mds5118 0 #1 Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Hey all, Getting back into the sport after a hiatus and have a question regarding a return to freeflying (after becoming current on belly of course). My current late 90's javelin container does not have a freefly band tab for allowing installation of a band to connect the leg straps. Is it possible for a master rigger to install a freefly band on a older rig that does not have these tabs? I assume they would have to sewn into the leg straps. I was able to remove the rig from my body on my couch and now I'm feeling rather strongly that I should have one of these band/bungees in the future. Thank you.

wolfriverjoe 1,486 #7 December 18, 2021 #1 - The little loops are sewn to the legstrap PADS. Not the legstraps themselves. #2 - Each little loop is a short section of binding tape that gets bartacked to the edge of the pad. Mark's 10 minutes of work is pretty accurate (he knows his stuff).
