What new gear are manufacturers coming out with at BD?
 
Will BR be showing the Vertex2 and Prism2? What about the Vertigo Rock Dragon? What other new gear might be there? Anyone in the know, please tell all :-)

Me and my Rock Dragon will be there for sure. Cool

I'm not sure you'd consider it new, but Vertigo's Warlock container has sure been reworked a bunch since last year's BD!

I own a model 2003 and a 2004, and the difference is amazingly pleasant. I love the simplicity of the '03 model, and the new one is still nice and simple, but has velcroless riser covers, revised stiffeners and pin protection, a deeper seating bottom flap - which helps hide bridle better -, and a slightly trimmer looking profile. Also a little bonus that's on my '04 rig is big grab toggles - awesome for low jumps.

Nothing really NEW - but a lot different and lots of thought going into the rig design.

Just to reiterate sum1's thoughts, but I agree that this year's Warlock is a really, really great container. This is my second Warlock, and Vertigo has obviously added some very nice enhancements to an already great container.

I'm REALLY looking forward to the Pheonix Fly booth! Robi's new gear is sure to be a BIG hit!
