  1. Thanks for the video, like others said, this is great!
  2. I like this!!.... any chance you could post a video of the final set-up in use, both from the auto disconnect and using the cutaway handles?
  3. I jump with a pair of Mechanix insulated gloves that do the job pretty well, although the velcro closure got worn fast from a couple landings sliding in a couple months after I started. They don't have the tackiness on the fingers and palm like yours, but they keep me warm and fit is great. Ignoring my suggestion above, and the main reason I responded was to let you know a tip I received from a fellow jumper was to wear a pair of surgical latex gloves underneath your skydiving gloves to insulate your hands. It sounds silly, but I have to wait to put them on while in the plane, otherwise my hands start to sweat. It's a cheap solution that works well, try it out on the ground and you'll see what I mean. Stay Warm!
