Johnny6Rocket 0 #1 October 30, 2009 Hello my friends! I have a super serious question. I was looking at an aerodyne system which included an Icon Sport with a 168 Pilot and a 168 Smart reserve, and I **GASP** found the exact one used with 49 jumps on it. The question that i have is that if the container was made for a man 5ft 7in, with a slightly larger chest and very similar hip to throat measurement, and me being 6ft 1in with similar weights and hip measurements, would the rig fit me as well? Its an Icon Sport from 06, What would be the potential problems I could face? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

likestojump 3 #3 October 30, 2009 call/email Aerodyne with the Serial Number and see what they say. Random internet people will give you random and completely useless (for the most part) opinions on the fit, unless they know the rig and you personally.

Johnny6Rocket 0 #5 October 30, 2009 I did send an email to aerodyne, and waiting on a reply. I hope they send it soon! I wonder what the cost to change the webbing is on a container, anybody know or have any ideas? Im thinking its alot of work, would it even be worth it? Geeez , any help would be appreciated!!

riggerrob 643 #8 October 30, 2009 Ask your friendly, neighborhood rigger - or gear dealer - to measure you as if you were ordering a new Icon. FAX that order form to Aerodyne along with the serial number of the (second hand) Icon you are considering buying. Ask Aerodyne how much they would charge to re-size that harness to fit you.
