    Techno

    Sjoeling reviewed admin's gear in Reserve Canopies

    Unfortunately I had to use my techno twice last year. Thanks to good spots I was able to land at our rather small dropzone and not out I the close by clear cut forest... I am loading my reserve with 1,74 pounds per square feet, and I can tell that when landing straight forward in zero wind conditions you cannot count on stand up landing - be prepared for the old fashioned PLF or butt slide. Does its job great, as a reserve... But in my next rig I will invest in a bigger reserve to have larger marginals.

    FreeZR

    Sjoeling reviewed admin's gear in Helmets

    I tested a freeZR i the Bedford tunnel in April and became interested in buying one. Received my new one in June and have made about 50 jumps with it. The helmet fits as if it was tailor made for me! The visibility is great and it is really comfortable. I have seen some comments regarding people who sense it as being easy to fall off. That is not my opinion (at least it does not go for me), I think the chin strap has been modified in newer models. For me it fits so well that even at jumps when I have forgotten to fasten the chin strap, the helmet stays on, does nor move at all... The visor is easy to open and stays closed even during freeflying activities. The only concern I have is if the closing mechanism/or rather if the hole in the visor, can stand winterjumping with -10-20 degrees Celsius... In total a fantastic helmet, that does its job!
