rig info
Are there any two-pin rigs that are particularly suited for tall people. I remember reading about one rig that rode up higher on the back, but cannot remember which one it was. Got my canopy ordered and want to get my rig going after the first of the year. Thanks.

I'm just a little guy at 6'4"....compared to you anywayCool. The perigee pro is the container I am looking at and was just double checking on the height thing. Definitely going with new, custom built.

Hey Tree, have you flown a wingsuit yet? They might charge you extra when making your suit for being so damn tall. You might even need a rudder on yours.Wink

I'm a scrawny 6'4" as well, and my Morpheus Gargoyle fits nicely. I've not tried the Perigee Pro, but have a few jumps on a Warlock.

Yo !

Vertigo's Merlin should fit you nicely. It's designed with wingsuits in mind, long and narrow - must be very comfortable for taller people. I am about 5'10" and love it.

bsbd!

I jump with some tall lanky bastards and the Morpheus Gargoyle seems to fit them "damn snug"!!!

To be honest - if you buy new they are gonna make it to fit you!! - unless you are from a small country village with 6 fingers and webbed feet - then the costs are going to increase with the increased work to get it to fit over your hunched back!

You may be thinking of Craig's review of the Morpheus Technologies Gargoyle.

The container is built to sit quite high like a skydiving rig which I like but some people may feel uncomfortable - a question of doing practice pulls I guess.
