Gear differences?
I've noticed that there's a ton of BASE gear makers, both for canopies and containers.

Don't want to ask which is best, but I'm wondering if there's actually that much difference between all these brands? Objectively speaking.

Apex seems to be very popular in the US, and I do see a lot of people using adrenalinbase+atair gear in Europe.

Lately I've seen lots of videos with turbolenza branded stuff, but I can't really tell if they make BASE gear. The soul flyers, for example, use gear branded turbolenza but I think their rigs are made by Asylum Designs.

Any thoughts on that?

Everyone has personal preferences. It's best to jump a variety of gear before deciding on a purchase, so that you can form a more educated opinion for yourself, about what _you_ like.

BASE Jumping is big business now, its hard to find folks who are not biased for one reason or another.

Re: [TransientCW] Gear differences?
Good points. I like to think of Jesus like with giant eagles wings, and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with, like, an angel band, and I'm in the front row and I'm hammered drunk!
