There's an old saying at this place."When the windsock has a hard-on, somebody's gonna get ******".

After waiting 8 months, my new container system is finally in production.I should have it in a couple of weeks. Then have Pete my rigger install my parachutes. Woohoo.

Did they guess on tariffs or is that a wait and see upon delivery?

What makes this one different and/or better than your existing container?

Wait and see for tariffs. But unlikely.
My current system is 25 years old. It's not unsafe, but the plastic reinforcement in the many flaps is worn out and not worth repairing. I'm also upgrading many parts."skyhook" in the reserve, collapsible pilot chute, semi stowless deployment bag, magnetic riser covers, comfort back pad and best of, a lot of measuring to make it fit this old body.

This is how quick skyhook works.

So reserve deploying automatically cuts away main chute?

The opposite. Cutting away main, deploys reserve

My second hand skydive rig is very dated. Time for new stuff. Ordered this from UPT last November and i picked it up yesterday. The newer technology is amazing. Materials and design are wild. I'm in for a learning curve. But i won't be doing the assembly.

Looks great. I wanna do that again so bad. I thinks hands down jumping out of a plane was the biggest rush ever.
