"...  but because they were ill-fitting student rigs ...&#13;  &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&#13;  Start by asking an instructor to help you properly adjust student harnesses.&#13;  Tightening leg straps HIGH in your crotch will make the crotch of your jump suit bunch up, like an Elizabethan cod-piece.&#13; Some guys are proud to sport that image.&#13;  On a more serious note: leg straps are going to ride high in your crotch a hundredth of a second after opening, so you might as well adjust them to that position before boarding the plane.&#13;  Whether you buy wide of narrow leg pads depends upon how wide your thighs are. For example, I have \"chicken legs\" and find the double wide leg pads on tandem Vectors extremely uncomfortable. On the other hand, the narrow, rolled edge leg pads on my Talon 2 are so comfortable, Strong Enterprises adapted them to tandem rigs.&#13; Wide thighs equal wide leg pads.&#13; Slender thighs equal slender leg pads.&#13;  As for padding material, the 1/4 inch thick neoprene (aka. wet suit material) used in Mirage leg pads makes WAY more sense than the silly white, closed cell foam used by most other manufacturers.
