Lines Catching on Reserve PC

Recommended Posts

Has anyone heard of instances where the lines from the main catch on the top or exposed PC for the reserve on rigs like Reflex, Wings, Jav., etc...?
Ah, shit I thought I was in Gear and Rigging, oops. I'll post it there too
Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it

Yes. It is not uncommon in CRW. Two solutions:
1. Make sure the reserve is sized and packed so the poptop is well recessed.
2. Some manufacturers (Fliteline) offer CRW flaps that partially cover the poptop and help prevent snagged lines.

Yes it happens. I just had my Reflex modified by Bomber Mfg.
They installed a "flapette" at the top of the container that prevents lines from snagging. Something like it could be installed on any pop-top I suspose.
