jacketsdb23 49 #1 February 9, 2009 I'm currently jumping a Voodoo 2.0 V4 and will be needing a new rig this summer. I love the Voodoo but was curious to the actual differences between the FX and Voodoo. Basically i'm just wondering if the FX is an "upgrade" to the Voodoo 2.0. Does anyone have an FX that can talk about their experience with it? Thanks!Losers make excuses, Winners make it happen God is Good Beer is Great Swoopers are crazy.

monkycndo 0 #2 February 9, 2009 Don't say that too loudly. Gareth might hear that you don't want a Wings.Get a hold of DSE. He believe he has a Voodoo and a FX. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The harness is virtually the same with the Voodoo if yours has an articulated harness (chest and hip rings ). The main container shape is more like the Talon FS and not tapered like on your Voodoo. The FX is an upgrade to the Talon FS, stainless hardware and the spacerfoam are standard. You can upgrade the Voodoo to the spacerfoam (cost option) and it makes them really comfortable. www.rigginginnovations.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #4 February 10, 2009 I do have both, two Voodoos, a Talon FX, and a Talon FS. Between the Talon FX and the Voodoos, I jumped EVERYTHING I could get my hands on. The FX has a more tapered shoulder than the older FS, but you already know that. I love the feel. The Voodoo is more tapered forward at the top of the rig, making it more sleek and certainly more wingsuit or freefly comfy. The BOC and flaps close differently; they're a little more close-in on the Voodoo than the FX. This makes it ride more comfortably on your butt in the aircraft, and makes your backside look less wide, IMO. I have dynamic corners on my Voodoo's for wingsuiting, but also am very happy with them for camera flying and freeflying (what little FF I do). The taper of the Voodoo makes it fit me like a glove. It just molds to my back. That's perhaps what I love best. Once it's on, you don't really notice it. Can't rave enough about it, and after having owned 8-9 containers in my skydiving time...I think I've found what I love most. Voodoo costs a little more, no doubt. But so does a Ferrari.
