some people try to save every dollar so they can make a jump (me for instance) , If you can afford all the bling bling go for it, but most of the container is pretty comfy as is. If I can afford it, I sure like couple rig and jump suit to match. "A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones ..."

People did thousands of jumps with capewells before 3-rings came along. 3-rings are just there t make the rig look good and make the manufacturer money. --------------------------------------------------------- from uspa.org http://www.uspa.org/Publications/parachutist/online%20archives/2007/02.07/capcom02.07.htm In the '80s, the sport continued to grow rapidly along with real progress in reducing accidents. Bill Booth's 3-ring canopy release system replaced Capewells, allowing both risers to release simultaneously and quickly. Fortunately, the slider replaced the rings-and-ropes deployment system, necessitating fewer cutaways. During this decade, skydivers reduced the annual fatality average to 34.1. See how silly you sound ? --------------------------------- cadwell and three ring is safety issue more than a comfort is it ? also I have a right to voice my opinion even it sounds silly or not "A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones ..."

my rig is comfortable with out it, for $150 I rather make more jump and have fun than have a rig with all the option and after 3 to 4 years it well be worth half the price you pay for if your lucky you can sell it that is "A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones ..."

I'd rather pack how it was recommended: nose pushed back, slider pulled over, tail rolled tightly. ---------------------------------------------------- If the recommended way do not work (hard opening) you need to try different method and there is nothing wrong with psycho packing, I never roll or push the nose (cobalt,velocity,x-aos 21,)I roll the tail to contral the opening speed (like saber roll the tail 10 times or more ) that and slider on the slider stop. I roll the nose on my troll because it open hard on terminal (I have valve on it) twice it open harder than not rolling the nose(It might not do the same for other ) so I never roll the nose any more(ever canopy, same make, same option well act different) "A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones ..."
