bob.dino 1 #2 November 23, 2005 They're all good rigs. Read the articles here, and use the Search Posts link above for lots more detail. Welcome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ncfitzge 0 #3 November 23, 2005 My only suggestion would be to get a new container with a tight fit for your main. Thats a way you can downsize later with less cost. I would also get a used main and reserve tho. The forum is a great place for research. You can pretty much find all the information you would like about any type of equipment. Some of the more common equipment for us newbies are Sabre 2, Spectre, Pilots and Safire 2 for mains. Icon's, Jav's and Wings for the containers. Also, try to demo them before you buy them to see how you actually like it. Welcome to the sport!

I would personnaly buy a Vector3 for the skyhook and the history of reliability, customer service and quality of Relative Workshop. Check out the Evolution! program too: www.zoodive.com to see how you can downsize for free after jumping your main for a year. You will also get free Skyhook and free hiprings. Not only you save money, you save time, but you also get to really know your canopy and practice with it before you downsize. Just a thought, good luck!
