    genera

    Anyone have any experience with the genera ,made by RI . Like most I'm new to the sport and looking around for that first rig.How good is this rig compared to a mirage or other popular containers. I'm not all that concerned with looks, just safety and comfort. Any sugestions.....

    new gear

    I'll check on the pack volume verse's container size, sounds good though. Why would the pack volume be different between a hornet 170 and say a saber 170.

    new gear

    Looking for my first rig, what do you think of the following, dolphin, hornet 170,tempo 170,and cypress for about 3200 new. I weigh 160 by the way. I know some suggest used gear but this sounds like a good deal to me. Any suggestions ? thanks...mike
  14. I'm looking into there "affordable rigs" also. Check out the reviews, under gear,on this site.Do you know anything about that gen-x main? mike

    genera

    Will check on the leg pads. Would you buy this rig complete ? Or just the container and reserve. The main chute is a Gen-x I think, havent heard of it before. Thanks for the replies...........mike
