wmw999 2,439 #26 November 8, 2003 It's the Mirage (I put Rapid Transit to differentiate it from the current Mirage). It was the follow-on to the RTS. Low chest strap, main container about the same, but the reserve is way different -- pins against the back, and a big sort-of triangular flap covering the pilot chute. unbelievably comfortable.

GroundZero 0 #27 November 8, 2003 yea... great rig, lot of those rigs use to jump here in Tennessee a few years back. Still have one jumper that jumps one currently and he enjoys confusing the younger generation jumpers with the name of his "older" rig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,439 #28 November 9, 2003 I quit jumping for a number of years, and used it when I came back. Folks would give me a hard time about it (comments about museums), and my universal all-purpose answer was "I bought it new" and they'd get real quiet all of a sudden Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

riddler 0 #32 November 10, 2003 Probably should have allowed for multiple selections for those of us with two rigs. One rig is 15 years old, and the other is three years old. They both have advantages and disadvantages. I'm really impressed that they last so long and maintain their useful life.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.
