BOC, PUD, or Freefly Handle?

Is the Wings model cut extra "baggy" or something? I'm interested and always willing to learn a new trick, especially about a rig variant we never get to see out here!!



Sorta. Its not tight against the bottom of the rig, its got room for the PC in there. The mouth is elastic to hold everything in place, that and its sorta "pleated" (that's about the best I can describe it) to give it a closing mouth, from the formed pouch.

I've put about 300 jumps on mine and have had no problems what so ever, so I think that they have figured it out.

Cool. The designs like that that I've seen work the best are when the BOC is integrated into the entire bottom flap (like the Reflex was). You've got plenty of room for the p/c to spread out in, so that elastic "stretch" of the BOC pouch itself is really not needed.

As long as there is room for the p/c and it's not jammed in there tight, it sounds like a good system. Cordura is much more hardy than spandex, so it lasts longer and tends to take abuse better.

My reservations still hold about aftermarket cordura BOCs though. Be sure they were designed with cordura in mind, not just a spandex BOC pattern that someone thought would last longer in cordurea...they last longer, but they can also cause totals!
