Fireflyer 0 #1 February 21, 2006 I just bought a gorgeous complete Javelin from another jumper on DZ, but though I though it would be a great fit, of course, it is a bit off. It is too tight across my chest, resulting in the handles being under my armpits and accessable by only one hand only (right hand can't get reserve, and vice-versa). It seems as if I need the shoulder straps to be longer, and a few more inches of webbing from the lower backpad to the hip rings. The yoke size/width, torso length, and leg straps are fine. I'm just a bit barrel chested ;-) Can this be done and how much, if any, stress does this impart an the container? Its a Javelin; I assume if they can do it, it would be ok to fly right? Should I call up Sunpath, or should I just resell it? (I'd rather not - everything else is great!). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #2 February 21, 2006 If, it were me, I'd contact Sunpath. They can build a new harness to fit you for around $400.00 - $450.00. I'm just guessing on the cost. It's been awhile since I've dealt with this subject. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #3 February 21, 2006 The first step involves asking your local rigger or gear dealer to measure you as if you were ordering a new Javelin. Then FAX the order form to Sun Path with a note including the serial number of the second-hand harness. A few days later, Sun Path will respond with the "correct" harness dimensions for you. Then ask your local Master Rigger whether he can do the job quicker or cheaper than Sun Path. Keep in mind shipping time and costs. Sun Path charges $120 for a "lateral adjustment."

ZigZagMarquis 9 #4 February 22, 2006 Ummm... I don't want to hi-jack the thread, but seeing as how MR and RR have pretty much answered your original question and given you good direction on how to go forward... I have a question of my own... you say you bought this rig from someone at your DZ? ... yes, no? ... if "yes", ummm, you didn't try the rig on before you bought it?? ... or maybe you tried it on, but there were no canopies in it??
