    Contacts / Glasses

    I also wear contacts and I've never had a problem either. I wear the flexvision googles and they are fine. Todays soft contacts like to stay in your eyes. I would even ride a motorcycle with the visor up, going around 40 mph or so, granted it's not 120 as in freefall but they wouldn't budge. Some times I even forget I have them in. So any decent pair of googles should suffice. I should keep an extra pair (contacts) in the car. I think I'll start. Also, even if one came out, the other eye would be enough to land. If glasses fall off for whatever reason then both eyes are screwed... Blue skies

    Line stows

    Hey everyone, What is the best way to make line stows on a Triathlon with Spectra lines? Some say to double up the bands on the stow and some say not to. I bought the micro line rubber bands from Aerodyne and the pack video says to make one stow. The locking stows are fine but once you get past the cascades they dont seem all that tight. One guy said to "double" it and showed me,and said it will open. I have yet to jump this since I'm new and this is my first (brand new) rig. I'm practicing packing it since I learned on F111 and dacron lines. When I unpacked it that one double wrap took me two hands to unstow it! Dont want that to happen in the air and have a bag lock! Also aerodyne says to make the stow bites at least 3" or more. Then one guy showed how it would be possible for that long loop to wrap around another stow loop. I'm all confused on what to do! Any suggestions? Thanks and Blue skies
