Hey-- I'm new to the sport, just completed AFF and my first solo jump. I'm looking to start purchasing my own gear.
I'm really just try to shop around and find something that is relatively used, in good condition, and not too expensive. I've been looking at complete rigs, and containers where I would piece together the main, reserve, AAD, etc.
I'm about 5'10, weight 170-- Im looking for something with a 190 main, but I've noticed there really aren't as many full rigs or containers that hold such a big canopy.
A buddy of mine suggested that I find something that could potentially hold a 190, but may have a 170 in it already. He suggested I demo a 190 canopy for a while until I feel comfortable enough to drop to the 170.
I guess my overall questions are as follows: Where could I find a main to demo? How long can you demo it? How much would it possibly cost?
Thanks in advance--much obliged.
Andrew
