A complete rig is a container and harness with a main canopy, a reserve canopy, and usually an automatic activation device (AAD). Buying one means checking every part, and how the parts fit together.
Rigs listed right now
Sellers write their own listings. Have a certified parachute rigger inspect used gear before you jump it.
What to check on a complete rig
- Date of manufacture of the container, reserve and main, and the manufacturer’s guidance on service life
- The reserve repack date and the rigger’s records
- Compatibility: the main and reserve sizes must be approved for that container by the manufacturer
- The AAD model, its service and end-of-life dates, and its paperwork
- Harness fit: it has to fit the new owner, not just the seller
- Wear and damage to fabric, hardware, risers, the release system, closing loops and lines
- History: jump count on the main, any reserve deployments, repairs or modifications
Questions to ask the seller
- Has the reserve ever been deployed?
- Who last packed the reserve, and when?
- Any repairs, modifications or manufacturer notices?
- Can I see the paperwork and records?
- Will you let a rigger inspect it before I buy?
Before you jump it
Have a certified parachute rigger inspect a used rig before you jump it, and ideally before you pay. Rig and canopy choices also depend on your size, experience and discipline, so talk to an instructor or coach.
