Anyone have info about it?

 

Great to see an even better improvement to the BOC location as it seems this is the only thing that's making big suits safer to fly in the BASE environment, hope to see other manufacturers take this route in the near future.http://adrenalinbase.com/...roduct&id_lang=2

A few people I've talked to have actually complained about the new PC location. I haven't jumped one yet so I've got no opinion.

I do think there's value in consistency in terms of muscle memory and PC location, that said if this is really an easier pull location I think manufacturers would be happy to follow suit on their WS dedicated containers.

Open to hearing feedback from people on the new PC location. If it's really that good we may have to start working on something for you. =)

@Robibird, since you have 3 of them, what's your opinion on the new BOC location and the ease of pull compared to the lD3, anyone else?

That and things like humility, critical thinking skills, self preservation instincts, desire to want to progress slowly, jumping below your limits....

You think, I thought it was cross your fingers then jump lol.I wasn't talking about state of mind, was referring to gear, and the new position of the ld4's BOC, the possibility it made the pull easier/quicker to make, don't know why you're confused.

I have been involved in testing LD4 .
The location of the PC is lover and closer to the back panel.
Design of the LD4 is so that PC location does not feel strange , but feel like it is exactly where you expect it should be. In comparison to LD3 where the PC location was good too but could feel strange as bad packing often slightly changed the position of the pouch , LD4 has no such issue. Whole rig sits better on the shoulder area as jokke is redesigned, than packing is nice and easy with good looking shape as long as the user follow recommendations as far as the size of the canopy vs container.
