udder 0 #1 July 17, 2001 Would the javelin be suitable for someone just off student status?i would rather spend my cash on a new container and get a secondhand canopy.And i thought a mirage or a javelin would be a good choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grogs 0 #2 July 17, 2001 A new Javelin or Mirage would be fine for just about anyone. They both make good containers (the Mirage is better for freeflying IMO). I don't really agree with your reasoning though. You'll probably start with a big canopy after you get off student status and want to downsize before too long. Once you drop your canopy down a size or two, you'll have to replace the container with a smaller one. Your best bet is to get a full set of used gear, jump it for a while until you've got a better idea what size you want and have something you're comfortable staying with for a while. The resale value of the used gear will also be a lot closer to what you paid for it than with new gear too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
