Vulcan container

Don't think they were being made in 1986. Must've come out in 89 -90. Vector 2 knock-off. I had one for many years and it served me well. I don't think it's good for freeflying though, what with downward facing pin covers and possibly worn velcro riser covers.

I had one, got it secondhand. Never had a problem with it. It was a vector copy from South Africa. As I don't freefly I wasn't bothered about the down pointing pin covers.
Did a few head down jumps and several that didn't go according to plan (2 ways that spun out of control, we just held them for fun till breakoff).

Your local rigger will tell you if he/she will do mods to make it freefly friendly.

My was 1992 DOM and fitted with Sabre 170 (originally used with Stilletto 150) & tempo 170 reserve. It was inspected just before I sold it and the only reccomendation the rigger made was that the closure loop attachment point needed a piece of elactic either side of the grommet to prevent the risk of lines catching the grommet on deployment but that had never happened to my container to my knowledge (I knew of the rig from late 1994, bought it 1997 & sold it 2004). Riser cover velcro replaced when reserve & main fitted in 1997.

I liked it but DZ regulars were not keen on the (faded & dirty) colour. I care more about my life that the colour of my kit. Only sold it 'cause I got a good deal on an Atom & Cypres. I would have been happy to keep it.

Hope this help you.

Get out, Land on a green bit. If you get the pull somewhere in between it would help.
