Terminal-V 0 #1 December 28, 2004 Hello Everyone, Has anyone every owned both or jumped both and if so which do you like better. I know alot of people jump Javelins but are the really all that cracked up to be. some people I have talked to say they are not. but that was only a few people not a on line community. I know the extras for the Javelin can add up quick so is it a better container or do you perfer the Icon. also what fits better. in the future (around 100 or so jumps) I would like to try free flying so which would be more suitable. Thanks, Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John4455 0 #2 December 29, 2004 I have an Aerodyne Icon and a Javelin. They are both great rigs. What I really like about the Icon is the way it feels over the shoulders. If you order a Javelin be ready to spend much $$$ The Icon doesn't have a lot of expensive options. There are only a few things that you would pay extra for, and it has a lower base price. How do ya like it Johnny? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #3 December 29, 2004 Bang for the buck, the Icon is the deal. Plus it looks like this might be your first rig, and if you stay busy in the sport you might find yourself wanting to sell it off in a year or so. The Icon will be less of a initial loss from sticker price.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Adriandavies 0 #4 December 30, 2004 I've been jumping an Odyssey for a while and I love it. It was built for me so it fits like a glove. I've also tried an Icon when I was demoing a Pilot canopy. I found the actual container to be uncomfortable but bear in mind that it wasn't built to fit me and that a custom container will hopefully suit you more. Just go and try a couple and see what takes your fancy. Price wise you certainly can't beat the Icon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BoostedXT 0 #7 December 31, 2004 I recommend that you call any person who is a vendor here..... GravityGirl: Helped me a bunch....great person. DiabloPilot: Great guy helped me a bunch. Talk to them first hand and check out the Infinity. Great rigs. My rigs kicks ass, and I couldnt be happier. Kelly is a great guy, and the only thing I didnt get was stainless and it cost me $1200.JoeFor long as you live and high you fly and smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry and all that you touch and all that you see is all your life will ever be.
