Cool, a skydiving thread again :)

Ive been knocking around jumping for 15+ years and its pretty much what I do for a living. This year Im looking after the AFF school at my dropzone but I also do tandem, camera, rigging etc so any questions fire away.

(Great 1st post by the way)

From what I know, both have their problems and I agree that cypres is better at PR on smoothing over their issues than vigil. I don't like the fact that there's a 12 year life on the cypres 2, understandable on the 1 as it was a new design but on the 2 it shouldn't be necessary. I think of them both as very expensive boxes with flashy lights on that may or may not help - probably will do but it's not like you have a choice about using them at 99% of dropzones.
