over the last 10 seasons i've been jumping many different rigs and 4 weeks ago I decided to order a new container: a quasar II

rig arrived yesterday - upon assembling i once more admired the knowledge that went into this design. built for heavy use, sturdy material and nice design + fits like a glove combined with a more than reasonable price and extremely low delivery times: strongs quasar is the way to go!

Mine is a custom designed rig for professional demonstrations.

Great comfortable fit with way above average workmanship.

Quick delivery time,and low price, even with additional requested bells & whistles not normally offered as options.

The redesigned reserve set up is remarkably better than any other I've seen...ground test at repack has the pilot-chute launch pulling the entire bridle to full extension and pulling the bag from the pack tray.

My Quasar has 250 (plus) jumps on it and still looks & feels like a brand new rig!

I think that if you are going to be in the job of making skydiving gear strong does it right. From making good products to having a grate staff and customer service.

I just watched the vido last week,so I recorded mine.I was not impressed it just fell off the rig!,not very reassuring...

I bought my Quasar used, packed it up and jumped it. It's a shortie model and even though I'm 5'11 it fit me perfectly, without hip rings. When I sent my rig in to Strong for updates, they did a bunch of work and packed it up again for practically nothing! They even expedited my request and got my rig back to me before the big boogie! It's a great rig for a great price, top notch first rig. Thanks Strong!

First let's start with customer service. Strong Enterprises STRIVES at all cost to make jumpers happy. They have excellent turn time on building new rigs and stand behind their products 125%.

The patented spring flaps in the reserve system are a major PLUS! When I popped my reserve for repack, the pilot and bridal came out to full extension in a split second because those side flaps clear theirselves of the pilot chute. You don't need those 40 lbs springs like other manufacturers to clear all that material in the way.

Comfort is 2nd to none! It's feels great suited up and while under canopy. This container in a short time will replace those "designer" groupies fairly quickly.

I highly recomend you buy one

I’m a new jumper and wanted to buy my first rig. The QUASAR II from Strong Enterprises had everything that I was looking for a price that I could afford. What impressed me most was the customer service from Mike their sales representative. After receiving my order, Mike contacted me to confirm my size & weight and ask about any options that I wanted. Once my canopies were made and shipped to Strong, I was contacted that they had arrived and was given a around about date as to when I could expect to have my rig shipped to me.

The container & harness is really comfortable and I received several comments on its look and color scheme at my DZ. My rigger checked out my rig before I made my first jump and he commented on the high quality workmanship. I told him what I paid for it and he was very impressed with the Quasar II for the amount of money. Once again I want to stress that the Quasar II is a very comfortable harness while under canopy and is barely noticeable in the plane. It’s super easy to pack and the container holds the bag and lines securely. Thanks for building such a great rig Mike!

I recently purchased a new Quasar II. What a great rig! I am impressed with the quality, price, features and the short two week delivery time. The customer service has been outstanding. I needed a minor modification done after I first jumped it. It was completed quickly and my rig returned ready to jump. I am very impressed with the sales and rigging staff at Strong Enterprises. Don't be fooled by the low price. This is a top quality, well built rig. Robert Pope Jr. Tampa, FL

Dont be fooled by the low price or quick building time this unit is all quality. Features found on this rig cant be found elsewhere and standard the spring loaded reserve flap what a nice saftey add on standard!!! The craftmanship is second to none as I have inspected many different containers and would rate this with the best. Custom fit is a great match for me like riding in my own easy chair. Vibrant colors that call attention to my rig as mine is allways complimented on. If you are looking for a great quality reasonablely priced container that offers the most features and saftey for your dollar look no farther. Thanks for the great service Mike you rock.

I recently purchased a Quasar II. It's beautiful! The quality, the features, the price, and the customer service make this rig a great choice. Strong Enterprises' personnel are personable, knowledgable and helpful. My husband is in the process of having Strong put a Quasar together for him.

I just wanted to agree with the positive comments from my wife about the Quasar II, and add a few more words of praise. The Quasar is the most comfortable and the easiest to pack rig I have ever used. I also like the new reserve deployment mechanism. The extra one or two seconds it gives you during a malfunction may come in handy someday. Larry

My Quasar IIS is five years old and I've been quite pleased. I was in college when I bought it and needed something in the low end of the price range. It's now my CRW rig and I can't complain. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles but it has served me quite well. I like that there's no exposed pop-top to get snagged by a line when I'm doing CRW. I also like the HUGE reserve pilot chute - I _know_ that thing's going to sproing out there like a mofo and pull that reserve out with it! Of course, it gave me a black eye when I was trying to pack it, so that's a downside if you're a rigger I guess. As for customer service, I must have gotten lucky. When I needed a new cutaway handle, it arrived even more promptly than they had promised on the phone. They also got me a new pilot chute quickly when my old one developed a rip in it. So YMMV.

I really love my quasar 2. I bought it used so I have no comments on the customer service on the ordering end but I have attempted to find answers to a few of my questions and come away slightly dissatisfied with the way I was treated (slow to respond via email, hard to get someone on the phone, etc). Though the times when I did get through people were willing to help.

The container itself is AWESOME! I love it. I feel very confident in it performing even in highspeed freefly dives. The riser protection is great and the reserve pin protection is rock solid. A great container.

They put out a service notice then charge for the repairing the defect. Thay didn't give my rigger the wholesale price on parts which were passed on to me. Then they couldn't deliver when they said and charged me for faster shipping. Not to mention they gave me a really bad looking repack with the housing cable in front of the rings so bad that three riggers stoped me to check it out. It was lumpy, loose and the pilot material was sticking out. You decide.
