    If there is a Mirage that fits you well or that you would like us to use for reference, list its serial # here.

    It is helpful, but not required, if you can include a photo of the label.

    General

    Ladies, we need your cup size for the yoke & chest strap.

    Look in the mirror and don’t be surprised if your legs are slightly long or short; most people are not perfectly proportionate.

    Main Lift Web

    It is very difficult to measure yourself accurately, so you will need someone to assist.  Try not to skip any measurements.

    • Measure both left and right as a double check.

    • Measure from the BOTTOM of the hole at the base of your throat, diagonally over your chest, to the very TOP of your hip bone AT YOUR SIDE.

    • The top of the hip bone is approximately the same height off the ground as your belly button.

    • Common mistakes are measuring too low on the hip (too long), or not enough to the outside (too short).

    • A typical measurement would be between 15” (38 cm) and 20” (51cm), with the average being 16-18” (40-45 cm).

    image_torso2.jpg

    •  Measure from the base of the throat (same starting point as the Torso measurement), down through the crotch and up your back to the base of the collar (protruding spine bone on the back of the neck).
    • Tape should touch gently like a jumpsuit, not tight or painful.
    • Stand up straight - you should be at your maximum height.

    image_longgirth3.jpg image_longgirth4.jpg

    Reference Tool : Main Lift Web Measurement

    We will adjust the main lift web slightly for your fit preference.

    • A little snug = -.5"
    • Medium = no change
    • A little loose = +.5"

    Leg Pads

    • Measure both left and right as a double check.

    • Take EVERYTHING OUT OF YOUR POCKETS.

    • Measure around the leg, as the leg strap travels, up to the SIDE of your hip bone.  This is usually where your belt is.

    • Be sure to pull the tape SNUG.

    • The measurement should be in the range of 28” – 34” for most people.

    • Leg pad length preference varies from person to person. Some people like their pads to overlap, some like the ends to just touch, and others like a few inches of gap.  All of these are safe as long as you are sitting on the pad and your strap feeds through with at least 5-6 inches of tail.

    Tip:  Make sure your leg straps are high and tight when exiting the aircraft.  Movement of leg straps during deployment can cause bruising – remember your student gear?

    Stabilizer (waist)

    The stabilizers are already completed on this container.

    If you'd like us to double check your stabilizer size or if you want to change it, enter your info below:

     

    Reference Tool : Stabilizer Measurement

    • Measure around your waist at your belly button.  This is usually larger than your pant size.

    • Do not pull your stomach in.  Be certain the tape is level.

    • Stabilizers are sized in half inch increments:  +1.5, +1, +.5, std, -.5, -1.  You can usually go up or down one size based on your comfort preference, but not more.  Each increment is similar to loosening or tightening your belt one notch.

    TIP:  The Mirage lumbar support elastic is only for comfort.  If you would like your rig to fit tighter against your back we recommend using our small sit fly belly band.  It attaches to your hip rings and can fit in your back pocket when not being used.  We also offer a larger belly band for swooping.  Removable Belly Bands

    • Measure around your waist at your belly button.  This is usually larger than your pant size.

    Yoke

    The yoke is already completed on this container.

    If you'd like us to double check your yoke size or if you want to change it, enter your info below:

     

    Reference Tool : Yoke

    • Measure around your chest at the nipples

    • Be certain the tape is level across your back

    image_chest1.jpgimage_chest2.jpg

    • Let us know if you have thick shoulders.   This is used to assist in determining yoke extensions.

    • If you have thick shoulders we should double check your sizing.

    • +1 or -1 yoke extension means that the distance from the top of the rig to the 3 rings (over the shoulder) was adjusted by 1 inch.  If you need a yoke extension but don’t have one, the rig will feel tight in the shoulders.

     

    We’re happy to help make your rig fit.

    If you need assistance with your sizing attach:

    1)  A photo of you standing facing the camera

    • Wear a t-shirt & shorts or jeans (clothes not too baggy)
    • Put feet shoulder width apart
    • 1st hand - pointing at your belly button
    • 2nd hand - hanging comfortably at your side
    • Stand up straight and look forward
    • Head-to-toe needs to be in frame

    2)  A photo of you standing sideways to the camera

    • Turn sideways 90°
    • Pretend you are holding a tray (shoulders normal, elbows still at your side)
    • Look forward, do not turn towards the camera
    • Head-to-toe needs to be in frame

    NOTE:   We need to see how long your body is compared to your legs (1st photo) and how thick you are (2nd photo), so please don’t wear jackets, long shirts or low crotch pants.

  • 3. Harness Options

    This container has the Unisyn Harness.

    Hip & Chest Rings : Most of the rigs that we build have the Unisyn Hip & Chest Ring Harness. It includes the Mirage 1-Piece Leg Pads that are known for their comfort under canopy, and it has the best re-sale value since it is our most popular harness. This harness is also the least expensive to have adjusted.

    Hips Rings : The Unisyn Hip Rings Harness is the same as the Unisyn H&C except that it does not have chest rings. It still has the Mirage 1-Piece Leg Pads. This harness has less flexibility at the top of the harness. Be aware that this harness is more expensive to have adjusted than the Unisyn with chest rings.

    * Stainless steel hardware is standard on all Mirage harnesses.

    MORE INFO

    This container has the 1-piece contoured leg pads option. You can change it if you have a different preference.

    1 Piece vs 2 Piece

    • 1-Piece Leg Pads are known for their comfort under canopy. These are the most popular.
    • Traditional 2 piece (split) Leg Pads are also available.

    Contoured vs Straight

    • Contoured Leg Pads are double wide in the saddle and normal between the legs, making them more comfortable under canopy.  These are the most popular.
    • Straight leg pads are the same width for the entire pad.

    Type 8 is recommended at 225 lbs (exit weight).
    Type 8 is required at 250 lbs (exit weight).

    Our standard length is 20".  Most people use this size.

    If you have shorter arms you may prefer -2"
    If you have longer arms you may prefer +2"
    If you have very long arms you may prefer +4" (these will be too long for most people)

    17-25"

    Swoop Loops

    Soft:  The soft swoop loops add a little stiffness to the loop, but not enough to stay open when you take your hands out.

    Medium:  The medium swoop loops are our most popular; they stay open and also pack flat.

    XFirm:  The x-firm swoop loops do not lay flat when packing; your riser covers will bulge when closed.  These loops are intended for hop & pop swooping.

    Large:  The large swoop loops will fit larger hands or thick gloves.  They pack flat.

    Some colors are limited - they will be removed from the list when not in stock.

    Only suggested for competition swooping.

    The standard Mirage chest strap is approximately 20"

    If you know you like a longer chest strap but don't know how much, then choose +6 or +8 inches.

  • 4. Reserve Deployment Options

    This container has the Trap System.

    The Mirage patented Trap System™️ MARD can be packed in any of the following configurations:

    • RSL with MARD  (Trap System)
    • RSL without MARD  (RSL Only)
    • No RSL or MARD

    MORE INFO

    Red is our standard color and quickest delivery time.

    You can view our color swatches HERE

    This container has the soft ripcord option.
    You can switch it to metal if you prefer.

    MORE INFO

  • 5. Main Deployment Options

    This container has magnetic riser covers.  

    Our magnetic covers are able to be set to standard or firm by the user to accommodate their flying style.  Magnets are field replaceable.

    MORE INFO

    Semi-open bottom corners for better wing suit deployments.

    If you plan to start wingsuiting in the future, you can wait and have us do this modification later.  It is easy for us to do and it is better to have standard corners if you are not wingsuiting.

    This container has the secondary closing loop option.

    Located in the bottom of the main pack tray, in addition to the primary loop location on bottom flap; allowing the user to choose.

    MORE INFO

    This container has a collapsible main pilot chute.

    Main PC's are made with F-111 per most canopy manufacturer's recommendation.

    ZP is available if requested, in limited colors, for an additional charge.

    MORE INFO

    Longer bridle lengths (9' and 12') are for wingsuiting.

    • If you have not yet started to wingsuit but plan to in the future, you should get a standard bridle now and then get a new pilot chute with a longer bridle later.  A longer bridle, when not wingsuiting, can cause harder openings.  
    • If you wish to get a second pilot chute now so that you will have it when you are ready to start wingsuiting, then order the standard bridle here and put a note for an additional pilot chute with a wingsuit longer bridle in the notes section.

    This container includes the choice of:

    • Plastic Pipe:   Grey PVC
    • Hacky:   Leather Handle (round)
    • FreeFly Hacky:   Leather Handle (round) w. FreeFly Tuck Tab
    • FreeFly Handle:   Cordura Handle (firm pillow) w. FreeFly Tuck Tab

    Black is our standard color and quickest delivery time.

    You can view our color swatches HERE

    Black is our standard color and quickest delivery time.

    If you’d like a solid color hacky, make the 2nd color the same as the 1st color.

  • 6. Design & Embroidery

    This container has the premium spacer foam backpad, leg pads, and stabilizer (waist) with the adjustable lumbar support.

    This container has an upgraded design.

  • 7. Spare Parts & Accessories

    Lose your handle or freebag?  Don’t lose the whole weekend along with it.

    The Reserve Spare Parts Kit includes all the parts necessary to repack a reserve parachute.  This is very useful in case of the loss of parts after a reserve deployment.  Cutaways tend to happen on weekends or on vacations when you don’t want to lose days stuck on the ground.  Spare Parts Kits are made to match your rigs’ specifications.

    Kits are priced 5% below the price of the same parts purchased a-la-carte.

    Includes:

     

    ** Due to variations in part choices, price will be calculated and added to final invoice.

    Maintain your rig with the correct parts.

    The Mirage Harness and Container System was designed and tested as a complete assembly.  It is critical to use the appropriate replacement parts.

    Even the best materials will eventually show wear from repeated use.  Main parts are limited life components.  They should be inspected regularly and replaced periodically as indicated in the Mirage owner’s manual.  Having them in your gear bag will help ensure they are replaced as needed.

    Main spare parts are also useful for having a compatible second main on risers.  When setting up a second canopy it is safest to leave the risers, bag and pilot chute attached.  The less often you switch parts, the lower the chance of making an error.

    Kits are priced 5% below the price of the same parts purchased a-la-carte.

    Includes:

     

    ** Due to variations in part choices, price will be calculated and added to final invoice.
