What DOM is your lotus? Rear risers do nothing to bring the slider down unless I stall the canopy. I know the lotus has changed a bit over the years.

I jump a lotus as well. I often get line twists too, I cannot figure out if its my body position, packing, or the canopy. Do you have a problem with the slider not coming all the way down? On my lotus the slider stops down the lines just out of reach every jump, I have to fool around a bit to get it down and collapse it. The canopy flies/lands great but the openings are interesting. Nice spot by the way

Hi, Just got a used rig, when I tighten the leg straps they are snug when I am standing but when I squat they loosen up and leave some space between my legs and the straps. The leg straps are tightened all the way. Are the straps too loose? If they are too loose what can be done to fix this problem? I know this question would be way better to ask an instructor/rigger in person but that is not convenient right now.

Thanks all for the replies. I think I will be getting a pair!

Thanks for the reply. On the ride up on the plane do you wear them on the whole time? Are they not like ANY type of goggle/full-face-shield that will fog up? How well do the straps attach to the glasses?

Is there much "free" movement of the eyewear while skydiving or even when walking around (boarding the plane, etc). Do you just bend in the end pieces to make them a tighter fit? And if you have tried the foam inserts does it make a big difference?

I am debating whether or not to try out a pair of liquid eyewear with an open face. I have both a full-face and an open-face; I prefer to jump with the open-face. Does anyone have any experience jumping liquid eyewear sunglasses with an open-face? My first thought is that they would fall off using them without a sun-glass strap of some sort.
