First Rig

Recommended Posts

A friend of mine and I are looking into getting our first rigs, and I was wondering what you all thought would work best for a couple of guys coming up on 75 jumps. He weighs 165 lbs and has been jumping a 190 with good, accurate, and consistent landings. I weight just under 200 lbs and I've been jumping a 200 (also with good landings; I've actually been learning to drag my feet for about 10-15 yds on my last dozen or so). [These weights are body weight, not our wing loading weight.] We're both looking for something pretty sporty that we'll like flying for a while, but that's not going to kill up in the process. I'm also looking into an Infinity container, so any feedback on those would be great.

We'll be asking our coaches/instructors about this too, but I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people on here, so any help or feedback would be awesome.

Thanks.
To find me, you must be smart.
To catch me, you must be quick.
To kill me, you must be kidding.

Safire2, Sabre2, Pilot, Fusion.. If you want a 7 cell - Storm, Spectre, Omega, Synergy..

These are the canopies that come to mind that would be good for an intermediate diver.. Not gonna go into sizes, depending on your WL and mad skillz, discuss it with an instructor..

Goodluck and have fun :)
