my first rig was the old style talon....it worked well and fitted pretty good as well. when it came to time to get a new rig i went for the T2 with hip rings...when i first gott the rig the rings squeaked a bit ...i have now done about 500 jumps on the rig...i have a tempo 150 reserve in it and a stiletto 120 main....it fits very well and is very comfertable...on the one occasion that i have had to use the resrve it was right there within a couple of hundred feet....no worries..i do mainly freefly and have never had any of the covers open in freefall...i cant say this for the other rigs i have tried ...(jav..vector...etc etc etc )...to sum it up...i reckon that i wont ever own any other type of rig ... flipper

hi yeah i was in the same predicament a while back....then i discovered a really cheep pair of sunglases in a store ....i think they cost around £2.....have done around 600 jumps with them.....i think the best plan is just to try loads of pairs and get the ones that fir the shape of your face ....the cheeper the better....then theres no worries when they flip off your face ..... flipper..

good advise zennie.... I have about 800 f/fly jumps under my belt at the mo....and have most things pretty much squared away....but....it dosnt matter how many jumps you have there is allways the chance that you are gonna have somebody over the top of you/beneith/beside you in free fly at pull time....young free flyers should get as much coaching as they can afford....or look at it another way....can you afford not to ...!... take it easy.... flipper.
