    If you´re already flying a SA 2 135, than your next wing is the 120 nitro. It flyes much better than your current sabre. If you´re light travel don´t forget to demo the 108 size. safe jumps prego

    my seven has 180 jumps now and no signs of friction wear on leg stripes. It´s a light tension and I don´t think it could bring any damage with time. Great container, thanks Jerome safe jumps prego

    I don´t have the exactly packing volume, but I´ve packed a 170 PULSE into a 325 racer. That main bag is sized for 135 stilleto. prego

    A better market value doesn´t always means the best product available, specially with containers. Nowadays propaganda is rulling the business and I as a dealer often see great products coming up to the market that faces lots of difficulties to find their way cause the manufacture name is not on top of the list. At the same time I also see great manufactures brand launching new products that sells very well, but without meaning only a new name and no inovations at all. All skydive related materials demands good quality and a lot of testing jumps, none are 100% safe,so saying this is the best or worst product available is risk. safe jumps prego

    Yap, Technology from the 80´s, just like the good old PDR 143 reserve you have in your container safe jumps bro prego

    I have two rides with a techno 128 with a WL of 1.6 and one ride on a brand new PDR 143 with WL of 1.4 . Both are good reserves, but I liked better the techno landing/flying performance. Not to mention they pack one size smaller than PDR. Most of French parachutes are manufactured at the Mauritios Islands with high standards material and personal, first quality products. PD is on Honduras as well. safe jumps prego

    closing loop is located on the main upperflap. The main tray container pic you see on BKR´s e mail. The loop is not in place but it´s located there. cheers prego

    Hello Chapman, The reserve container is solid as a rock, just like any other rig. It´s understandable the way you´re considering it right now, but I wish you could have the chance to see a SEVEN soon. Maybe it could change your first impressions for better. safe jumps prego

    I´ve been working with Mike for four years now buying material and all I can say is that he´s 100% correct. Not to mention his technical scales as a professional rigger. safe jumps all prego

    There´s the link for the SEVEN container manual. I´m sure you´ll understand it fully. The reserve risers and freebag are very secured. cheers http://www.basik.fr/en/images/Seven/seven_manual_02-09.pdf prego

    First time I saw my SEVEN I was amazed with quality and the reserve container. Packed my reserve right away and first thing I did was to deploy it on the ground. Really amazed me, extended the bridle all the way out and the freebag was ready to go. The freebag is out anywhay anytime you wanna see it. Reserve PC coil is very strong also, close to mirage PC. Check it out before you pack it, I´m sure you gonna like it. About the reserve cutway handle, I had the exactly sensation. When I saw for the first time, doesn´t look very good on the picture, but when you actually get the real deal, it gives you confidence. Congrats on your new Seven, I´m sure you´ll enjoy it. cheers prego

    Hey Nicholas, I´m still getting used to this cutaway handle, but can tell you that it gives a great grip and stays on site while in belly flight. It´s very easy to grab it. And for the reserve handle, I like it this way, I have two reserves rides using this reserve handle model and felt very secured with it. Hope I could help safe jumps prego

    I have 50 jumps on my brand new seven and the container is fantastic. The reserve container has only two flaps, space foam all over, main bag with magnetics, fantastic onhead openings. It took 10 weeks to receive my custom ordered container. 100% satisfied, it´s a great container. Picture attached Gui D31713 prego

    I used to fly a MX size G4 with a NZaerosports Crossfire 2 120 and a Parachutes de France 128 Techno(it packs smaller than 113 PDR) and worked just fine. cheers prego
