Both are good, Cypress are a bit more expensive the cables are a little less protected than the vigil, but are the first modern aad and have sold the most units and had the most saves. Vigils are a bit more affordable requiring less services and are in service for 20 years early on they had few service bulletins, i believe the cost difference between the two is the cypress will cost an extra $50 a year. Vigils also take up a bit more space than the Cypress. I have owned both

Skydiving is quite taxing on your body as a whole, when you go for a jump, you wear around 10-15kg of equipment, you can be exposed to extreme temp changes, your adrenal system is also worked out a fair amount from the adrenaline dump. I'm no doctor but unless your doctor is happy for you to undertake sustained/intense exercise, ride roller coasters and visit a sauna then you might need to hold off Skydiving until this is fine, the last thing you would want is having a medical episode on a jump.

from what i have read they pack like a same size velo, and a 306 is a max fit Katana 120 or 96 Velo, it would fit in a vector 310 not a 306 which is a max fit Katana 120 or Velo 96
-
if your buying a used one have the lines checked and replace if out of trim, especially the brake lines

I would say get a 310 or a 344 you can then have a larger reserve, they are a great container size that should get you plenty of years of use. the 320 is even smaller plus the fill fit reserve, which will make packing that extra bit annoying, the 310 will be tight enough.

Skydiving after shoulder surgery
Greekos replied to bdb2004's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
not sure if it has been mentioned but i would say also to pay particular attention to harness fit and using gear with a correctly sized yoke and harness to your body. -
If you can find what you're looking for then why not, what you can do is have the container or canopy sent to a rigging loft to be inspected and then if your happy purchase the gear. do you know what size container your looking for?

Hi All wondering if anyone has some photos of mirage's magnetic riser covers and if they could be retro fitted to a rig with tuck tabs. Thanks in advance! :)

Shakey Level 1, Do i continue? Advice please
Greekos replied to FlyMeTooTheMoon?'s topic in General Skydiving Discussions
if you want to then yes :) -
this delivers , um students and newer jumpers should be either standing up running or doing a plf on landing, if you need body armour to land your parachute you need a upsize

Katana long snivelling openings...?
Greekos replied to Heycharger's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
how have your openings been, when jumping my KA150 i found the openings to be quite soft and long, when packing i just did the normal pro pack from pd and still had quite long openings that were buttery soft, even doing small changes it made no difference, apart from one time when i tugged on the rears just after line stretch which pretty much cracked it open and i decided to accept the longer openings and leave it alone. -
Katana long snivelling openings...?
Greekos replied to Heycharger's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
the higher the performance canopy you want to fly the higher you need to deploy, that is what i have found from taking to canopy pilots over the years. -
@hapon what did you end up in choosing, the Katana is a great wing still to this day if your focus is on swooping and canopy piloting but demands a lot of respect. also, from what i have been told, moving from a Katana 135 to a 120 is quite step up in performance.
