As a skydiver who just came off student status this year, I’ve had numerous opportunities to jump all kinds of different equipment before making a purchase of my own. This is one of the perks of being a student, actually. You get to test out a variety of rigs, canopies and other gear as you progress through the sport.
You may recall a couple months back when I was lucky enough to attend a local Aerodyne demo tour and test out a brand new Pilot canopy and Icon rig. I fell in love with the Pilot and knew that one day that would be the canopy for me.
In fact, shortly after earning my A license I was prepared to start piecing together the perfect rig. Lucky for me, the perfect complete system was practically dropped into my lap during a random search on Dropzone.com.
The main canopy was a Triathlon. In student training I’d jumped one 7-cell and liked it well enough, and given that it’s an Aerodyne product, I figured it was a good enough option.
What I like most about this system is the Infinity container, manufactured by Velocity Sports Equipment. As soon as I put it on I knew it was the rig for me. It fit like nothing I’d ever tested before. Sure, most of those were student rigs, but even those that were sport rigs didn’t fit quite like this. For a girl with a small frame, it can be hard to find used gear that fits quite this well. I’d recommend Infinity to anyone with a small build – they certainly know what they’re doing.
Other points to note: it’s completely freefly friendly and packs like a dream! Two things that were critical in choosing a rig.
(Climbing out for our three-man rolling train last week)
As you’ll notice, it’s very sharp, too. Purple with blue, black and gray accents. Now, if only I had a matching pair of freefly pants…
If you’re in the market for a new rig, or know someone who is, I highly recommend checking out Infinity.
Blue skies!

“I like my rig because I like it” is not a gear review.
Settle down and enjoy skydiving for a while without trying to be an instant authority on everything.
Thanks for your comment. You’ll notice that I mention reasons for liking this rig, including that it’s completely freefly friendly, it packs nicely and the fit is perfect for my small frame. All things I would consider to be part of a gear review.
Thanks for your review, Ashley! Positive feedback certainly helps keep us going, even if we didn’t make the rig specifically for you- or maybe we did, it just too a while to find you
