Does anyone like the look of this? I'm not keen on it and think it serves zero purpose.

My plan is to take the velcro off and stitch a thin piece of material on the bottom flap to hold my bridle in place.

Suggestions?

Velcro, For (stowing) Bridal routing, right ?
Asking about the ( Length ? )

It is a little long and maybe if you were throwing your PC out in a 'total head-down', on body position. The shear 'strait pull strength of the total length of it (might) be to much for it to peal off. ( maybe ? ).
I would do just a small stow-tab of Velcro under the side of the closing flap to stow the bridal routing.

and if you are talking about something totally different than I am thinking of. Just disregard .
.

The Prisms are so old now I don't actually remember what Todd was thinking with that but it might be there just for hand held pilot chute jumps.

Just call Todd at Apex @ (951) 940-1324 or email him at todd@apexbase.com and ask him.

Especially if you are going to start sewing things on it. There could be some things he knows that you aren't considering.

My friend has a prism with a small tuck tab as opposed to the velcro and im thinking of simply copying that. Thanks for the advice chaps.

The purpose was to hold the bridle when routed for stowed jumps. The velcro was non-shriveling and someone (if memory serves it was Dwain Weston) complained that it might cause a hesitation during a head down deployment, which was a concern for low aerials. BR changed the standard to the tuck flap there as a result of this concern.
