Thank for your input. I gave it back to the rigger, told him what you said and about the problem, he repacked free of charge and there seems to be very little in the ears now. It made the problem better, but still not "great". One of the covers will still not fit inside the "pocket", maybe 85% is inside and the bit closest to the canopy sticks out. Both reserve and main is at max in the rig, however its a ZPX and fits pretty good inside the container and inside the rig. It takes some "knees on the bag" to close it. I dont understand how the loop length can affect riser covers, its "a diffrent part of the rig" isnt it ?

Hi. I recently bougt a 2001 Javelin Odyssey rig , but when i inspected it beforce purchase it did not have a main/reserve packed in it. After i got it back from my rigger fully equiped i notice that both riser cover flaps are really loose. It's like the "hard plastic" inside the cover doesnt fit into the pockets in the corner/edge on the back. As a result, they come off really easy in both freefall as well as on the ground/in the plane. After purchase I am informed that the old owner also had this problem. What can I do to fix this? I heard someone mention that the reserve can be packed lower in the rig, to give less tension on the top and as a result the flaps will fit better? I have also tried not using the cover "pocket", but tucking them under the risers instead but they came loose right away during freefall. Sucks to get "new" gear and be irritated every time you put it on :(
