there is no way I could jump it with winter clothes on, but hmmmm, Florida, B15, Jedei.....Hmmmm. Anyway, If I could find a decent C yolked rig in as good of shape as my J1 (and the same size container, no bigger) I'd consider selling and/or trading the Javelin.
