BASE pouch for Phantom 2?
Going to be purchasing a Phantom 2 sometime soon. I know this WS is considered to have fairly easy BOC access. Any need to add BASE PC Pouch option? I want to train my brain to pitch from same location when wearing WS, so not sure whether to get the option or not? any thoughts or experience would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

Hey mate, I have the Phantom II and haven't experience any problems with pulling in the skydiving or BASE environment thus far - although if I was to get another suit such as the V3/4 etc I would probably get it retrofitted to the Phantom to have the same pull sequence across both suits.

Edit to add - Please bear in mind I am at the beginning of my wingsuit BASE career, the above is just my opinion based on what I have seen and read...

If you ever plan to upsize your suit into bigger suit in PF lineup I would highly recommed to get leg pouch to your Phantom as well to train your muscle memory to the pull from the pouch. And in the future if you decide to keep your Phantom and maybe do odd one or two jumps with it, the PC is always located in the same place regardless of the suit you´re flying.

If you develop good pulling habits you don't need a leg BOC. I have base Jump P2, Ghost, V3 and haven't feel the urge to use the leg BOC.
