V3 leg wing wear

[hjumper33 0]

has anyone thought of a clever way, besides just putting gaffers tape on it, to stop wear on the trailing edge of the leg wing where the mylar ribs are? Post pictures.

???

Wear by walking? Wear by landing? Or what?

Mostly walking around or going to exit points. It seems to be a pretty common issue (look at the leg wing of the v3 in the classifieds)

I avoid doing alot of walking in the suit. When it's not feasible to avoid walking, I use one hand to hold up on the top middle of the legwing (middle of bottom skin at inlet), which lifts the trailing edge off the ground.

Make the leg wing retract when not inflated, like my S-Bird's.

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

You can stuff it into the hole between your leg and you would walk like a penguin.
