i am new to skydiving and have a question about a container. i am in the market for a rig and a guy has a vector v-5 with 18" main lift web. i am 5'10" 185 and want to put a 210 main and 190 reserve in there. will this work?

My best suggestion is talk to the rigger at your local DZ. They will take care of you, and help you find the appropiat gear. I know mine did.

Brian,

Give relative workshop a call there # is 386 736 7589, they will be open Monday, you can ask for Mark, Egons. Either one of them would be happy to help you with the details of what you need.

I do know this, a V-5 makes it a vector 2 which is a bit of an older rig. NOT that there is ANYTHING wrong with that. As with any piece of equipment, have a rigger inspect it before you buy it. The other thing I can tell you with some amout of certainty, is I THINK the main left web is going to be a bit too long for you. Im 6'2 and have an 17.5 in main lift web. Now if it fits the canopies you want to put in it, and you still want to buy that container, a rigger can shorten the main lift web. What the cost is for that, I dont know.

In summary, my suggestion is to call RWS and see if the container will fit the main and reserve. My second suggestion is to have a rigger inspect the container and ensure it fits you properly if adjustments need to be made, you may want to consider the cost before purchasing the container. Also fill in your profile, it helps.

man, i just bought a vector 2 v-5 for $225 and it came with a round reserve. i have a 220 raider, and it's tight. if your 210 is zero p, i don't think it'll fit. not the way i pack zero p, anyway....lol. i sent an email to rhe folks over at relative ws, but with the holiday and all, i don't expect a reply before tuesday.
