Thanks for the info Vid, very informative.

I did read them before starting this thread, a little personal insight goes a long ways also, I am bit of a digger when looking for information and spend quite a bit of time considering what I see, hear and read. all information is welcome.

Call marty and ask him yourself if you have questions. 530-823-5222. I have had 2 pros, a profile, and a prefile, all have been great, and havent failed or shown any wear. Marty is all about attention to detail. If you order a pro, marty is the one who sews it, inspects it, and puts all the finishing touches on it. Nothing bad to say about any manufacturer, just happen to like asylum myself.

U have zero reasoning behind a very negative response to an honest question of a rig that has been tested, proved more than airworthy, then tested again and again for MORE than a decade.

i went from a helium to a ppro, the only thing i dont like is the fact that it has sidewalls and the BOC wall. im thinking about buying another helium, however the ppro has the loops in the MLW for d-rings when you want to do paragliding/speedwing cutaways which rock

Have you, or anyone else seen something useful in this type flap design? It seems kind of useless to me? Has anyone had a specific instance where that extra flap on top did something that you noticed?

Has anyone had a specific instance where that extra flap on top did something that you noticed? yes. For those who route the excess bridle from the inside of container to the top of the top pin (instead of between pins), and leave the slack exposed, they have a much higher change of catching that excess on something during a climb (most on Antennas) and popping both of their pins. A friend did just that when he caught the piece of bridle coming out of the bottom of his container on a piece of clamp holding a cable on a tight-ish A.
Hey; that looks like my old container. And yeah, popping pins halfway up an A sounds terrifying

also something I noticed with most ppros...
the canopy is left exposed at the top corners, mostly a looks thing I guess. although I think there yoke is the best designed out of all of them. Never seen a PPro fit the shoulders like shit.
never caught that top velcro'd piece of bridle on anything, I think its more likely to catch those exposed top corners on stuff.

Agreed. It takes a little more finessing than some other containers in order to not have the canopy exposed. But I suppose if someone has that as their single container they will fall in the proper habits within a few dozen packjobs.
What I do notice when looking at a lot of different PerigeePro's is that many people have the grommets showing - in other words their closing loops are pretty damn long OR the PerigeePro has the grommets set too close to the flap edges. Not sure if it's caused by the user or product.

mine always had exposed grommets, and my closing loops were super short.

as far as I know, the tersh loops are built in by default on the Gargoyle/Helium
