jverley 1 #2 December 8, 2003 Flexon were made by Ringing Innovations were the first rig with rings. I believe they only had lower rings. Each rig needs to be evaluated on its own merits based upon its condition. In general Flexon are fine rigs,John Arizona Hiking Trails Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #3 December 8, 2003 Flexon harness/container was introduced circa 1991 and was the first ringed harness to hit the market. Rigging Innovations built about 600 Flexons before production tailed off in the late 1990s.Most Flexons were built with hip rings FAST: Fully Articulated Suspension Technology), a handful were built without any rings, but large numbers were built with both hip and chest rings (Multiflex harness). Since it was the first ringed harness, the learning curve was pretty steep. Most Flexons have been back to the factory for a TTU (Tuck Tab Tune Up) and other Service Bulletins. The most important update involves re-locating the Cypres control head to the backpad. The Flexon was replaced by the '94 Talon (a simplified Flexon with trough style main riser covers), which evolved into the Talon 2 and Talon 3. The Voodoo, Genera, Telesis 2 and Aviator also include many Flexon components. Flexons are basically good rigs, your main considerations should be: is the harness sized for you and will it hold your canopies? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My friend had one of the Flexon's and he had absolutely no trouble with it. Good rigs come out of Rigging Innovations. My first was a Talon! Now go jump dammit!
