MARS? Container Canopies & AAD nice price any hangups?

Recommended Posts

I have seen these rigs and they look pretty good. Not quite as tight as i would like. does anyone have a review on thier gear? and thier AAD? it is a very simple application for a cutting device with no wires etc. I wonder what the performance history is on them?
They make a range of canopies with a crossbraced XF it looked good I wonder how it performs.

Anyone have experience with mars equipment?

I talked to thomas who is the new zealand dealer and an extremely nice and helpful guy, but he is the dealer so will obviously give good reports.

Anyone?

I jumped container Mars DOM 1998 and it was quite good, approved for freefly etc. Later thay added a lot of small improvements (no velcro, pocketed corners etc.), very good rig. Last year they came with completely new Rig called Real-X, see pics:

Problem with MPAAD is that you need special rig preparation, obviously it doen not fit in Cypres pocket. There are already some saves.
Any Specific questions?
Ps.: I am not dealer for Mars, just from same country.
Pps.: Mars is only company in world which produce main canopies, reserves, containers and AAD.

Trivial point: FXC/Guardian also produces complete systems (main, reserve, harness, container and AAD) for the military market.

Similarly, FXC Europe used to be a subsidiary of Parachutes de France, so you used to be able to buy a complete system from Parachutes de France.

And several other things as well it looks!

Do you have any other pics?

I can't seem to find one with everything closed up and 'ready to jump'

In a way ...from the side, it almost looks a little like the 'Handbury' rig.
