Snekor
Do you have some experiences with this French two pin rig (only in french)? I think Jean Loic Albert use it and it's comon in South France. Brible protection flap looks little bit strange for me. Tom, what's your opinion?

Re: [pbla4024] Snekor
here's a picture of one of my Snekors.

It's quite comfortable, and I find it secure even without the use of pins.

I'm sure this doesn't help, but I couldn't resist.

I thought all you Eastern Block types jumped homemade rigs anyway, why all the fuss over some obscure frenchie rig. Order a Warlock and be done with it.

Re: [pbla4024] Snekor
I strongly advise against a French BASE rig.

It'll let you go in alone and then try to divide what's left with ze germans.

Oh I'm having a great time lately. Keep 'em comin'.

Re: [pbla4024] Snekor
I saw one of these rigs in use at Petronas. It looks fine to me. My only concern would be protection of teh lower bridle on a wingsuit flight, since the wind over your back would flow into the pocket (since the bottom flap goes over the side flap, rather than vice versa). Still, if that French wignsuit guru is using one for his flights, it must work ok.

Re: [TomAiello] Snekor
Thanks Tom. A lot of people here in French Riviera jump Snekor. I know manufacturer, but I was looking for independent opinion.
