Hi guys, wondering if Hybrid LD2 container is suitable also for SD jumps. Any point of view?

It's fine. I know people who've done more than a hundred slider down jumps on them with no issues.

At the same time, it's my least favorite adrenalin container--I find it shapeless and annoying to pack, and the lack of top loop convertibility is ridiculous in a hybrid rig. The Hybrid 3 was a HUGE improvement.

I m thinking to buy an used one with a troll 265 3 MDV, mostly for terminal jumps thats why I m asking.
cheers

It should be fine for that.

My main travelling rig is LD2 + Troll UL in it. I use it mainly for SU but I´ve done probably good 50 SD jumps on it as well. Works fine but of course you have to be aware of the issues of using a rig mainly designed for SU jumping in SD environment. Main things to consider for me are :
1) opening the closing flap always on SD jumps, I find the Adrenalin flap a bit sub optimal design
2) the BOC is (at least on my rig) a bit tight for bigger PC´s (as it´s probably designed for smaller PC´s). I can stow a Morpheus / Apex 42 there kind of OK but it´s a bit tricky to get it nicely packed
3) The lower corner design on the LD2 on HH jumps is also sub optimal as the bottom corner extends below the lateral junction. You need to be aware of this when going HH and be sure that you do not route the bridle below the corner. This of course can be mitigated with properly placed velcro tab on the shoulder and the bridle.

This doesn't directly relate to SD jumps but you need to check on the riser attachment system. I believe if it's 3 rings or L bars then it's OK but if it's an integrated harness it may require reinforcement at the junction where the riser meets the MLW.

This is some further info...
