Tersh Loops
Im thinking of buying a Perigee Pro and one of the features listed is "tersh loops" on the front that you can mount a chest reserve to, which would allow you to skydive with it. I can't find a good picture of them. Could someone with a PPro take a picture of their tersh loops and post it? Thanks

Re: [jws3] Tersh Loops
The tertiary loops are hidden inside the main lift web. You have to look at the harness sideways, just below the mud flap, to see them. They look like little loops of webbing that extend just below the mud flap, in between the two pieces of the harness webbing.

a bit more research would really help

a) search for "tersh loops" - you will find pictures
b) adding a chest mount reserve does nothing to make the setup legal in the USA (you list Georgia as your location)

Ok. I think I see what you're talking about.

If the harness and reserve are TSO'd, then it would be legal to jump.
Take care,

I don't believe any BASE gear has a TSO for the US, though.

I believe that you could slide through the loophole if you had a German skydiving license, though, as there is an exception for foreigners jumping gear from their home country.

That loophole won't work for the Perigee, because the gear is made in the US. The loophole only applies to a foreign parachutist using foreign gear :(

Re: [hookitt] Tersh Loops
seems to me that it's a skydiving rig that can be used for BASE.
