    Hello, I'm in the process of finding my first rig... No easy task... But fun! :-) I have some questions regarding AADs. I believe the Cypres has a higher total cost of ownership than the Vigil. I would prefer a Vigil but there are few used Vigil for sale and they are more expensive. I was wondering if a good deal on a used Cypres would still be cheaper option. Is it worth to pay 300-400$ more for a used Vigil and pay less for service later? And what about the Cypres VS the Cypres-2. First difference I noticed is that the battery last more that twice on the new model. Is the Cypres still a good purchase? Is it worth to pay 100-200$ more for a Vigil-2? That's quite all for now ;-) Thanks! Martin

    I have an exit weight of 175 lbs. PD suggest a Silhouette 230 or a Sabre 2 190 for a novice of 175 lbs. I'm not sure that would be good for me.

    I'm definitely buying used. I want to keep as most money as possible for jumps.

    Ok, maybe I'll go for all ZP. They are easier to find... Thanks for your help. Martin

    Hello, I would like to know which main canopy are made from ZP and F111 and would be good for a beginner. It would be my first parachute so I want something easy to pack... I heard that ZP are hard to pack so I though it would be better to learn packing on this type of parachute. I know the Silhouette and the Turbo-z, are there any others? Thanks! Martin
