Anyone out there with a Jackdaw that can share their thoughts on the containers strengths and weaknesses, or just an overall review?

Bump, is there no one on here that has tried out or who owns a Jackdaw?!?

PM Hwalter on here, he has been jumping it

I can share what the people who got it shared with me (5 people).
First of all you have to learn to pack your canopy well into it, it is so light that the shape is mostly made by the way you are packing.
It is the lightest harness on the market.
No problem with the durability for now.
Some of them change the carabiners for larger ones specially during winter (more clothes).
No need of foam in the back, the canopy is comfy enough.
It is also enough confortable for the 1 minute max you are in after opening.
You really need to find the way to pack it or it looks ugly and it is not comfy.

I wonder if the race for lightest harness/container will follow the path of Apple devices: so thin and light that there's no room for "ports" (i.e. PC) anymore, so you have to pull the pins by a "dongle".
