this is a copy and paste of the email i was sent when asking about shelflife of aerodynes prods. Hi Gavin The 12years shelf life applies to both The Smart and Main Canopies. The Shelf life of the Container is a little more difficult to. Comment. 12 years (as like the canopies) is my general advice, however they can last a lot longer, really because the harness webbings and components see very little load compared to their strength. But if you have to ask me a safe life for containers, I would again say 12years. Hope this helps Rgds Dom dominic@flyaerodyne.com ... i guess it was them who opened this can of worms!

ill make it quick: iv few jumps- 27. im 150 lbs (approx 170 out the door). im jumping a 170 and want to buy gear but i was advised to wait and get a 150 because that wing load would suit me better. im reasonably accurate under canopy already. should i wait or try find gear? if i did wait how many jumps would i be looking at before my exp is enough? cheers, gav.
