Repacks!

OK, its understood that as a skydiver you most likely pack your main. As you gain experience you learn more and more about your main and how you like it to open. Your reserve however has one function that your main does not. Its there to save your life.

Holding a riggers license means holding a great amount of responsibility. Here at First Impact Rigging the reserve repack is the most serious thing we do and the level of detail necessitated by this process is reflected in our work. If you have ever had a reserve ride you know the feeling of relief when it opens followed by the feelings of love, respect and adoration for your rigger. While love and respect are great, skydivers are by default close friends and we want all of our close friends to be around for a long time.

For those who have not witnesses the steps involved in doing a repack, we hope this gives you an "insider's" view.
